Everest Expedition from Nepal

Everest Expedition from Nepal is one of the most lifetime wonderful experience and we the Incredible Himalayan Sherpa Adventure would be delighted to help you to explore in this impressive region.

Mt. Everest is the highest mountain in the world with an elevation of 8848m, South face lies in Nepal whereas the North face in Tibet. The Royal Geographical Society gave the official name as Everest, upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. The Tibetan name for Mount Everest is Chomolungma "Holy Mother". In 1960, the Nepalese government originated a Nepali name as Sagarmatha "goddess of the sky". British mountaineers made an effort to record the first to reach the Everest's summit. Two routes are used to climb the expedition, one from the southeast in Nepal and other from the north in Tibet. Autumn and Spring are best for the expedition via Nepal and Spring via Tibet. The South Col in Nepal has ominous Khumbu Icefall and Hillary Step while the camping sites in Northeast Ridge are much higher and much more rock climbing on the 2nd step and jet stream to be avoided. Nepal did not use to allow foreigners into the country at that time, so the British made several attempts on the north ridge route from the Tibet side. Everest Expedition is the greatest physically and mentally challenges with the wonderful feeling of pride and the sense of being an adventurous person. Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made the first official ascent of Everest in 1953, using the southeast ridge route who were the first to climb Everest successfully and became world’s famous heroes of the adventure climbing. Expedition to Everest is effortful task need to be physically, mentally, technically fit and ready to adjust in changing conditions.

The expedition from Nepal encounter many seen and unseen obstacles including high altitude, harsh weather conditions, and even sheer exhaustion. Climbing Everest from the Tibet side is relatively easier. Being virtually on the top of the Earth provides overlook the natural wonders of Nepal. The real trek starts from the Base Camp moving to Camp I(6065m) where we will see Khumbu glacier. Around 450m on a gradual slope to Camp II(6500m) and around 610m to Camp III(7470m) located at the head of Lhotse. From this point onwards, we will need oxygen cylinders. We will reach the Camp IV(7920m) after just crossing 8000m elevations before the final summit. This point is also known as the Death Zone. After the summit, we head down to CampIV, CampIII, CampII, CampI and finally descend to the Base Camp. We follow the same path to Namche and then to Lukla from where to take a flight back to Kathmandu. Or you can back by Heli charter from basecamp to Lukla/KTM rather than retracing same routes. If you have extra time and want to start your trek from a low elevation, Jiri to Everest Base Camp is perfect.

Everest Expedition from the Khumbu region of Nepal leads to the Khumbu Glacier to Lobuche. It is a strenuous climb. Autumn(Sep - Nov) and Spring(Mar-May) are suitable for the expedition. Our 65 days trek starts from a vibrant capital city. Following the classic Everest Base Camp trail, we fly to Lukla. En route, we will trek to Everest South Base Camp via Lukla-Namche Bazaar-Tengboche-Pheriche-Lobuche-Gorak Shep. We'll cross the massive Glacier Khumbu Ice, explore the peaceful village of Sherpa in the heart of Everest Region. The Base Camp communications center allows you to keep in touch with your family and business throughout the expedition by solar-powered laptops and satellite internet connections. This facility provides the opportunity to supply sponsors and family members with current news and photos.

Trek to Gorak Shep (5140m/16863ft. ) & hike to Everest BC (5363m/17595ft.), 5-6hr walk

The initial walk begins with gentle climb after an hour so there is the first steep but shorter climb up on to more moraines. This is the snout detritus of the receding Changri Nup and Changri Shar glacier that flow from the northern flanks of Pumori as well as the peaks of Changri and Chumbu. The further trail is underfoot with large boulders and irregular stones. Crossing this moraine area is tiring and the wind is often icy. A further short walk brings us to Gorak Shep. After lunch, we hike to feet of planet’s tallest mountain Mt. Everest. The hike begins with winds and ducks around boulders, rocky clumps and the huge moraine of the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base camp. With tremendous ice spires and cathedral-like blocks of ice, the setting has the drama of its own. The ice is quite the most astonishing gateway to any mountain in the Himalaya, an almost intoxicating highway to the sky. The hike offers us outstanding close-up views of Khumbu Ice Fall, Lhotse, Nuptse and the mountains separating Nepal from Tibet, including Pumori, Marine rocks.

Day 11-14

Base Camp Training and preparation

We spend a few days in the Base Camp acclimatizing and training for the summit. We practice using oxygen bottles, radios and other climbing equipment like fixed ropes, crampons and ladders. We take this time to sort out clothing needed for mountain climbing. As we adjust in the Base Camp, the Sherpas will stock the upper camps with food for us when we get there. We prepare our body for higher altitudes by training and resting equally. Our guides will make sure that we don’t overwork ourselves. At base camp, we are provided with a heated triple-skin mess tent for each climber, satellite telephones, and broadband internet connection to ensure comfortably. We practice climbing the Khumbu Icefall but before we do that we learn the use of ladders and fixed ropes to securely move on an ice terrain. First, we train at the Base Camp and after we get better we practice on ice column at the lower edge Khumbu Icefall. After we perfect the trail route we then head towards the upper part of the icefall. Our target at first will be climb halfway of the icefall and again down to the Base Camp by mid-morning. Gradually we climb higher up the icefall and back to Camp. We’ll go further only after we can do this in a reasonable time.

Information

Nepal Visas

You need a visa for Nepal, which can be obtained in advance or on entry. If you wish to apply before departure the current visa cost is £20 for a 15-day visa and £35 for a 30-day visa for UK passport holders. The current cost of a visa on arrival is US$25 for 15 days, US$40 for 30 days or if extending your stay $100 for 90 days. All are multiple entries. The visa on arrival fee can be paid for in cash in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros. You will also need a passport photo. Application forms are available in the immigration hall (or for electronic passports, there are visa registration machines which, after inserting your passport, automatically fill out a form for you). You must firstly join the queue to pay the visa fee and then go to the relevant immigration desk to obtain your 15, 30 or 90-day visa stamp. There can be long queues for visas on arrival.

Travelers Insurance

While you do trips through Incredible Himalayan Sherpa Adventure, you will submit a copy of your insurance certificate. Your insurance policy must coverage accidents, medical expenses and emergency evacuation including helicopter rescue and then personal liability. At the time of you do Insurance you should read the policy carefully whether your requirements are included or not. Incredible Himalayan Sherpa also advocated your Insurance policy coverage cancellation curtailment, loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have must proof of the Insurance receipt, you will do initiative otherwise you can’t get any compensation.

Helicopter Evacuation

Sometimes, Helicopter rescue situations can come due to an unexpected accident, bad weather, road obstruction/blocked or other reasons. Anywhere you options for a helicopter trip in order to back to home early due to a health issue and due to an emergency that may arise during the trip. In many cases, the expense of any helicopter flight is the only responsibility of you or your policy should be covered in these cases.

Flexible Timing

The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla significantly reduces the journey time compared to the trek via Jiri (which we also offer). The flight is the shortest and most popular way of gaining access to the region but the mountain weather is notoriously unpredictable and sometimes even during the best part of the season, flights are delayed or postponed for one or more days. We can also arrange for a Heli charter from Kathmandu to Lukla instead but this adds significant extra cost. We highly recommend that you take potential delays into account and allow for a week extra day in Kathmandu.

Money and Gratuity

Money and Gratuity; It is best to bring a mixture of cash and traveler’s checks in a major currency [some currencies are not convertible to NPR]. USD, GBP, CAD, EUR, and AUD are generally fine. Ensure you have also small denominations. As a guideline for baseline spending money we suggest USD 8 - 10 per meal in Kathmandu / Pokhara and USD 30 – 35 per day whilst trekking in the Annapurna region (if you drink or smoke or plan some major shopping this could be higher). You should exchange enough money into Nepalese Rupees to last the entire time of your trek BEFORE leaving Kathmandu. There are no exchange facilities in the villages along the trail but plenty of money changers in KTM.

Gratuity is, Since the 1960s when trekking in Nepal was developed, there has been a tradition for groups and independent visitors to gratude their crews at the end of a trek but gratuity are not included in the trip price. If you are happy with the performance of the trekking staff, we suggest the following as a minimum: USD 7 per day of the wages or around one day’s wage for each week on a trek. As a rule, and through tradition, the head cook should get a little more than the porters and ‘Sherpa’ and kitchen crews. The Sardar and Leader/Guide should get a little more again.
