Mt. Everest is the highest mountain on earth, when measuring the height of its summit above sea level. Everest’s summit ridge marks the border between Nepal and China. The summit of Mount Everest is thought to be rising at a rate of around 4 millimeters per year.
The mountain is called “Sagarmatha” in Nepal, meaning “Forehead of the Sky”, and in Tibetan language it is called Chomolungma or Qomolangma, meaning “Mother of the Universe”. The mountain was given its English name by Andrew Waugh, the British surveyor-general of India.
To climb Everest there are two main routes, the south-east ridge from Nepal and the north-east ridge from Tibet, as well as thirteen other less frequently climbed routes. Of the two main routes, the south-east ridge is technically easier and is the most frequently-used route. It was the route used by Hillary and Tenzing in 1953. This was, however, a decision mainly influenced by politics rather than by design, as the Tibetan border was closed to foreigners in 1949.
Most attempts are made during April and May, before the summer monsoon season. A change in the jet stream at this time of the year also reduces the average wind speeds high on the mountain. While sometime attempts are made after the monsoon in September and October, the additional snow deposited by the monsoon makes the climbing even more difficult.
Mount Everest South Side Expedition
After few days of acclimatization and observation at the Himalayas in the Everest Base Camp, we start up through the icefall to Camp1 in the early morning and return to our more comfortable Base Camp. Our practice leader at Base camp will guide all the members to become familiar with Icefall. We provide our valuable expedition members enough time to be acclimatizing with environment and altitude before we head to Camp3 and Camp4. Our Everest summit plan in general will be a single push on 7-9 days from Base Camp as follows: Everest Base Camp to Camp1, Camp1 to Camp2, Camp2 to Camp3, Camp3 to Camp4, Camp4 to Summit, and then back to Camp4, Camp4 to Camp2, Camp2 to Base Camp and continue walk back to Lukla and fly to Kathmandu. The Summit program will be dependent upon weather and snow conditions.
Everest Base Camp: 17700ft. / 5380m

Our professional base camp sherpa and helpers manage comfortable camp side. There will be practice ladders at Base Camp so that Members will have the chance to become familiar with how to walk across these before travelling through the Icefall for the first time. We take plenty of time exploring Khumbu Ice Fall, Kala Pathar, Gorakshep for acclimatize well before we head to the Camp 1.
Camp 1: 19900ft. / 6065m
Camp 1 is situated at the height of 19900ft/6065m on flat area of snow, endless snow deep crevasses and mountain walls.

From their crossing short snowfield the route moves ahead up the Geneva Spur to the east before finishing the flats of the South col. (Another wells name meaning Saddle of pass). As you are climbing over 22000ft oxygen should probably be use incase of needed.

Located at height of 26000ft/7920m. It is the last camp of the Expedition to reach on top of highest mountain on earth; it is only about 500 m to the top.

Mount Everest Expedition is a strenuous expedition. Climbers who can walk/climb up to 6-7 hours a day on an uphill and downhill trail will find this expedition fulfilling. It is best that we prepare ourselves for the Everest Expedition by climbing, jogging and exercising regularly at least couple months prior to the start of the expedition. Climbing to the Mt. Everest should be relatively fine for those who have experienced climbing over 7000m. Past climbing, hiking experience would be an asset because technical skill is required for this trip. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases should inform Utmost Adventure before booking the trek.
The best time for expedition to Mt. Everest is during spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October). The temperature is moderate and guarantees amazing views throughout the trip. Although this expedition can be undertaken during winter, the cold temperature might not be suitable for everyone.
