Overview
Mount Everest, the greatest challenge, is more than just the most famous mountain on Earth. It possesses a unique beauty, mystery, and mood. A successful Everest expedition leaves one feeling like the most proud and adventurous person on the planet.
Mt. Everest’s local names reflect the deep respect it commands from all who behold it. Standing incredibly tall, silhouetted against the shared sky of Nepal and Tibet, this mountain is known by many names: Chomolungma, Sagarmatha, Qomolungma/Chomolungma, or simply Mt. Everest (8,848.86 m). Whichever name one chooses, its mystique continues to endure. For most mountaineers, reaching the summit of Everest is a lifelong dream. Many trekkers, meanwhile, find great fulfillment simply by viewing the mountain from Kala Pattar, Gokyo Ri, or by visiting Everest Base Camp.
The South Col route on the Nepalese side of Mt. Everest is the path first taken by Sir Edmund Hillary and the late Tenzing Norgay Sherpa when they made the first successful ascent in 1953. One of the most colorful stories of early Everest attempts involves Captain J. Noel and his native companions. Disguised as a Mohammedan, Noel journeyed from Darjeeling through northwest Sikkim and around the north of Kanchenjunga in an effort to reach Everest. Unfortunately, his mission was cut short just 65 km from the mountain when a posse of Tibetan soldiers forced him to turn back.
Although there are now many routes on Mt. Everest, we follow the classical South Col route, which remains the most reliable path to the summit. While the Everest expedition has been successfully completed many times, prospective climbers must not approach it with complacency. Everest remains a deadly mountain. It must be approached with serious determination and a focused mountaineering mindset. The mountain remains as inexplicable, beguiling, and magnificent as ever.
In organizing Everest Expeditions, our goal is to help as many members as possible reach the summit and, even more importantly, to ensure their safe return home. However, given the extreme nature of an Everest expedition, the highest and one of the most challenging climbs in the world, we cannot guarantee every outcome. Asian Hiking Team is committed to conducting a safe, successful, and enjoyable experience, and will do everything possible to achieve these goals.
Following final preparations for the expedition in Kathmandu, we fly to Lukla and begin our teahouse/hotel trek through the Khumbu Valley to Everest Base Camp. We establish Base Camp at approximately 5,364 meters (17,598 feet) at the foot of the infamous Khumbu Icefall.
From there, we ascend to Camp 1 at around 6,065 meters (19,900 feet), situated in the Western Cwm. We then proceed to Camp 2 at approximately 6,400 meters (21,000 feet), which serves as our Advanced Base Camp. Our route continues up the Lhotse Face to Camp 3, located at about 7,200 meters (23,625 feet). Finally, we advance to Camp 4 on the South Col at approximately 7,950 meters (26,085 feet), from where we make our summit push to the top of Mount Everest, standing at 8,848 meters (29,029 feet).
Climbing routes and best season:
The expedition begins in Kathmandu, where we make final preparations before flying to Lukla (2,860 m). From Lukla, we trek through the renowned Khumbu Valley, passing through Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche, before arriving at Everest Base Camp (5,364 m).
Base Camp (5,364 m / 17,598 ft): At Base Camp, we spend several days acclimatizing and organizing equipment and loads for the climb. Situated at the foot of the Khumbu Icefall, this is our expedition's staging point. We establish Base Camp and conduct acclimatization climbs while preparing for our ascent.
Camp 1 (6,065 m / 19,900 ft) Western Camp:** Our climb begins with a challenging ascent through the Khumbu Icefall, navigating massive series, crevasses, and ladders. Reaching Camp 1, we enter the Western Camp, a broad glacial valley surrounded by towering peaks.
Camp 2 (6,400 m / 21,000 ft) Advanced Base Camp:** From Camp 1, we ascend gradually through the Western Cwm to Camp 2, located beneath the imposing Lhotse Face. Camp 2 serves as our Advanced Base Camp, where we spend additional time acclimatizing and preparing for higher altitudes.
Camp 3 (7,200 m / 23,625 ft) Lhotse Face: Climbing the steep, icy slopes of the Lhotse Face, we establish Camp 3 on a small ledge. This segment requires fixed ropes and careful climbing techniques due to the steep gradient and exposure.
Camp 4 (7,950 m / 26,085 ft) — South Col: Our ascent continues to Camp 4 on the South Col, a windswept saddle between Mount Everest and Lhotse. This is our final staging camp for the summit push. Climbers typically rest here briefly and prepare for their summit attempt.
Summit Push (8,848.86 m / 29,032 ft): The final climb begins late at night from Camp 4. Key landmarks along the route include the Balcony, the South Summit, the Hillary Step (now a slope after the 2015 earthquake), and the final ridge to the true summit. From the summit, climbers experience panoramic views of the Himalayas and the satisfaction of standing on the highest point on Earth.
Descent: Following the summit, climbers descend carefully to Camp 4, and then to Base Camp, where the expedition concludes before trekking back to Lukla for the return flight to Kathmandu.
Best Climbing Seasons: Pre-Monsoon (Spring Season): Late April to End of May. Weather: After the harsh winter, high winds (jet stream) gradually move away, offering a narrow window of more stable weather in May — known as the "summit window."

Note: in the season time, there are no direct flight to Lukla (air traffic in Kathmandu airport) so early morning drive to Ramechhap airport, 4 hours and flight to Lukla and continues trekking to Phakding.
Start your day by crossing the Dudh Koshi River via a suspension bridge, entering a trail that meanders through enchanting blue pine and rhododendron forests. The path ascends gently, leading you to the village of Tok Tok, known for its traditional metalwork. Here, you'll be greeted with a captivating view of Mount Thamserku (6,608m / 21,680ft). Continuing onward, you'll pass through the village of Banker (2,905m / 9,531ft), which offers a small lodge for trekkers. The trail then crosses to the east bank of the Dudh Koshi River, leading you through Chumowa and towards Monjo (2,835m / 9,301ft). Monjo is the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you'll need to present your permits for verification. After completing the permit formalities, descend to the river and cross a suspension bridge to reach Jorsalle (2,774m / 9,100ft), the last settlement before Namche Bazaar. This is an ideal spot to rest and have lunch before the challenging ascent ahead. The trail continues along the Dudh Koshi River, leading you to the iconic Hillary Suspension Bridge. Crossing this bridge marks the beginning of a steep climb through dense pine forests. Approximately halfway up, you'll be rewarded with your first glimpse of Mount Everest, nestled between the peaks of Lhotse and Nuptse. The final stretch involves a series of switchbacks that eventually lead you to the vibrant town of Namche Bazaar, approximately 10.8 km (6.7 miles). Upon arrival in Namche Bazaar, settle into your accommodation and take time to explore the town's unique blend of traditional Sherpa culture and modern amenities. Namche offers various facilities, including cafes, shops, and internet access, making it a comfortable spot to rest and acclimatize.
Today is the acclimatization rest day. This "rest day" strategically preps your body for higher altitudes while immersing you in Sherpa heritage. Acclimatization Hike to Hotel Everest View and Khumjung/Kunde Villages: Begin with a hike to the Syangboche Airstrip (3,750m / 12,303ft), one of the highest airstrips globally. Though not used for regular flights, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Continue ascending to the Hotel Everest View (3,880m / 12,729ft), renowned for its stunning vistas of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other Himalayan giants. The round-trip hike from Namche Bazaar takes approximately 3–4 hours and is ideal for acclimatization. Hike to Khumjung and Kunde Villages: From the hotel Everest view, descend to the traditional Sherpa villages of Khumjung and Kunde. In Khumjung, visit the monastery that houses a purported Yeti scalp and the school established by Sir Edmund Hillary. Kunde is home to the Kunde Hospital, also founded by Hillary, serving the local community. Explore Namche Bazaar: Sagarmatha National Park Visitor Center: Located above the town, this center provides insights into the park's flora, fauna, and the culture of the Khumbu region. Sherpa Culture Museum: Adjacent to the visitor center, this museum showcases Sherpa history, mountaineering artifacts, and exhibits on local traditions. Namche Bazaar Exploration: Stroll through the bustling streets of Namche Bazaar, which serves as the main trading hub of the Khumbu region. The town hosts a weekly market every Saturday, where traders from surrounding villages gather. Explore local shops, bakeries, cafes, and even an Irish pub, reputedly the highest in the world. Return to your lodge in Namche Bazaar for a restful evening. Ensure you're well-hydrated and prepared for the next day's trek.
Starting from Namche Bazaar, the trail ascends eastward, skirting the ridge above the Dudh Koshi River. This path offers panoramic views of the Himalayan giants, including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and the distinctive Ama Dablam. The route meanders through rhododendron and conifer forests, passing through the settlement of Kyangjuma. Descending steeply, the trail leads to the riverside hamlet of Phunki Tenga (3,250m / 10,663ft), nestled beside the Dudh Koshi River. This is an ideal spot to rest and enjoy lunch before tackling the afternoon ascent. After lunch, the trail climbs steadily through a dense forest of pine and rhododendron. The ascent is invigorating, with the sounds of the river fading as you gain altitude. After approximately 2 to 3 hours of climbing, you arrive at the spiritual heart of the Khumbu region, approximately 9.6 km (6 miles). After settling into your guesthouse, take time to explore the surroundings. The views from Tengboche are breathtaking, with the majestic peaks of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku forming a stunning backdrop. The serene environment and spiritual ambiance make Tengboche a memorable stop on your trek. Tengboche Monastery: Tengboche is renowned for its impressive monastery, the largest in the Khumbu region. Founded in 1916, Tengboche Monastery (also known as Dawa Choling Gompa) is a significant center of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery has been rebuilt twice due to natural disasters and stands as a testament to the resilience and devotion of the local community. Visitors are welcome to attend the daily prayer ceremonies, which typically occur at dawn and dusk. These sessions, filled with the resonant chants of monks and the sounds of traditional instruments, offer a profound spiritual experience. Normally the pryering time 3pm and 6am the time it's advisable to check upon arrival.
Departing from Tengboche, the trail descends through a serene rhododendron and juniper forest, leading to a crossing over the Imja Khola via a sturdy suspension bridge. As you ascend, the majestic Ama Dablam (6,812m / 22,349ft) dominates the skyline, offering breathtaking view. The path continues to Pangboche (3,985m / 13,074ft), home to the Khumbu region's oldest monastery, Pangboche Gompa, established in the 17th century. If time permits, a visit to this monastery provides insight into the region's rich spiritual heritage. Beyond Pangboche, the landscape transitions to alpine meadows with sparse vegetation. After approximately an hour's trek, you'll reach the settlement of Somare (4,010m / 13,156ft), an ideal spot for a lunch break. Continuing onward, the trail splits: the left path leads to Pheriche, while the right ascends to Dingboche. Opt for the right path, gradually climbing to Dingboche, a picturesque village nestled in the Imja Valley. Dingboche is known for its stone-walled fields, protecting crops from the cold winds and grazing animals (Appro 10KM). Upon arrival in Dingboche, it's advisable to rest and hydrate. For those feeling energetic, a short acclimatization hike of approximately 200 meters (656 feet) to Nagarjun Hill offers panoramic views of Makalu, Lhotse, Chalotse, Tawache, and Ama Dablam. This "climb high, sleep low" approach aids in acclimatization, preparing you for higher elevations ahead.
This acclimatization hike follows the "climb high, sleep low" principle, aiding your body's adjustment to higher altitudes and preparing you for the upcoming ascent to Everest Base Camp. Today acclimatization hike to Nagarjun hill, the trail ascends steeply towards Nangkartshang Peak, also known as Nagarjun Hill. The path is well-trodden but becomes increasingly steep and rocky as you gain elevation. The ascent typically takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on individual pace and acclimatization. Panoramic views of towering Himalayan peaks, including Makalu (8,485m), Lhotse (8,516m), Ama Dablam (6,812m), and Island Peak (6,189m). Return to Dingboche for rest and overnight stay. Use the remainder of the day to relax, hydrate, and prepare for the next stage of your trek towards Lobuche.
Departing from Dingboche, the trail ascends gently along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier, offering panoramic views of peaks such as Tawache, Cholatse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, and Island Peak. After approximately 2.5 to 3 hours of trekking, you'll reach Dughla (also known as Thukla) at 4,620m (15,157ft), a common spot for a lunch break. From Dughla, the path steepens as you climb the moraine of the Khumbu Glacier, leading to the Thukla Pass at around 4,830m (15,850ft). Here, you'll encounter memorials dedicated to climbers who have lost their lives on Everest, providing a poignant moment of reflection. Continuing from the pass, the trail levels out, traversing the western edge of the Khumbu Glacier before arriving at Lobuche, a small settlement with several lodges catering to trekkers, approximately 8.5 km (5.3 miles). Upon arrival in Lobuche, settle into your lodge, rest, and prepare for the next day's trek towards Gorak Shep and Everest Base Camp.
Start from Lobuche, the trail follows the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. The path is rocky and undulating, with a gradual ascent to Gorak Shep. Despite the moderate elevation gain of about 254m (833ft), the high altitude makes this segment physically demanding. The distance covered is approximately 5 km (3.1 miles), typically taking 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. A brief rest and lunch at Gorak Shep, get on on the trek to Everest Base Camp. The trail traverses the Khumbu Glacier's moraine, branded by loose rocks and occasional ice patches. The elevation gain is about 200m (656ft), overnight at camp.

The first rotation usually begins after a period of rest and acclimatization at Everest Base Camp (5,364 m / 17,598 ft). Climbers ascend early in the morning through the Khumbu Icefall. A dynamic and technically challenging section of the route to reach Camp 1 (6,065 m / 19,900 ft). After one night at Camp 1, the team continues through the Western Cwm to Camp 2 (6,400 m / 21,000 ft) also known as Advanced Base Camp. Climbers typically spend two to three nights at Camp 2 to acclimatize further and conduct training climbs.

Checklist
Ice Axe/Ice Hammer
Bring a lightweight axe with a pick that will stick easily in hard glacier ice. Attach a light weight wrist leash that is usable for climbing steeper terrain.
Crampons
These must be sharp and must fit your boot perfectly.
Harness
Make sure the buckle is easy for you to thread in cold conditions! Gear loops will be useful for this trip as well as adjustable leg loops.
Helmet
Be sure you can comfortably fit a warm hat underneath.
Hardware
Bring 3 locking and 4 lightweight regular carabineers. It is helpful if at least one of the locking carabineers has a "key gate", like the Petzl Attaché. Bring one handled ascender and one Petzl Tibloc for ascending the fixed rope. You will need rigging material--two sewn 48" nylon slings and 10' of 8 mm perlon should be sufficient. Also include one small 5 mm prussik loop (about 4 feet of cord tied with a double fisherman's knot) for a rappel backup. For rappelling the Black Diamond ATC Guide is good since it can handle ropes from 7.7mm to 11mm. A Figure 8 is an old standby and works on a variety of ropes and also icy ropes. While it twists the ropes more, it is quite foolproof. You might consider both, in case you drop one of them and lose it. Our guide have Ice tools, Ice screws, Carabineers, Locking carabineers, Short-5- millimeter accessory cords, slings.
Insulated Parka/Expedition Suit
Heavyweight insulated expedition Suit/parka with hood.
Jacket
Lightweight waterproof-breathable construction with a hood.
Pants
Lightweight waterproof-breathable shell pants or bibs with full-length leg zippers. ALSO, very useful are synthetic insulation full-zip pants, for example, Mountain Hardware Compressor Pants--for evenings and cold summit days.
Mid-Layers
Fleece or Soft Shell layering pieces that work well with the rest of your clothing. A Soft Shell jacket and an expedition weight long john top will work well.
Base Layers
- 2 synthetic tops and 1 bottom. Zip neck tops are the way to go.
Mittens
Fleece mittens with an over mitten. Nothing competes with a mitten for warmth when the going got tough.
Ski Gloves
A warm insulated glove with leather palm will be worn a lot of the time.
Light Gloves
Polypropylene or fleece. Leather palms handle the fixed line better, Leather gloves or good abrasion resistant climbing glove for the rock sections.
Stocking Hat
Wool or fleece stocking hat with ear protection, Neck Gaiter and/or a Buff (highly recommended), Baseball hat and Bandana.
Trekking Poles
Poles come in handy for balance and easing impact to your knees. Get collapsible poles that can attach to your backpack and fit into your Duffel.
Backpack
You may choose to bring a smaller "day pack" for your airline travel carry on, and this can be used on the trek if you want to carry a smaller (35 liter or so), light trekking pack. You need a pack big enough for your clothes, water, camera, food, etc. during the day. Waterproof rain cover for your trekking pack.
Trekking Clothes
Light hiking pants and / or hiking shorts for warm weather down low-NOT cotton. Shirts for hiking on nice days (t-shirts OK, quick-drying synthetic fabric is better.) Don't overdo your trekking clothes. A pair of shorts, long pants and a couple of shirts will do. Some pair of Socks, Underpants/panties/Bra, Belt, Skirt, one set sport sandals and Trousers, you can handwash them during the trek as needed.
Lightweight Approach Boots
Find a pair that fits and log some miles in them before your trip. A low cut shoe is adequate, but some hikers will prefer more ankle support.
Sleeping Bag
Bring a sleeping bag comfortable to -20 for trekking, however it is better to bring -30 for climbing. During the trekking in hotel/guest house -20 is fine but on the tented home you need -30. Down is lighter and much more compressible. Keep in mind that many of your nights will be much warmer than -20, especially on the trek in to base camp.
Double Climbing Boots with expedition liners
Make sure your crampons can be adjusted to fit them (La sportiva - Olympus Mons Cube).
Approach boots
Which will work on the trek and approach to Camp 1, and even up to Camp 2 if conditions warrant.
Gaiters and Yaktrax or Kahtoola Micro spikes
in case of snow.
Socks
Four/five sets of climbing socks.
Eyewear
Bring good sunglasses with side protection. For contact lens wearers, ski goggles with light color lenses (for use at night) might be useful in windy conditions. The ski goggles are essential for all climbers in really stormy conditions and can serve as an emergency backup for broken or lost sunglasses.
Vision correction
Bring extra prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses if you wear them. Lens solutions are not widely available in Nepal, bring enough for the duration.
Wrist Watch
With alarm and night light. An altimeter watch is useful.
First Aid
Hand sanitizer (Purell), moleskin or Compede, athletic tape, aspirin (some climbers take a baby aspirin every day up high) and/or ibuprofen / acetaminophen, Imodium, Band-Aids, antacid, insect repellant, ear plugs, and two rolls of toilet paper in quart Ziploc bags (we will have a supply at Base Camp), small towel, soap/shampoo.
Prescription Medications
Antibiotic for upper respiratory problems, Antibiotic for GI problems, Diamox for acclimatization (125 mg tabs recommended; enough for a week or more), Tylenol 3 or similar for severe headaches, Asthma medication, if any history.
Skin Care
Sun block lotion (at least #30 protection factor -- have at least one smaller tube (1 oz) that can fit in your pocket) and lip salve. Put your lip protection on a string and hang it from your neck. That way, you'll use it. It also works great for your nose.
Garbage Bags
2 or 3 large plastic bags make great liners for your pack in wet weather.
Personal Snack Food
The food is great on the trek, but you might enjoy a few snacks (not more than 5 pounds) from home and also some drink mixes if you like these to add to your water bottle (let the iodine have 30 minutes contact time before adding). Summit climbers should bring some high altitude snacks they prefer for hard days.
MP3 Player and Books

Utensils
Bring an insulated mug with a lid, a decent sized bowl, spoon, pocket knife and lighter.
Backpack
Climbing Backpack: Medium size internal frame pack (60 liter capacity). Look for a pack which is comfortable to carry, very durable, as light as is reasonable and one which has a minimum number of bells and whistles.
Duffel Bags
We normally pack all our equipment in two large Duffel bags. Make sure they are well labeled with indelible ink as well as a travel tag. The duffels go on the trek/climb with you and will be carried by porters and yaks. Except for them to get wet and muddy, so rugged, waterproof duffels are good. Bags with wheels are nice for the airport, but the porters and yaks don't like to carry them, so don't bring wheeled bags (or at least not two of them). You will also store some travel clothes at the hotel in Kathmandu while trekking, so a small additional bag with a lock might be handy. Bring 5 large plastic garbage bags to pack gear inside duffels to protect gear from rain.
Travel Wallet
Some type of secure travel wallet is a must. Remember a pen for travel documents.
Passport
(valid for at least 6 months): It is easy to get your Nepal visa on arrival in Kathmandu at the airport bring a passport photo. Bring a copy of the information pages and a couple of extra passport photographs. Carry these in a separate location. You'll be glad you did if you ever lose a passport.
