Mount Everest at 8,848 meters / 29,035 feet is the tallest and perhaps most coveted mountain in the world. The south (Nepalese) side is the route first climbed by Tenzing and Hillary in 1953, and the dates we have chosen feature the best weather of the year. The Nepal side of Everest is warmer and less windy than the Tibet side. The approach to base camp includes one of the most beautiful treks in the world, and goes through tiny villages and teahouses and camps in sunny meadows beneath stunning peaks. Mountaineering through the south col route is considered accessible and easier compared to north col ridge
The climb is led by Dan Mazur and Don Wargowsky . With decades of experience in Himalayan climbing, the leaders and expert Sherpa provide a safe and enjoyable expedition to the top of the world.
