Everest Expedition Overview

The Everest Expedition is the ultimate adventure for mountaineers seeking to stand on the highest point on Earth. Towering at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet), Mount Everest is a dream climb for many. This journey is not just about reaching the summit, but also about testing your endurance, skill, and determination in one of the most challenging environments on the planet.

The expedition begins with a scenic flight to Lukla, followed by a gradual trek through the beautiful Khumbu region. Along the way, climbers pass through Sherpa villages, cross suspension bridges, and adjust to the altitude with planned acclimatization days. The trek to Everest Base Camp itself is a stunning experience, offering views of iconic peaks like Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Nuptse.

Once at base camp, the real mountaineering begins. Climbers spend several weeks adjusting to higher altitudes by climbing up and down the mountain through a series of camps (Camp I, Camp II, Camp III, and Camp IV) before making the final push to the summit. The climb involves navigating icefalls, crevasses, and steep ridges, all under the guidance of experienced Sherpa leaders and a dedicated support team.

Our Everest Expedition is carefully planned to increase your chances of success while prioritizing safety. With high-quality equipment, nutritious food, and expert support every step of the way, we aim to make this once-in-a-lifetime journey as smooth, memorable, and rewarding as possible.


What to expect during the Everest expedition in 2025?

Since Mt. Everest was first conquered in 1953, thousands have dreamed of standing on its summit. Many have succeeded, while others have turned back due to the extreme challenges. The good news is climbing Everest has become more achievable today, especially with the right support team.

At Moon Himalaya Adventure, we are proud to be one of Nepal’s trusted Everest expedition companies. With our carefully designed 66 days itinerary, you have a greater chance of reaching the summit and returning safely. From the moment you sign up, our experienced team will support you at every step of the journey.

Expect to climb alongside veteran Sherpas who have successfully summited Everest multiple times. Your expedition begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, where you will spend three nights preparing, attending briefings, and exploring the city.

Next, you will fly to Lukla and begin the trek through the Sagarmatha National Park, crossing suspension bridges and passing through picturesque Sherpa villages. The trail slowly ascends through changing landscapes, giving you time to acclimatize and enjoy the local culture.

During the trek, you will stay in cozy lodges with warm meals and basic comforts. Upon reaching Everest Base Camp, our full expedition team will welcome you and help you settle in. You will spend several nights here to acclimatize and prepare for the climb ahead.

Before the summit push, we hold a traditional puja ceremony led by a local monk to bless the expedition, a meaningful moment that connects you with the mountain and the culture of the Khumbu region.

With expert guidance, detailed planning, and deep respect for the mountain, our 2025 Everest Expedition offers a life-changing adventure and your best chance to stand on top of the world.


How long does the Everest Expedition take?

The Everest Expedition typically takes around 60 to 70 days from arrival in Kathmandu to final departure. This extended duration is essential for proper acclimatization, weather windows, climbing rotations, and a safe summit attempt.

Our Everest Expedition in 2025 follows a 66 days itinerary. This includes several key phases:

  • Arrival & Preparation in Kathmandu (3–4 days)
    Final gear checks, briefings, and sightseeing before the journey begins.

  • Trek to Everest Base Camp (8–10 days)
    A scenic trek through the Khumbu Valley with gradual altitude gain.

  • Acclimatization and Climbing Rotations at Base Camp (20–30 days)
    Multiple climbs up to higher camps and back to build altitude tolerance.

  • Summit Window (7–10 days)
    A flexible window depending on weather, where climbers push from Camp IV to the summit.

  • Return to Kathmandu (3–5 days)
    Descend to Lukla and fly back to the capital for your final departure.

Climbing Everest is not a quick adventure, it is a carefully timed journey that prioritizes safety, adaptation to high altitude, and the best chance of a successful summit.


What is the route we will take to the summit?

For the Everest Expedition in 2025, we follow the legendary South Col route via Nepal, the same path used by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in their historic first ascent. It is the most established and well-supported route, offering both cultural richness and the highest chances of a successful summit.

Here is what you can expect along the journey to the top of the world:

Everest Base Camp (5,364m / 17,598ft)

You will spend the longest time at Everest Base Camp, your home for much of the expedition. Settled among towering peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, and Pumori, the base camp sits on a glacier, so you may occasionally hear or feel the ice shifting beneath your tent. But don’t worry, it is completely safe and part of the experience.

During peak season, the base camp is lively with climbers and colorful tents, creating a vibrant yet peaceful environment. This is where your acclimatization begins, and we establish our permanent camp with full facilities.

Camp I (5,900m / 19,357ft)

The climb from Base Camp to Camp I takes you through the Khumbu Icefall, one of the most technical sections of the entire route. You will navigate towering seracs, crevasses, and shifting ice using ladders and ropes. It is a surreal and thrilling experience.

We do several rotations to Camp I during the acclimatization period before officially moving up.

Camp II (6,400m / 20,997ft)

Camp II lies in the Western Cwm, just below the mighty face of Lhotse. This is our main operational base above EBC, complete with kitchen, dining, sleeping, and washroom tents. You will spend more time here than in any other high camp as we continue acclimatizing and preparing for the summit push.

Camp III (7,100m / 23,294ft)

From Camp II, the climb becomes steeper and icier. You will scale the Lhotse Face using fixed ropes on 30–45 degree ice slopes. By now, altitude will start affecting your body more noticeably, but supplemental oxygen is not used yet.

We usually spend two nights here to allow your body to adjust before pushing higher.

Camp IV – South Col (8,000m / 26,247ft)

This is the final camp before the summit, located at the South Col, a windswept, exposed saddle between Everest and Lhotse. It is also the start of the “Death Zone”, where oxygen levels are dangerously low.

To reach South Col, you will cross rock sections like the Yellow Band and Geneva Spur, both tackled using fixed ropes. At this altitude, everything becomes more difficult, even breathing.

Summit Push (8,848.8m / 29,031ft)

Your summit bid begins around 1:00 AM, headlamps lighting the way as you move through the most mentally and physically demanding section of the climb. The route is fully roped, and you will pass notable landmarks like the Balcony, South Summit, and the famous Hillary Step before reaching the true summit. Expect to be climbing for 9 to 13 hours round trip.

Once at the top, you will have a few precious minutes to take in the view, snap photos, and celebrate, then it’s time to descend safely.

After the summit, we descend steadily back through the camps, eventually returning to Everest Base Camp, and finally to Lukla for your flight back to Kathmandu. Our crew handles camp cleanup, making sure we leave the mountain as we found it.


How hard is the Everest Expedition?

The Everest Expedition is one of the toughest and most challenging adventures in the world. The main difficulty comes from the high altitude. As you climb higher, there is less oxygen in the air, which makes breathing harder and movement slower. Above 8,000 meters, in the area called the "Death Zone", even small tasks feel extremely difficult. That’s why climbers spend weeks getting used to the altitude before attempting the summit and use oxygen to help them reach the top.

Physically, the climb includes long days of walking through steep ice, snow, and rocky paths. You will cross deep crevasses and pass through dangerous sections like the Khumbu Icefall. Using ropes, ladders, and other gear is necessary to stay safe. At the same time, your body needs to be strong, but your mind also needs to stay calm and focused.

Mentally, Everest can be exhausting. You might have to wait at Base Camp for several days due to bad weather. It is cold, quiet, and sometimes frustrating. Knowing when to keep going and when to turn back is very important.

Despite all these challenges, many people successfully climb Everest every year. With the right training, strong support, and a careful plan, the dream of standing on top of the world can become a reality.


Do I need mountaineering experience for the Everest Expedition?

Yes, you do need some mountaineering experience before joining the Everest Expedition. Climbing Everest is not just a long trek, it is a serious climb that includes steep ice, snow slopes, and technical sections where you will need to use ropes, crampons, and other gear. If you have never climbed a mountain before, Everest is not the place to start.

Most climbers begin by summiting smaller peaks above 6,000 meters, such as Island Peak, Mera Peak, or Lobuche East. These climbs help you understand how your body reacts to high altitude and give you hands-on experience using mountaineering equipment. They also help you learn basic skills like walking in crampons, using an ice axe, and clipping into fixed ropes.

Having past experience also builds your confidence and helps you stay calm during tough moments on the mountain. Everest is physically demanding, but it also requires a strong mindset, good judgment, and the ability to follow your guide’s instructions carefully.

So while you don’t need to be a professional climber, having previous high-altitude and technical climbing experience is very important for your safety and success.

Do I need to climb another 8000m peak before Everest?
As of now, there is no official rule that says you must climb another 8,000-meter mountain before attempting Everest. However, the Government of Nepal is working on a new regulation that may soon require climbers to first summit a mountain over 7,000 meters in Nepal before they can get a permit for Everest.

Even if the rule hasn’t come into effect yet, we highly recommend building your experience first, for your own safety, confidence, and overall success. And of course, we will keep you updated if the government makes it official.

    Useful InformationGood to Know

    Best Time for Mount Everest Climb

    The best time to climb Mount Everest is between April and June. These months offer the most stable weather and ideal summit windows, which help climbers reach the top and return safely. The chances of heavy snowstorms, avalanches, or unstable glacier routes are lower during this period.

    The trek to Everest Base Camp is also at its best in spring. The trail comes alive with blooming rhododendron forests, clear rivers, waterfalls, and lush green hills. As May and June approach, the weather gets warmer, and while you might see some clouds, the overall conditions remain favorable.

    May is often considered the peak climbing season because the weather is more predictable, the temperatures are manageable, and the visibility is excellent. With longer daylight hours and clearer skies, you will enjoy incredible views of the Himalayas throughout the journey.


    Tents and Equipment Provided During the Expedition

    Throughout the Everest Expedition, all tents and essential mountaineering equipment are provided to ensure your safety, comfort, and success at high altitudes. During the trek to Base Camp, you will stay in locally run teahouses or lodges, which we pre-book for comfort. These lodges are basic but clean, with twin-sharing rooms and shared washrooms. Hot showers, charging, and Wi-Fi are available at most places for an extra cost.

    Once you reach Everest Base Camp, you will move into your own private sleeping tent, offering more space and privacy. From Camp I and above, tents are shared between two climbers, designed to be lightweight yet strong enough to handle extreme wind and cold. All tents used during the expedition are alpine-grade, weather-resistant, and well-insulated for the high-altitude environment.

    In addition to sleeping tents, our team sets up dining tents, kitchen tents, and toilet tents (separate for males and females) to create a comfortable and organized base camp environment. These are handled by our experienced support crew and porters, who manage setup and logistics throughout the climb.

    We also provide essential climbing gear, including fixed ropes, ladders, carabiners, crampons, and safety harnesses, although climbers are expected to bring personal items like boots, clothing layers, and headlamps. At higher camps, packed meals, thermal mats, and sleeping bags are provided to help you stay nourished and warm.


    Food and Accommodation on the Everest Expedition

    During the Everest Expedition, we make sure your food and accommodation are well-planned to keep you energized, comfortable, and focused on the climb. On the way to Everest Base Camp, you will stay in locally run teahouses and lodges. These are simple yet clean and comfortable, usually offering twin-sharing rooms with shared bathrooms. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and charging stations are available in most places for an extra cost. The warm hospitality of the Sherpa people and the cozy dining rooms create a welcoming atmosphere after long trekking days.

    Once you reach Base Camp, we provide each climber with a private sleeping tent for added comfort and privacy. From Camp I onward, tents are shared between two climbers and are built to withstand high-altitude winds and freezing temperatures. Our support crew takes care of setting up and managing all tents, including dining tents, kitchen tents, and toilet tents, so you can focus on your climb.

    As for meals, you will enjoy three nutritious meals a day throughout the expedition. During the trekking phase, meals are served at the teahouses with a variety of options like dal bhat, noodles, soup, Sherpa stew, porridge, momo, and more. In lower villages like Namche and Lukla, Western meals such as pizza, pasta, and burgers are also available.

    At Base Camp and higher camps, our trained kitchen team prepares hot meals using fresh ingredients. We also consider dietary restrictions and preferences, offering well-balanced meals rich in carbs, proteins, and healthy fats. Snacks, hot drinks, and energy foods are provided regularly to help you stay strong and hydrated. At higher camps, we serve high-calorie packed meals, soups, and energy drinks to support your summit efforts.


    Permits and Fees Included in the Everest Expedition Package

    Climbing Mount Everest involves several official permits and government fees. To make the process smooth and worry-free for you, all necessary permits and logistics-related costs are included in your expedition package. Below are the main permits and fees we handle on your behalf:

    • Everest Climbing Permit
      Issued by the Government of Nepal, this is the most important permit for the expedition. It costs $11,000 USD per climber.

    • Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit
      Required to enter the Everest region, this permit supports conservation and trail maintenance within the national park.

    • Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entry Fee
      A local government fee used to support infrastructure and tourism services in the Khumbu region.

    • Liaison Officer Fee
      Covers the cost of assigning a government liaison officer, who ensures rules are followed and provides support during the expedition.

    • Garbage Management Deposit
      As per Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) guidelines, this deposit ensures proper waste disposal and environmental responsibility.

    • All Documentation and Logistics Costs
      We handle the paperwork, government clearances, and permit processing so you can focus fully on your climb.

    All these fees are included in the total package cost, with no hidden charges. We believe in full transparency and handle everything to ensure you have a legal, safe, and hassle-free expedition.


    Support Team for the Everest Expedition

    Your success on Mount Everest depends heavily on the strength and experience of your support team, and we provide one of the best. From the moment you arrive in Nepal until you return home, you will be guided by a professional and highly experienced team dedicated to your safety, comfort, and success.

    The team includes IFMGA/UIAGM-certified guides, veteran Sherpas who have summited Everest multiple times, and trained high-altitude support staff. Each member knows the mountain intimately and is skilled at navigating everything from technical ice sections to fast-changing weather.

    At Base Camp, we have a dedicated team of cooks, helpers, and logistics managers who prepare nutritious meals and handle daily operations. On the mountain, our climbing Sherpas will assist with fixing ropes, carrying group gear, and supporting you during summit rotations.

    You will also have porters and yaks to transport personal equipment and supplies during the trek to Base Camp, allowing you to focus fully on acclimatization and rest. A liaison officer from the government joins the expedition as well to coordinate and ensure regulations are followed.

    This tightly organized team works together to give you the best chance of a safe and successful climb, while also making your journey to the top of the world a deeply meaningful and memorable experience.


    Insurance Requirements for the Everest Expedition

    Having the right insurance is very important for anyone joining the Everest Expedition. Climbing to such a high altitude comes with many risks, including altitude sickness, injuries, and sudden changes in weather. That’s why every climber must have travel insurance that covers mountaineering up to 8,848 meters.

    Your insurance should include emergency helicopter rescue, as this is the fastest and most reliable way to get medical help in the mountains. It should also cover hospital treatment, trip cancellations, lost or damaged gear, and personal accidents.

    Before choosing an insurance plan, make sure it clearly states that it covers high-altitude trekking or climbing. Many basic travel insurance policies do not include these activities, so it is important to check in detail.

    Without proper insurance, you will not be allowed to join the expedition. This is for your own safety and to make sure that help can reach you quickly if something goes wrong during the climb.
