What to expect during the Everest expedition in 2024?
Since Mt. Everest was first conquered by a human in 1953, many have seen the dream to reach this place, and many have successfully achieved it, too. At the same time, many people have also failed to reach the top of Everest. The good news is that climbing Mt. Everest today is much more possible if you are supported by the right team.
We, Moon Himalaya Adventure, are one of the best Everest expedition companies in Nepal. Following our Everest expedition 66 days itinerary, you are more likely to reach the summit and return safely. From the moment you sign up for Mt. Everest expedition with us, our team will guide you to the top of the summit and back.
Climb with veteran Sherpas who have summited Mount Everest numerous times before. The journey starts with your arrival in Kathmandu. You will spend three nights here, preparing for the expedition and exploring the city. Then, fly to Lukla and begin the trekking adventure.
Following the rugged trail within the Sagarmatha National Park, you will cross many hanging bridges over rivers. The trail gradually ascends from one Sherpa village to another, offering a glimpse of their daily lifestyle and culture. Enjoy stunning landscapes as the trail continues to the base camp.
Spend nights in lodges along the trekking route. Upon reaching the base camp, our team will be all ready to welcome you. You will spend numerous nights here acclimatizing. Just before we begin our main push towards the Everest summit, a local monk will do a puja ceremony for our successful climbing.
Everest South Col route: climbing strategy
Everest Base Camp: 5,364 m/17,598 ft
You will spend the longest time at the Everest Base Camp to acclimatize. We will make our permanent camp here for the expedition. The weather mostly remains stable at the base camp. EBC is a glacier. We may see our tents stir as the ice moves and melts, but it will not affect us in any way.
The area is surrounded by Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, and the Khumbu Icefall. In the peak climbing season, the base camp is packed with tents and mountaineers. The environment is quite bustling at the same time quite soothing.
Camp I: 5,900 m/19,357 ft
From the Everest Base Camp to Camp I, we will cross the infamous Khumbu Icefall. It is one of the most specialized sections on the southern side of Mount Everest. The Khumbu Icefall is 2,000 ft moving ice with deep chasms, transcending serac, and torrential slides off Everest's west shoulder. During the climbing period, we will do a few climbing rotations to Camp I to acclimatize.
Camp II: 6,400 m/20,997 ft
Camp II is located at the lower part of the west edge in a side moraine. It is a protected area by the huge face of Lhotse. All mountaineers set their primary camp here for the climbing duration. There are sleeping tents, kitchen tents, dining tents, and washroom tents. Above the EBC, Camp II is the central place that supports the journey towards Camp II and beyond. This is the second place where we will spend a long time after the base camp.
Camp III: 7,100 m/23,294 ft
From Camp II to Camp III, the route is tricky, and the high altitude shows its effect on the climbers. We are yet not using supplemental oxygen. The route is steep and icy. We will use fixed ropes.
The slopes can range from 30 to 45 degrees. It is a long climb from Camp II to Camp III. We are most likely to spend two nights at Camp III for acclimatization before pushing further toward the summit.
South Col: 8,000 m/26,247 ft
South Col is what we call the moon, with Everest summit on the north and the Lhotse summit on the south. This is our last camp before the summit and the most challenging section of the entire expedition. We don't use supplemental oxygen while climbing to South Col.
Leaving Camp III, we will navigate two rock sections called the Yellow Band and Geneva Spur. The Yellow Band is an inter-layer of marble, phyllite, semi schist rock. Geneva Spur is an anvil-shaped rib of black stone.
We will cross both these sections using fixed ropes. South Col and above this place is also known as the death zone. Because of low oxygen levels, thin air, and exposure to cold, your body and mind will be most challenged from here onwards.
Mount Everest Summit: 8,848.8 m/29,031 ft
From South Col, we will walk up to the summit. We will begin climbing around 1:00 AM using our headlamps. The entire route will be fixed with the ropes. On the summit day, we will climb up and down for 9 to 13 hours. Our lead guide will find the best summit window, and we will follow home to the top of Mt. Everest.
Now, on the way, we have to cross the Balcony, the Hillary Step, and the south summit before reaching the central panel. The climbing route to the true summit is all snow slopes. At this point, the adrenaline is what keeps us moving.
After reaching the summit, we will take a couple of pictures, enjoy the view, and soon begin descending to Camp II. From here, we will further descend to the base camp and return to Lukla. The support crew will help us clean the camps before we leave them.
Base Camp facilities with Moon Himalaya Adventure
We, Moon Himalaya Adventure, offer the best base camp service for our climbers. With our well-maintained and regularly updated tents, equipment, and interior, we make sure our climbers get the highest level of comfort and rest during their time at the Everest Base Camp.
We believe the better you rest at the base camp, the better you will perform on the mountains, so everything is thoughtfully planned and designed.
We use the best alpine tents. Our climbers and supporting team get spacious tents for dining and sleeping at the base. Compared to the usual tents provided by other expedition companies in Nepal, our tents are basically luxury.
To make it more homely, we line the floors with alpine carpets and decorate the space with tiny bits and bubs. All the sleeping tents will have bright LED lights, a chair, and comfortable bedding with electric liners, soft pillows, and high-quality blankets. It is nothing less than a hotel room at the base camp.
Our dining tent is also well-insulated and fully carpeted. This is also our common area where you will have briefings, parties, and socializing time. We also have a lounge area where we can watch movies on the projected full-sized screen and enjoy our time catching up with the team.
