Our Climbing mainly starts from the base camp on the north of Khumbu glacier, where all the climbers gather with lots of excitement and passion for the preparation of expedition to conquer the highest peak. Team puts 4 camps via south ridge situating base camp at the height of 5300m, Camp-1 at 5900m, Camp-2 at 6200m to 6400m, Camp-3 at 7300m and finally the last camp i.e. Camp-4 take place at the height of 7925m on South Col. Named as “The Khumbu Ice Fall” situated between the Base Camp and the Camp-1 which is the most dangerous part of the climb during the entire journey. Here Ice Fall Doctorset the climbing route through the icefall. Installation of ladders across crevasses along Seracs and ice block makes possible to climb the Khumbu Ice Fall in the efficient way.

Description

The Mount Everest also known as Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolongma in China of the height of 8848m (29,029ft) above sea level is the highest peak in the world. Located at the Khumbu Region of Solukhumbu District in Nepal Mount Everest massive includes neighbor peaks Lhotse 8,516 m (27,940 ft), Nuptse 7,855 m (25,771 ft) and Changtse 7,580 m (24,870 ft) and the height of its base camp is 5300m (18000ft). Firstly, conquered by the Sir Edmond Hillary and Late Tenzing Norge Sherpa, this giant peak has climbed by thousands of climbers till the date.

The Mt. Everest expedition which has cancelled twice; once in 2014 due to the an avalanche in Khumbu Ice Fall and once in 2015 following the avalanches triggered by the massive Earthquake, on April 25.
The cancellations are likely to have an impact on the impoverished Himalayan country’s economy. With the great challenges and hardship in this year (2016) our company Sherpa Khangri Outdoor Ptv. Ltd is organizing the expedition to the top of Mt. Everest.

Useful Info

Fitness
Climbing at and above 8,000 meters is inherently dangerous and is not the place to be learning mountaineering and climbing skills. Any expedition that goes to 8,000m requires a very high level of aerobic fitness. Being fit will certainly improve your chances of reaching your chosen summit. Your resting heart rate should be below 60 but preferably below 50. You should be able to run 50km on flat ground in approximately6 hours. Endurance and the ability to carry a heavy pack of up to 25kg is more important than sprint ability.
In order to get ready for this challenge, you need to be trained at least for about 8 to 12 months to prepare yourself as strong candidate. You can go to fitness center every morning for about 2 hours, do hiking every weekend with increasing weights on your pack (i.e. 10kg, 15kg, 20 kg, and up to 25kg), manage some time for cycling for couple of hours up to 3 or 4 times a week. On the summit push, extra effort is required walking on ice and climbing up to 12 – 16 hours.

Experience
Himalaya Message Adventure strongly suggest that you must climb a number of 6,000m peaks in order to gain mountaineering proficiency and also undertake a trip to one of the 7,000m peak or one of the technically difficult 6000m peaks i.e. Mt. Amadablam, or similar, where you experience expedition camping, higher altitude, and dealing with the cold. Now to get more familiar with 8,000m altitude and extreme cold temperature, we highly recommend our clients to climb one of our expedition to 8000m mountains, i.e. Mt. Cho Oyu (8201m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163m) or any other over 8,000m mountain, where working with Sherpas, the use of fixed ropes and oxygen equipment are pretty much associated with. With this experience on your side, you will be ready to attempt the Mt. Everest. If you do so, our experience shows that those who have done expedition with us have significantly increased the success rates. If you are fit and motivated but lacked technical climbing skills or suitable experience, we have options to keep you safe and get you high. This might be a personal Sherpa or a pre-trip training course.

You must have well knowledge about the usage of mountaineering gears, good with rock climbing and ice climbing, will increase the chances of reaching the summit and also the previous mountaineering experiences is mandatory but doesn’t really require any high level of technical experience.
