Mount Everest Expedition

Mt. Everest Expedition - 57 days of expedition towards the peak of Mount Everest (8848m).

Mount Everest Expedition, the greatest challenge, is more than the famous mountain on earth. It has unique beauty, mystery and mood. Successful historical Everest Expeditions leaves one with the sense of most proud and adventurous person on Earth. Mt. Everest's local names give you a sense of how the mountain commands respect from all who see her. The Nepali name, Sagarmatha, means "head touching the sky" and in Sherpa, Chomolungma, meaning "Mother Goddess of the world.

The South Col route on the Nepalese side of Mt. Everest is the way taken by Sir Edmund Hillary and Late Tenzing Norgay Sherpa while climbing Everest, who successfully climbed the top in 29 May 1953 registering their names as a Hero of the adventure world. Climbing Everest expedition has been successfully organised and climbed many times since then, but this should not lull prospective Everest climbers into complacency. Everest is a deadly mountain. Noting this, one cannot approach the mountain with anything but a serious determination and focused mountaineering attitude.
