Climatic Conditions and Risks in the Mount Everest Region
It is a well-known fact that Mt. Everest pridely stands at an elevation of 8848.86 m above sea level, where the air is thin with very low levels of oxygen that can result in serious altitude sicknesses. The temperatures are at extremes, recorded as low as -62 degrees Celsius offering a serious challenge to the climbers who eyed to stand at its Everest crest. The winds blow at the speed of 285km/hr and can influence the movement of snow and ice that can result in huge avalanches. The Himalayas have the 3rd highest concentration of ice on the whole planet making it extremely cold that no vegetation survives in the winter season even in the lower parts. So, it is very necessary to be prepared for the extreme conditions while on this expedition to Mt. Everest. But, our superb team of Sherpas will make your Expedition to Everest a luxurious one.

After staying overnight at Camp 1, we gradually ascend towards Camp 2 that is set up at 6400metres. The climb includes crossing the Western CWM, a gently rising valley that is marked by huge crevasses in the center preventing direct access to the upper part of the CWM.

This climb helps your body adjust to the altitude and prepares you for the final push to the summit.
It is necessary to provide our body with some rest after continuous climbing and mountaineering. So, after an overnight’s rest at Camp II, we will descend to the Base Camp, at a much lower altitude. These ascents and descents are a way of acclimatizing ourselves in the Himalayas and training to climb up to Camp IV and above the Death Zone. We will rest overnight at the Base Camp.

As you gain altitude, the air becomes thinner, making each step harder. The trail takes you through rocky and icy terrain, requiring focus and careful footing. Once you reach Camp II, you’ll rest and let your body adjust to the higher elevation before continuing your climb.
A rest day at Everest Camp II is an important chance to recover and adjust to the high altitude. You can relax, eat well and hydrate while your body gets used to the thinner air.

We request everyone to remain careful and stick with the team as well as communicate often. We will spend our night in Camp III in a warm tented Camp.
After Camp III, we ascend to Camp IV at 8000m. This is also the divergent point for climbers of Lhotse and Everest. The area above this is called the Death Zone and requires extreme caution and carefulness. We will keep ourselves warm and safe. A day’s rest has been allocated for Camp IV before the summit Day. We will monitor the weather conditions before summiting Everest.
A spare day at Everest Camp IV is planned in case bad weather delays the climb. This extra day lets you wait safely at the high camp without rushing. You can rest, eat, and stay warm while keeping an eye on weather updates. Being patient here is important to ensure a safe and successful summit when conditions improve.
This day is the day when our hard work, patience, endurance comes into reality. We will finally reach the top of the World. We start as early as midnight so that we reach the top at dawn to witness the glorious sunrise from behind the great mountain ranges. We spend some unforgettable moments on the highest point on Earth, take some photographs, and gradually descend to Camp IIIor Camp II to rest overnight. The climbers are only allowed to stay at the summit point for 15-20 minutes for the safety and following the climbing guidelines
The descent from Everest Camp IV down to Camp II is a long but welcome relief after spending time at high altitude. The air feels thicker as you go lower, making breathing easier. The trail can be steep and rocky, so you’ll move carefully. Once at Camp II, you can rest, rehydrate, and recover before continuing your journey down the mountain.
After your climb, descending to Base Camp is a chance to relax and reflect on your journey. At Base Camp, you’ll help clean up the area by packing out any trash and gear left behind. Keeping Base Camp clean is important to protect the beautiful environment and show respect for the mountains that made your adventure possible. It’s a meaningful way to finish your expedition.
