"Once in their lifetime, every person should journey to a place where legends live, where everything is bigger than life. For me, Everest has always represented nature at its most powerful, most awe-inspiring, most unconquerable. ---An American Mountain Climber"

Being the tallest mountain peak in the world, Mount Everest has been the most cherished destination and also a challenge for mountain climbers across the world. Every year, thousands of foreign trekkers come to Nepal for Everest Expedition. Everest Expedition can be done both from the Southern side that is in Nepal and Northern side that lies in Tibet. After 1950, China closed the Tibet border of the Everest to the outsiders and from then on Nepal began welcoming foreigners to the Everest Region. After that, the southern route to the mountains via Khumbu Valley has become immensely popular among the climbers. Mount Everest was first scaled in 1953 by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary from the South Col. Climbing Mt. Everest certainly is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
However, mountaineers during the Everest Expedition have to come across many seen and unseen obstacles and of course, the high altitude, inclement weather conditions and even exhaustion. Mount Everest  has attracted and fascinated so many mountaineers across the world as a result of which, battalions visit us every year. As the itinerary is quite a long one and as takes almost two months for the entire expedition, Everest climbers are suggested to come prepared both physically and mentally. As much it requires physical stamina and endurance to climb the Everest, it also requires enough patience and mental strength to actually get to the top of the world’s tallest peak and return safely. However, the expedition to the top of the Everest will undoubtedly be the most thrilling experience you will ever gain in your life, and something you will preserve in your memories for the rest of your lives.
