Everest Expedition with Overland Trek Nepal is perhaps the best adventure you will ever experience in your life. Trekking in Nepal, Peak climbing in Nepal, and Expedition in Nepal are three different things. Mt. Everest (8848.86m) is at the top of the world. Climbing Mt. Everest is the most physically and mentally challenging thing in Nepal. It is the dream of every climber around the globe to reach the top of Mt. Everest. You can climb Everest from two sides. One is from Nepal (south) and the other is from Tibet (North). The southern side is the best route for climbing. The trip starts thrilling flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Then, the trail follows up toward base camp via Namche, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche. Similarly, you will walk around Gorakshep and Kala Patthar before heading to another camp. The base camp lies at a height of 5364 meters. Likewise, you will see beautiful views of Pumori, Nuptse, Lhotse, etc. from the base camp. You will have 4 camps before you reach the top of Everest. The trekking part up the base camp is quite easy. However, when you start to walk higher, the route starts getting difficult. The climbing period between these camps is around 40-50 days.

Everest Expedition Difficulties

Sometimes even experienced climbers fail to make it to the top. Therefore, you need to prepare step by step for this expedition. You can prepare for the Everest summit by doing Everest Base Camp Trek. We suggest every climber have a climbing experience first.
Best time to climb Mt. Everest
For regular climbers, there is always time to do it. However, there is always the right time to do difficult things like climbing peaks. From Trekking to peak climbing in Nepal, the spring season is the best time to do it. In the spring the temperature is very stable. Also, if you are not a big fan of cold then this is the right time to do it. During the winter season, the trail is full of snow and the temperature is very cold. Whereas, in the summer heavy rains can block the trekking trails. That’s why we organize every expedition from April and end in late May.
