“Because it's there" Quoted Sir Edmund Hillary
Mount Everest is the highest mountain on earth, first climed in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. It arises exactly on the borderline of Nepal and Tibet (27°59’ North latitude, 86°55’ East longitudes) in the southern part of Asia. The mountain has several different names. The most common Sherpa name "Chomolungma" which means “Goddess Mother of the World” or “Goddess of the Valley.” The Nepali name is "Sagarmatha" which means “Peak of Heaven.” The later christian name is "Mount Everest" after Sir George Everest.

To safely climb Everest we will climb up and down the icefall to acclimatize further. There are 4 camps on our way to the summit. Base Camp (5,300 to 5500m), Camp 1, (6,098m), Camp 2 (6,400 to 6500m), Camp 3 (7,300 to 7,500m) and Camp 4 (7970 m).
