Mt. Everest Expedition - South

8849 m

Climbing Mount Everest known as the ultimate mountaineering achievement in mountaineering society. The mountain is targeted to summit attempts every year. Everest can be climbed both from the southern side in Nepal and the northern side Tibet. After the Cultural Revolution in the 1950s, China closed Tibetan borders to outsiders, and Nepal began welcoming foreigners to the Everest region. Since then, the southern approach to the mountain via Khumbu Valley has become popular among climbers. Everest has fascinated mountaineers all over the world since European climbers discovered Everest when Tibet was opened to outsiders in the 1920s. Mount Everest was first summited in 1953 by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary via the South Col. While climbing Mt. Everest is the opportunity of a lifetime, expeditions encounter many obstacles including high altitude, harsh weather conditions, and sheer exhaustion. Snow Leopard Trek strives to conduct the best expedition by putting high importance and priority on the safety aspects of the climb. We believe that our planning, logistics, staffing and experience coupled with your enthusiasm, patience, and perseverance would help you achieve your lifetime dream.
