Everest Expedition(8850M) (60 Days Package Trip)

Mount Everest(8850m) is the highest mountain in the Earth. It is known by the Nepali name Sagarmatha (Highest above the ocean) and Tibetan name Chomolongmo (Goddess Mother of the Snows).

Adventurous spirits have always been fascinated by what is also called "The Third Pole."  Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary became the first persons to stand on top of the world on 29 May 1953.  Since then there have been other many notable ascents to the summit.

Since the first successful ascent, many other individuals have hunted to be the first at various other activities on Everest, including many alternative routes on both the north and south sides. Reinhold Messner has climbed Everest twice without oxygen, once in four days. He is also the first to climb Everest singly, which he did in 1980. Ten years earlier, Yuichiro Miura of Japan had been the first person to descend the mountain on skis. In 1975, Junko Tabei, also of Japan, was the first woman to climb Everest. The first disabled person to attempt Everest was American Tom Whittaker, who climbed with a prosthetic leg to 24,000 feet in 1989, 28,000 feet in 1995, and finally reached the summit in 1998. The record for most ascents belongs to Apa Sherpa, who has reached the summit 18 times. Overall, more than 600 climbers from 20 countries have climbed to the summit by various routes from both north and south. Climbers aged have ranged from 16 years to seventy. At least 100 people have perished, most commonly by avalanches, falls in crevasses, cold and effect of thin air.

Treks to Everest base camp are becoming increasingly popular on both the north and south sides of the mountain. On the north side, a Buddhist monastery stands at the foot of the Rongbuk Glacier, beneath Everests spectacular north face. The monastery is one of two whose locations were selected specifically to allow religious contemplation of the great peak. The other is the Tengboche Monastery in Nepal.
