Climb Everest
Mount Everest, the towering giant of the Himalayas, stands tall as the highest peak on Earth at an awe-inspiring 8848.48meters (29,030 feet). Nestled on the border between Nepal and Tibet, this behemoth of a mountain is revered as the Mother Goddess by the Nepalese and Sherpas, who call her Sagarmatha, and the Tibetans, who refer to her as Chomolungma. Since the first British expedition set out in 1921, Mount Everest has beckoned adventurers from all corners of the globe, challenging them to scale her mighty heights. And on May 29, 1953, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal and Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand achieved the unimaginable, making the first successful ascent to the summit.
Increase your chances of a successful Everest climb by following a systematic approach rooted in experience, planning, skill, persistence, and training. At Namas Expedition, our skilled strategists adopt a holistic view of the climbing process, collaborating with you to create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs and goals.

Meet Your Guides
Our crew is led by founder Bisesh and features veteran climbers who have jointly tackled several peak expeditions together for seven years. Our team has a holistically crafted climbing strategy to handle the logistics of climbing Mount Everest while putting your safety above everything else. The team of expert climbers from NAMAS are certified professionals trained by the IFMGA and the NMA to ensure highest degree of success. These certified experts carry serious mountain expertise to keep you secure in every section. The blend of international and local mountaineers allows our team to carve the best strategies and backup plans during the summit period. The truly global team of our guides are strong, respectful, and highly proficient at high altitude.
We run a one-to-one Sherpa ratio for each climber to massively increase your safety margin and improve your chances to reach the summit. The logistical capability of the guides and sherpas with multiple ascents makes us a top tier operator on the mountain. Everyone gets dedicated support to reach the summit and return safely, and you can even add a Lhotse climb with our team if you have the energy.
Reach out to our team if you have any queries regarding experience, team members and difficulty of the climb
-
Our goal at NAMAS is to avoid being the biggest or flashiest expedition team but towards simple and straight forward.
We strive to ensure the highest degree of safety in Everest summits while making the climb fun and memorable.
We aim to be the lead expedition operator dedicated towards responsible, ethical, and sustainable climbing expedition of the mountains.
We hire the absolute best team of certified climbing professionals in our team
-
The problem of waste accumulation in the mountains is a pressing concern that has been largely overlooked for too long. At Namas Adventure, we are committed to taking action to address this issue head-on. In an effort to reduce the amount of waste left behind by expeditions at high camps, we will have dedicated high-altitude porters who will bring down waste from Camps 1 and 2 to Base Camp. Our client-leading Sherpa team will also assist in bringing down waste from Camps 3 and 4 to Camp 2 during rotation and while the summit team descends.
Once the waste has been brought down to Base Camp, it will be properly sealed and transported via yak to a designated dump site in the valley. We believe that it is our moral duty, as operators of expeditions in the mountains, to protect and preserve these environments for future generations. That is why we are implementing these tactics and are committed to building on our sustainable practices. The pollution of our mountains and the disregard for the waste left behind is a concern that should be shared by all. Together, we can work towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for the mountains we love
The Planning Process
Step 1 Initial Inquiry
We start by enquiring about your mountain goals. It lets our experts give you recommendations based on the specific climbing goals you want to achieve. Once we pick the right climb, we request a deposit to book in your spot for the expedition. Afterwards, we help you plan your gear, training, insurance, and vital permits.
Step 2 Preparing for the Journey
As your expedition date gets closer, we work with you to confirm all the final details. Your remaining payment is usually due 60–90 days before departure. We take care of all the necessary paperwork and submit it to the relevant authorities on your behalf. Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have. We stay in regular contact by email or phone so you feel fully prepared and confident before you travel.
Step 3 Support during the expedition
When you arrive, we get everything ready to begin the expedition. We start with a full briefing and gear check to make sure you are safe and well-equipped from day one. Our guides and support team take care of all daily logistics, and adjust plans based on the weather and trail conditions to keep you safe at all times. Our goal is to make your expedition safe, smooth, and enjoyable so that you can focus on the climb and make the most of your time in the mountains.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Spring (April–May).
This is the prime season on Everest’s Nepal side because the route is typically established, weather windows are most consistent, and summit opportunities are concentrated into short periods. Plan early and keep your schedule flexible. -
We climb the standard South Col route on the Nepal side. Everest is an 8,000m+ Death Zone expedition, and success depends on discipline—not bravado.
Our camp strategy follows the classic progression:
Base Camp
Camp 1
Camp 2
Camp 3
Camp 4 (South Col)
Summit Push
Our operating principle:
Move efficiently. Protect energy. Minimize mistakes.
Fixed lines are in place along the standard route during the season, and our team ensures you move correctly on those systems—especially on complex transitions and in the high-risk zones. -
A Normal Climbing day in the mountains is generally six-hours-long depending on weather. Summit push days are much longer because you must cross difficult mountain sections and get down safely to the camp. Summit days are hard and it tests your will, fitness, fatigue and judgement capability.
-
It’s the toughest day of the entire trip.
From South Col (Camp 4), the standard line is:
South Ridge → South Summit → Cornice Traverse → Hillary Step area → SummitExpect:
A midnight start
9 - 11 hrs hours up (conditions and pace dependent)
5–6 hours down, typically returning to Camp 2 (or a safer camp based on team status and conditions)
This is not a “summit and celebrate” day. It’s a long operational day where your ability to keep moving safely matters more than motivation.
-
Yes. We build enough contingency so we can wait for the right summit window and adapt to:
weather shifts
route delays
stronger secondary windows
We strongly recommend flexible return flights. Everest punishes rigid timelines—because rigid timelines create pressure, and pressure creates bad decisions.
-
We operate with structured leadership and tight ratios:
Lead guide: IFMGA or NMA-certified leadership standard
Western IFMGA guide: available upon request (additional cost)
Sherpa ratio: 1:1 Sherpa-to-client
Sherpas trained through the Khumbu system (NNMGA / Khumbu Climbing Center pathway)
English: intermediate to excellent across leadership and key Sherpa staff—clear enough for instruction and safety communication under stress
Group size: We can operate up to 12 depending on the departure structure, but the goal is to keep teams controlled. Most high-performing Everest teams function best when they’re tighter, more disciplined, and operationally clean.
-
Most climbers tip the team when the trip ends. Your package includes a one thousand dollar pool that we split among the drivers, porters, cooks, and base camp staff. Many climbers also leave behind good gear or buy a round of dinner as parting gifts to the team. We suggest you to tip an extra bonus of fifteen hundred dollars or more for your personal Sherpa. The additional personal tip to sherpa guides is the norm of the climbing circle and expected from the climbers.
-
You should have:
Prior high-altitude experience at several 4000M - 6,500m+
7000M+ at least one of any grades and atleast one lower 8000M
Strong self-management at altitude (sleep, hydration, nutrition, pacing)
Solid rope and mountain systems competence
Key technical requirements:
Abseiling / rappelling (multi-pitch experience is a major advantage)
Movement on varied terrain: slabs, steeper rock, scrambling
Crampons + ice axe competence, including confident descending
Self-arrest fundamentals and control on steep snow/ice
Altitude experience: you must know how your body reacts and how to manage it under fatigue
Everest is supported—but you are not carried. If you cannot manage your own systems, altitude will expose you.
-
Everest is a serious objective at the start of the Death Zone. The deciding factor is not your ambition—it’s whether your preparation matches your goal.
You’re a fit for Everest now if:
you have real high-altitude experience
you can operate calmly under stress
you can follow systems precisely even when exhausted
you can stay consistent with food, hydration, layers, and gear checks
If you’re unsure, our team can assess your experience and map a realistic progression using our grading / roadmap approach. The goal is simple: climb the right mountain at the right time—so you come home.

-
Most guests tip at the end of the expedition.
Your booking includes a $1,000 tip pool, distributed fairly among drivers, porters, assistant guides, kitchen, and support team.
Many guests also choose to donate usable gear (jackets, poles, gloves, hats) or host a final team dinner.
Suggested summit bonus: $1,500+ for your 1:1 Sherpa upon a successful summit (or significant high-point attempt), depending on performance, effort, and overall arrangement.

-
For Everest, we run 1:1 Sherpa guiding for climbers, plus expedition leadership and support staff scaled to team size and conditions.
-
Yes, we can set that up depending on the condition. Email us and we’ll advise a realistic for your program.
-
We allow 60kg personal weight for the expedition.
-
You need to be in excellent shape. Everest is semi-technical but relentlessly physical—especially over weeks.
Expect to:
carry your personal kit during rotations
move efficiently for hours on snow/ice and fixed lines
recover consistently across a long expedition timeline
-
We recommend a 6–12 month training block that includes:
endurance base (long steady work)
strength (legs + trunk + posterior chain)
uphill carries with pack weight
bouldering / rope climbing sessions
basic ice climbing / mountaineering course (crampons, axe, rope systems)
prior 6,500m+ experience (non-negotiable for most climbers)
If you are a true beginner, you should not “jump” to Everest. Use a structured progression (your Road to Everest pathway) to build capability step-by-step.
-
During rotations, packs are typically 10-15kgs (40–55lb) depending on the stage of the expedition and what you’re carrying that day.
-
Kathmandu (Arrival): Marriot (Signature service + Classic PLUS) or Mulberry (Classic program)
On the trek, we use high-quality lodges/tea houses available in each village. On the mountain:
tents are typically shared (2-person)
personal Base Camp tents can be arranged on request (additional cost)
-
Lodges often offer hot showers and laundry for a fee
At Base Camp we set up wash/shower systems where possible, with hot water access based on logistics
-
Our expeditions are all-inclusive for meals during the program (breakfast/lunch/dinner + hot drinks). We can accommodate dietary requirements if informed in advance.
Expect:
lodge days: menu-based meals (Dal Bhat, soups, pasta, rice, etc.)
expedition days: higher-calorie Base Camp meals + expedition food higher up (snacks, hydration tabs, freeze-dried options)
-
Everest climbers are provided 5 - 12 bottles of supplemental oxygen. Additional bottles can be arranged upon request (extra cost). We also carry oxygen as medical backup.
Insurance, Visa
-
Mountain climbing travel insurance is required for the expedition and your policy must cover high altitude climbing, medical care, and helicopter rescues. You cannot avoid the helicopter rescue or evacuation coverage because it is mandatory. We also highly suggest trip cancellation insurance to protect your money if you have to bail out of the trip and cancel it due to unforeseen reasons.
-
Fly into Kathmandu. Most nationalities can obtain a Nepal visa on arrival depending on current requirements and duration. Your passport must have sufficient validity.
-
Once you enquire/confirm, we provide the full clothing and equipment list and help you validate what you already own. Yes—if it’s on the list, it’s there for a reason.
-
Satellite phone access is available (usage charged per minute)
Base Camp connectivity varies; we use dedicated systems for weather and dispatches
Charging is via solar and battery stations; expedition comms are always priority
