Climb Everest
Mount Everest, the towering giant of the Himalayas, stands tall as the highest peak on Earth at an awe-inspiring 8848.48 meters (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.

GUIDING TEAM
Our team, led by founder Bisesh and composed of selected climbing team members who have been climbing together for the past 7 years, will be responsible for strategizing, planning, organizing, and climbing Mount Everest. Our team is well-known for prioritizing the well-being of our clients above all else. Our guides are certified professionals who are trained and assessed by the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA) and the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). They are highly skilled and competent, and their role is to provide a dedicated level of security to you during the expedition. Their experience is based on years of firsthand experience on the mountain and leading numerous expeditions with Namas teams. Our team consists of both international and local members, and we believe that the knowledge and understanding of both worlds brings valuable insights when working together to develop effective strategies and backup contingency plans in case of setbacks during our expedition. These are world-class climbers and guides who are knowledgeable, kind, strong, experienced, respectful, and highly proficient. We provide a 1:1 Sherpa/Guide ratio, which results in more support and backup for your summit attempt and, therefore, a greater safety margin and increased chance of success.
This extensive organizational and logistical expertise, combined with a commitment to providing the best possible services to ensure safety and success, makes Namas Expedition the premier guiding company on Mount Everest. All members of the team will have an equal opportunity and dedicated support for safely climbing to the summit and returning to base camp, as well as the option to climb Lhotse if desired. Ensuring that our clients have a positive experience is a top priority, and our climbers can be assured of a great time throughout the expedition. You may even want to join our Sherpa dance group - not only are they skilled at guiding and taking care of you, but they are also known for their impressive dance moves. We may even have a competition
Namas Expedition is a premier guiding company on Mount Everest, known for its commitment to safety and success. Our team of experienced guides and climbers is dedicated to providing the best possible services and support to ensure the success of our clients on the mountain. With a focus on teamwork and a relaxed atmosphere, we strive to create an environment that gives our clients the best chance of reaching the summit. To qualify for our program, climbers must have a strong base of experience and proven climbing skills. If you have any questions about your eligibility, we encourage you to reach out to us for a discussion.
-
At Namas Expedition we are not focused on being the biggest or most glamorous expedition team. Our focus and priorities are simple.
Everest summit success with high safety standards and creating a fun and memorable climbing experience.
Being a beacon for Responsible, Ethical, and Sustainable expedition operator
Assembling and recruiting the best climbing guide leaders
-
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

At NAMAS Adventure, we start by understanding your aspirations and goals. From your first conversation with our expert team, we provide personalized recommendation tailored to your interests.

We then work closely with you to plan and prepare every detail—from gear selection and training advice to arranging insurance, permits, and logistics.
2. Preparing for the Journey
As your expedition date approaches, we’ll help you finalize all preparations. This includes collecting the final balance payment (typically due 60-90 days before your trip), ensuring all necessary documents are in order, and addressing any remaining questions. Our team is available via email or phone calls to make sure you’re fully prepared and confident for the adventure ahead.
3. On-Expedition Support
Arrive at your destination ready to begin! From pre-expedition briefings and gear checks to the full support of our experienced guides and ground team during your climb, we’re here to ensure everything runs smoothly. With flexibility to adapt to any changes or needs, we’re committed to making your adventure seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable
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. -
It varies by camp movement and conditions, but a normal climbing day is typically around 6 hours.
Summit-window days are longer because you must climb and descend to a safer camp in the same push. That’s where fatigue, cold, and judgement get tested.
-
Summit day is the hardest day of the expedition.
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 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.
-
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.

-
For Everest, we run 1:1 Sherpa guiding for climbers, plus expedition leadership and support staff scaled to team size and conditions.
-
Yes, it can be arranged depending on logistics. Email us and we’ll advise what’s 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
-
Insurance is mandatory. You need coverage for:
high-altitude mountaineering
medical treatment
rescue/evacuation
trip interruption/cancellation (strongly recommended)
Evacuation insurance is non-negotiable.
Trip cancellation insurance protects your investment if injury, illness, or unforeseen life events force you to cancel. -
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
