Mt. Everest Expedition - North Col (Tibet)
50+
Trip Days
The key to any successful high altitude adventure is acclimatisation....”Time spent on acclimatisation is never wasted”. And this is particularly true when attempting Mt. Everest by the North Col, North Ridge route. Unlike the Nepal side, there is no steady walk-in, you drive all the way to Base Camp at 5,150m. We now add additional acclimatisation days in Lhasa and along the way for those arriving by air. And similar acclimatisation days for those traveling overland. The seeds of a successful Everest expedition are sewn long before you reach the mountain.

Overview
The ascent to the summit of Everest via Tibet and the North Col is one of the most challenging and rewarding mountaineering experiences in the world. We offer climbs up to and up the Mt. Everest Expedition North Col. Also, expeditions to the adjoining peak of Lhakpa Ri which offers a great opportunity for less experienced climbers as it one of the most accessible peaks above 7000 meters in the world.
Our team of Sherpas are amongst the best in the Himalayas and include direct relatives of the Sherpas who assisted the first Western expeditions on Everest and other peaks. So levels of experience, knowledge and the chance of a successful ascent are all very high.
