About Expedition

Mt. Everest is world's highest peak 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above the sea level and lies on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, made the first successful summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. This historic climb remains one of the most celebrated achievements in mountaineering. Mount Everest continues to attract climbers from around the world, each hoping to reach the summit and experience the grandeur of the world's highest point. In Nepal, the mountain is called Sagarmatha (सगरमाथा), meaning "Forehead in the Sky. "In Tibet, it is known as Chomolungma (ཇོ་མོ་ལོང་མ), meaning "Goddess Mother of the World." The mountain was named Mount Everest in 1865 by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India, after Sir George Everest, his predecessor. Everest was not involved with the mountain but was honored for his contributions to the Great Trigonometric Survey of India.

Spring (April-May): This is the primary climbing season, as the weather is relatively stable, and temperatures are less harsh.

Autumn (September-October): The secondary season is less crowded but riskier due to harsher weather conditions.

Mount Lhotse 8,516 meters (27,939 feet) above sea level is the fourth highest mountain in the world, located in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It is often considered to be part of the Everest massif due to its proximity to Mount Everest, and it shares much of its climbing route with Everest.The name "Lhotse" comes from the Tibetan word "Lho" (meaning "south") and "Tse" (meaning "peak"). Thus, Lhotse translates to "South Peak," which is a reference to its location south of Everest.

Lhotse was first successfully summited on May 18, 1956, by a Swiss team led by Ernst Reiss and Fritz Luchsinger. The climbers ascended via the Lhotse Face, the steep, icy wall that forms much of the mountain's southern face.While it’s not as famous as Everest, Lhotse is considered a highly prestigious mountain to summit due to its extreme height and the technical challenges it presents. Many climbers who ascend Everest also make an attempt on Lhotse, often due to its proximity and shared route.

Spring (April-May): This is the primary climbing season for both Everest and Lhotse. The weather is relatively stable during this period, and the conditions are more favorable for summiting.

Autumn (September-October): Fewer climbers attempt Lhotse in the autumn season due to more unpredictable weather and harsher conditions.
