Everest & Lhotse Expedition 2025
As the Base Camp (5300m) is our home away from home while on the mountain. Numerous international teams gather here before and at the end of their climb. It lies at entrance to the Khumbu Ice Fall (18000ft-21000ft), a spectacular but treacherous horror- chamber of bottomless crevasses, seracs and ice blocks, which crossed with the aid of fixed ropes and aluminums ladders leads to Camp-I, THE SILENT VALLEY’ (20000FT 21000FT). This is a vast, flat area of endless snow, deep crevasse and mountain walls, frequently washed by avalanches.
Camp 2 (21300ft) marked by a rocky Patch at the foot of the icy Lhotse wall. Camp-III, Lhotse Wall (23000 ft- 26000ft). This is a 4000ft high ice wall, which climbed using fixed ropes. It leads on to camp-III, a narrow platform placed right out of the wall. A traverse then leaves to the Yellow Band, a rocky section. From this point onwards, you will need oxygen cylinders. You will reach the Camp IV (7,910m) after just crossing 8000m elevations. This point also known as the Death Zone.
Mt. Lhotse is the 4th highest mountain after Everest, K2 and Kanchenjunga. It is one of the most impressive mountains to climb. It climbed from the west face. The way to Everest and Lhotse is same till 7800m. This tried and tested itinerary informed by decades of mountaineering experience.
As with all adventurous activities of this type however, circumstances may arise where Everest Expeditions Nepal is forced to make alterations, possibly at short notice. While making every effort to adhere to this published schedule, we kindly ask for your patience if the weather, or other naturally occurring circumstances, intervene.
The Cost of the Everest and Lhotse Expedition 2025 is $52000 Per Person.

Trip Notes
Please do remember these things.
Trekking and mountain climbing in the Himalayas are highly dependent on weather conditions. We try to schedule our trips at the most favorable time but in case of extreme scenarios, the roadways may be blocked. In cases as such, we would like to notify you that except for the total number of days in the itinerary section, expenses of other extra days shall be borne by the client himself/herself. However, Everest Expeditions Nepal will make necessary arrangements for the accommodation of porters and guides.
Also, Everest Expeditions Nepal shall not be liable for any compensation for losses due to missed International Flights but we will surely help to make necessary arrangements to minimize your loss. To avoid missing flights, we suggest keeping some flexible time frames before trip departure and after trip departure.
Also be notified that as we will be traveling in remote areas with extreme climatic conditions and geography where trails can be distorted at times, we might need to adjust our itineraries as required. But we assure you that the quality of service shall not be compromised at any cost.
