TRIP OVERVIEW

Climbing Mount Everest from the south side in Nepal is the most popular route used by mountaineers.

From base camp, climbers gradually ascend through several high camps across the Khumbu Icefall, Western Cwm, Lhotse Face, and South Col before making the final summit push to the top of the world at 8,848.86 meters.
