The Mount Everest Expedition 2026 with Altinepal Treks is the ultimate Himalayan challenge, designed for experienced climbers seeking to stand on the highest point on Earth. This carefully structured 45-day expedition follows the legendary South Col route, combining time-tested acclimatization strategies, professional logistics, and high-level safety standards.
Your journey begins in Kathmandu, where final preparations and official briefings set the foundation for success. A scenic flight to Lukla introduces the Khumbu region, followed by a gradual trek through Sherpa heartland villages such as Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Dingboche. These days allow proper acclimatization while immersing you in Himalayan culture and Buddhist traditions.
Reaching Everest Base Camp (5,300 m) marks the start of the true expedition phase. Over several weeks, you will complete a series of strategic rotations through Camps I to IV, navigating the Khumbu Icefall, ascending the Lhotse Face, and resting at the South Col. These rotations allow your body to adapt while the Sherpa team establishes fixed lines and camps.
When the weather window opens, the summit push begins. Starting late at night from Camp IV, climbers ascend past the Balcony, South Summit, and Hillary Step before reaching the top of the world at sunrise. Standing on Everest’s summit is a moment beyond words earned through discipline, patience, teamwork, and resilience.
With strong Sherpa support, oxygen systems, emergency planning, and personalized care, Altinepal Treks ensures that your Everest dream is approached with professionalism, respect for the mountain, and the highest safety standards possible.
