Highlights

It is the matter of great proud for adventure lovers to conquer the world's tallest peak, Mount Everest (8848m). The first to step on the tallest summit is Sir Edmond Hillary and Late Tenzing Norge on May 29, 1953 after their long time's effort.
The root of this peak is Everest Base Camp (18000ft). Entire international climbers reach here during the starting and at the ending of their Everest Expedition. Normally this expedition lasts for 90 days. They seem really busy and excited preparing their expedition to kiss the summit.
Some climbers begin their expedition at their own risk without any climbing Sherpa guide and some climbers go with their own climbing Sherpa guide. Most of the teams carry their own Internet, Satellite phone, Medical Doctor, and other requirements. Moving ahead from Base Camp, we have to cross crevasses, Seracs, and ice block facing Chunks of ice as large as our houses where we should use fixed ropes and aluminum ladders to climb ahead up to camp 1 (6400m).
Camp 1: (6400m/20000ft.)
This Camp 1 is situated at the flat area of endless snow deep crevasses and mountain walls. We get a warm and heating ambience at this place. In the night we listen to the deep murmuring cracking sounds of crevasses beneath our tent. After this, we have to move forward to reach camp 2 (6750m).
Camp 2: (6750m/21000ft.)
Located at the foot of the icy mount Lhotse wall, Camp 2 has got good weather but bad clouds roll in from the low range of the Himalayan valleys. We should be careful as wind here sometimes becomes violent and can destroy our tents. From here, we walk to Camp 3.
Camp 3 (7100m/22300ft.)
After climbing the 4000ft. Lhotse wall by using fixed rope and with prior acclimatization we reach camp 4. We have to ascend the steep allow bands (lose, down -slopping, and rotten limestone) and cross short snowfield up the Geneva Spur to the east before finishing the flats of the south col. (Another wells name meaning Saddle of pass). Climbers may need oxygen gas above base camp 3 while moving towards Camp 4.
Camp 4 (8400m/26000ft.)
Camp 4 is the dangerous and final camp of the Everest Expedition. Summit is about 500m far from here and it is besieged by ferocious and violent winds. The normal best way to kiss summit is via the narrow South - East Ridge and it precedes the South Summits 28710ft. Late Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norge Sherpa used the same route in 1953 to conquer Mount Everest.
