Amazing experience

I had an amazing experience with Nepal Social Trek! Starting with clear communication and well-organized trip planning followed by a warm welcome, we were impressed by the great hospitality we received from everyone. The trip was a real adventure, full of happy emotions and beautiful moments shared together. Our guides, Narayan and Govinda, were extremely skilled and knowledgeable. They were not only excellent guides but also beautiful people from a human point of view. After the trek, Nepal Social Trek also arranged a guided tour of the city of Bhaktapur and its temples for us. I absolutely recommend Nepal Social Trek!

Good experience in Nepal

I did the Chisapani Nagarkot trekk. My guide Kamal was very considerate, landscapes were nice and the hotels and food were good. We also visited Bhaktapur which is nice. I recommend visting Nepal and the Nepal social company.

Langtang Valley Trek

What an epic trip! Nepal Social Treks were brilliant. Seamless organisation from start to finish. They were always friendly and responsive with communication before I came out, were helpful when it came to hiccups with my baggage. And were flexible with my tour, switching from the Tamang to the Langtang trek with no complaints. My guide - Kamal, and porter - Santa, were both excellent. Kamal was super knowledgable, trustworthy, and great company. Santa’s a legend! The accommodation & food were great. The daily trekking: incredible and just the right level of challenging. I could not recommend this trek enough if you’re after something shorter.

Nepal Social Treks were an amazing company who helped me make memories for my life on a climbing attempt of Island Peak December 2023. Even though it was in the off-season and in December, they ensured I had everything necessary to achieve my goal and enjoy my winter trek. They were also very helpful after the trek and I enjoyed my conversations in their Kathmandu office. I'd recommend my friends to go climbing with them any day.

A trip organized by Simina Cernat our guide from România with a very good collaboration with Nepal Social Trecks. This was an experience of a lifetime rafting mountains nature people… We are grateful we had Lakpa to guide us throughout the trecking. Lakpa carefully addressed all our questions and help us understand Nepali culture he was the best guide friendly, kind, patient and felt very taken care of during our 9days trek on the Annapurna Circuit. At 5000m i had a difficult moment, could hardly walk but Lakpa immediately observed that and he helped me succesfully reach to Thorong La pass. 5416m. Also the two porters Nima and Manut were very nice and helpful. The trip itself was well thought through for our needs and expectations. Thank you Lakpa and high-level

FAQs about Mount Everest Expedition

Expand all

What are the prerequisites for the Everest expedition?

Everest expedition is the ultimate expedition for all climbers. To join in on this experience of a lifetime, you’ll need to have some previous experience of climbing some 6000-7000 m peaks in Nepal. Only then you’re eligible for the permit. Besides that, you also need to submit a certificate of good health and physical fitness and be accompanied by a professional mountain guide.

How much does it cost for the Everest expedition?

To be honest, climbing Everest costs quite a lot. Simply, acquiring the permit from the Nepalese government costs around $11000. Besides that, there are many miscellaneous costs associated with a climb. So on average, climbing with a Western agency can cost you anywhere around $45000-$70000, including everything. Whereas, if you choose to climb with a Nepalese agency it can cost anywhere around $30000-$45000

Which route will we use for the expedition?

We at Nepal Social Treks are concerned about providing a standard service for all. So, we choose to climb from Southern Col, which is the easiest route to the top of Everest as called by many mountaineers. After it was first discovered by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953, it has since been the standard route for climbing Everest.

What are the food and accomodation facilities like?

During the first few days, you will be staying at a 3-star/5-star and eating food just like your home, although you’re away from home. While on the trek to base camp, you will need to adjust in twin-sharing rooms as you go higher. At the basecamp, there are well-facilitated tents where our sherpas cook the best food for you. Rather than freeze-dried food, we choose MRE’s(Meals Ready-to-Eat). Food like pizza, bacon, eggs, pasta, etc. is available.

What equipment do I need for the Everest expedition?

Once you register your trip with us, we provide you with an extensive list of equipment you need to get for the expedition. You must follow the list strictly. In case you want a few extra personal stuff, you may bring that too. Remember, the weight limit should be around 40 kgs. So, if the weight limit is exceeded you will need to pay extra on flight, you can bring anything that helps you make base camp your home.

How long does it take to climb Mt Everest?

All in all, the whole trip from Kathmandu takes about 63 days, including 11 days of getting to Everest Base Camp, 46 days of climbing, and 1 day for clean up. It is one of the longest climbing trips that will test your physical and mental strength to its core.

Do we use oxygen cylinders?

Yes, oxygen cylinders are an essential part of the expedition. NST encourages all of its clients to use an oxygen cylinder while climbing, which will help you perform better. Climbers have reported increased energy levels, ease in breathing, better health by the end of the expedition, and also said they were able to better enjoy their time at the top with the oxygen cylinder on.

What about health emergencies?

For an Everest expedition, you are asked to submit your health report before you’re granted a permit. However, in case of emergencies, we suggest you get an insurance policy that covers the cost of a rescue. Nonetheless, we have a team of the experienced medical staff at the base camp.
