Mount Everest Ascent

The roof of the world

Join our guides as we climb to the sum­mit of Mount Ever­est and gain the mountaineer’s ulti­mate expe­di­tion prize — an ascent to the top of the world. The expe­di­tion to Ever­est is an unpar­al­leled jour­ney of both leg­endary and epic pro­por­tion. With our full ser­vice approach to climb­ing Mount Ever­est you expe­ri­ence the high­est chance for suc­cess — you need only gain the expe­ri­ence required and bring your determination. 

The prepa­ra­tion itself for the climb of Mount Ever­est may include expe­di­tions to Aconcagua, Nun, Vin­son and oth­er adven­tures that are wor­thy on their own. The com­mit­ment, train­ing, focus and prepa­ra­tion climbs make this one of the world’s most incred­i­ble and reward­ing life­time journeys.

Flight Information

The total num­ber of days for your trip includes all trav­el to and from your des­ti­na­tion, with some excep­tions. Dates list­ed on the web­site start with your depar­ture date from the US and include the day you arrive home. 

For this trip you will need to arrive in Kath­man­du, Nepal on Day 3 of the itin­er­ary. You will cross the date line in mid-flight to Asia, thus los­ing a day. If you are trav­el­ing from out­side the US. your itin­er­ary may require less time to reach Kath­man­du, so all that is required is that you arrive on Day 3 of the itin­er­ary, where Moun­tain Mad­ness ser­vices begin. If you arrive ear­ly, we can assist with extra hotel arrange­ments and activ­i­ties. Oth­er­wise, you can arrive at any time on Day 3. You will be met at the air­port by a Moun­tain Mad­ness rep­re­sen­ta­tive and trans­ferred to your hotel. 

Please con­tact our office for any help need­ed with flight schedule.
