Climb Overview
Our Everest expedition itinerary is designed with experience, planned and careful attention allowing maximum days for the approach, the highest level of service and a strong team of guides. We offer expeditions with safety priority and service paramount. We offer more oxygen support and provide comfortable logistics at base camp and Camp 2.
 
We follow the standard trekking route to Everest base camp following Namche Bazar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorekshep and finally Everest base camp. Upon arrival at Base Camp, settle and get organized as we prepare for the actual climb.
A pre-training session /climbing course will be held at the base camp, ice seracs of the lower Khumbu Glacier to check climbers’ equipment and review climbing and rescue techniques. You will also climb Lobuche East as part of your acclimatization climbs instead of frequent rotations in the Khumbu icefall.
Lobuche East is one of the most exciting 6000m trekking peaks in the Everest Region. Lobuche east climb serves as a perfect training base for Everest Expeditions and this is what we would be doing at Highland Expeditions too. You will climb Lobuche East wearing your high-altitude boots and equipment to make you feel comfortable. This peak provides not only an attractive diversion but an excellent part of the acclimatization process while allowing members to refresh and update mountain skills before moving up to Everest.
Climbing Lobuche East Peak prior to the actual Everest climb has not only helped in acclimatization but the climbers will not have to pass through the Khumbu Icefall multiple times for rotation of higher camps. After the climb, we head to base camp and in between looking at an auspicious date as per the Tibetan calendar we will organize a Puja ceremony in a traditional Sherpa manner asking for blessings for a successful Everest Climb.
Our second acclimatization phase begins with the rotation of higher camps passing by the notorious Khumbu icefall. Four camps will be set up above the base camp. We will prepare Camp1 (5,900m/19,500ft) at the pinnacle of the icefall, Camp2 (6,400m/21,000ft) in Western Cwm, which will be our Advanced Base Camp. We will set up Camp 3 (7,300m/23,700ft) at the top of the cirque on Lhotse Face. Camp 4 (7,900m/25,912ft) will be the final camp before climbing the summit. Camp 4 will be placed in the South Col.
Your expedition leader will suggest you the best as per your conditions. In general, our acclimatization program includes overnight at Camp 2 and tagging the Lhotse Face/Camp 3. When this is done, we rest and recover at the base camp while waiting for the weather window for the summit attempt. Oxygen cylinders will be used after Camp 3 for an easy ascent. We provide 8 bottles of oxygen to each climber for maximum flow. From Camp 4, following the southeast ridge, we will make it to the South summit from where we will advance towards Hillary step before climbing to the summit.

Expedition Manager/Guide
Our Everest Expedition 2026 will be managed by Kunga Sherpa, an Everest summiteer and avid climber himself. With over 35 years of experience in the climbing industry, he has managed over forty above 8000m expeditions to date with a 90% success ratio.
For 2026, our Everest Expedition leader will be a Nepalese UIAGM/IFMGA Guide.
1:1 Sherpa to client ratio on summit day
Most of our Sherpa guides come from Rolwaling and Thame. All our Sherpa guides are previous Everest summiteers with detailed experience on high-altitude expeditions. We provide a 1:1 sherpa guide-to-client ratio on the summit day. Each of our Sherpa guides has tons of experience in climbing high-altitude peaks.
Our Sherpa crews are critical to the success of the climbs that you do with us. We, us professionally trained Sherpa guides & sirdars are just not hikers & climbers on the mountains but have been trained to perform this task with a lot of common sense & guile. Kunga Sherpa, Everest summiteer and founder of Highland Expeditions has successfully guided and organized over 40 expeditions to 8000m as an expedition sirdar oversees our experienced Sherpa crew that will be with you on the climb.
We ensure that they are confident & experienced. Most of our guides were born in these parts & have relatives living in other parts of the regions where they were born in. We know that locally born staffs are a vital cog in that wheel of sometimes dangerous adventure where anything can happen. At Highland Expeditions, we always make sure that our mountain crews are highly motivated & never compromise.
Local company with decades of high altitude experience
Highland Expeditions is a fully licensed and registered company operating high-altitude trips in the Himalayas. The people who helm this venture have been guiding high-altitude expeditions since 1992 and we take great pride in being able to offer personalized expeditions to Mt. Everest with safety priority and service paramount.

Important Note: At Highland Expeditions, your safety is our highest priority. Please be aware that your guide has the authority to modify or cancel any part of the itinerary if it is deemed necessary for safety reasons. While every effort will be made to follow the planned schedule, the nature of high-altitude expeditions means that flexibility is essential.
Climbing 8000m peaks in remote and mountainous regions brings with it variables that are beyond our control. Weather changes, altitude-related health issues, and unforeseen natural events can all lead to itinerary adjustments. In such cases, your guide will make informed decisions to ensure the well-being of all team members. We ask that all participants approach the expedition with an open mind and a flexible attitude. The ability to adapt to changing circumstances is a key part of any successful Himalayan adventure.

Itinerary Disclaimer: The detailed itinerary provided above serves as a general guide for the Everest Expedition, based on our experience and an optimal pacing strategy. However, high altitude expeditions are inherently unpredictable, and several factors may lead to changes in the planned schedule. Each climber acclimatizes at their own pace, and adjustments to the acclimatization plan or summit push may be necessary to ensure individual safety and overall expedition success. Weather conditions, route conditions, team dynamics, health status, and logistical factors can all influence the daily plan. While we aim to follow the outlined schedule as closely as possible, flexibility is essential in the mountains. Our guiding team will make real time decisions based on years of experience and sound judgment, prioritizing safety, acclimatization, and summit success.
We strongly encourage all participants to come prepared physically, mentally, and logistically for a fluid itinerary. Patience, adaptability, and teamwork are vital components of a successful 8000m expedition.

Everest Summit Expedition 2024: Expertly Executed and Unforgettable
Everest Summit Expedition 2024.
This company’s organisation and execution of this expedition was excellent. The expert knowledge, abilities and prioritisation of safety shown by everyone I encountered made this an experience of a lifetime.
Exceptional Care from Start to Summit
Exceptional Care from Start to Summit
A great local company that looks after you, its guides and its staff. I have done Ama Dablam and Everest with them. Both were very well-run expeditions and led to successful summits. Thank Passang and the Highlands team for all your efforts for the airport pick-up to reaching my goal. Can’t recommend these guys enough.
