Overview

Hike to Camp III on Everest is the most adventurous trek for those who love mountaineering. The North face of Everest, above the ice-clad realm of Camp III, unveils the view of mesmerizing mountain panoramas as the the wind-blown snowflakes of the North Col, the enormous rock hanging on Everest’s Northeast Ridge and most astounding of all, the instantly recognizable rock summit of Everest. The top of the world is on an eye catching sight—and it is, only a little more than 8,000 feet above the high point of our trek. The peculiar world of Camp III at 21,100 feet is the closest destination for the non climbers to get the experience of the trek to the roof of the world.

This legendary route up the North Face of Mount Everest was pioneered in the 1920s by British mountaineer George Mallory, who said he wanted to climb Everest “because it is there.” Mallory and his friend who were last seen above Camp IV on June 6, heading toward the summit, disappeared into the mists of the history. The legend of Mallory and Irvine has remained one of mountaineering’s mysterious narratives, and the question of whether they died while still on the ascent or after having reached the summit has intrigued mountaineers for 90 years. Howeever, in 1999, an American expedition led by Conrad Anker located Mallory’s body below Everest’s Northeast Ridge.

When to Travel?

The best seasons for trekking to the Everest Base Camp are Autumn (Sept to Dec) and Spring (March to May). The weather is sunny and warm making the views outstanding in these seasons. The weather condition is the primary issue during the Winter (Jan to Feb) season for trekking to Everest Base Camp. The region offers a freezing cold during winter. Just opposite to this, EBC trek gets affected by monsoon during Summer/ rainy season (June to August). Nevertheless, this time is the appropriate time for a keen and enthusiastic Botanist.

Should I book pre/post tour accommodation?

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however.
