Mount Everest, rising to 8,848.86 meters, is the highest peak on Earth and one of the most iconic landmarks in human history. Located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, it is known as “Sagarmatha” in Nepali, meaning "Goddess of the Sky," and “Chomolungma” in Tibetan, meaning "Goddess Mother of the World." These names reflect the mountain's deep spiritual and cultural significance to the local Sherpa people and Himalayan communities.
The south (Nepal) side of Everest became world-famous after the historic first ascent on May 29, 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal reached the summit via the South Col route. Since then, it has remained the most traveled path to the top, with thousands attempting the climb each year.
The route passes through the Khumbu Valley, home to ancient monasteries, vibrant Sherpa culture, and some of the most stunning alpine scenery on Earth. The climb itself involves crossing the deadly Khumbu Icefall, and ascending through five main camps, each higher and more challenging.
Despite the risks, climbers return year after year. For many, Everest is the ultimate test of endurance, determination, and human willpower. Others are drawn by its prestige, beauty, or to honor those who came before them. With the guidance of expert teams like Kora Quest Adventure, climbers experience not only a personal triumph but also a profound connection to nature, culture, and the spirit of mountaineering that Everest uniquely offers.
Everest Base Camp on the Nepal side sits at 5,365 meters, nestled amidst the towering peaks of the Khumbu region. It serves as the starting point for summit expeditions, surrounded by stunning giants like Pumori, Nuptse, and Everest itself. Trekkers and climbers alike are drawn to this dramatic, high-altitude glacier camp for its striking scenery and intense energy. The colorful tents and rhythmic sounds of yak caravans create a vibrant atmosphere. Base Camp is also the place for crucial acclimatization and preparation before the technical climb begins. It is a true meeting point of cultures, dreams, and ambitions.
Camp 1 is the first high-altitude camp after crossing the Khumbu Icefall, one of the most dangerous sections of the Everest climb. Located at 6,100 meters in a flat, snowy valley of the Western Cwm, Camp 1 is often covered in deep snow and prone to avalanches from surrounding peaks. Reaching it takes around 5–7 hours through unstable ice towers, crevasses, and ladders. This stage demands strong technical skill and mental resilience. The environment is harsh, cold, and constantly shifting, but it's a vital point for acclimatization. Camp 1 marks the gateway to the higher Himalayas and deeper into Everest's challenges.
Situated beneath the imposing Lhotse Face, Camp 2 at 6,400 meters is considered Advanced Base Camp. The route from Camp 1 to Camp 2 is less technical but still demanding, passing through the wide, sun-exposed Western Cwm. This camp provides relatively better facilities, with dining tents, communication gear, and more comfort. Climbers usually spend 5–6 nights here for acclimatization. The warm sun in the day contrasts with freezing nights. Camp 2 is a vital rest point before moving to higher, more dangerous camps. It allows climbers to prepare mentally and physically for the challenges of the upper mountain.
Camp 3 is located on the steep, icy wall of the Lhotse Face at about 7,100 meters. Climbers must ascend fixed ropes on hard, blue ice to reach it, facing a steep gradient and increasing oxygen deprivation. The exposure and wind make this part physically and mentally demanding. Camp 3 is small and vulnerable to rock and icefall, offering limited space for tents. Oxygen use often begins here for many climbers. This camp marks the transition from a challenging climb to extreme altitude mountaineering. Climbers must rest and hydrate well here to prepare for the final push to the South Col.
Camp 4, at 7,925 meters on the South Col, is the final resting point before the summit attempt. It lies within the infamous "Death Zone", where oxygen levels are insufficient to sustain human life for long periods. The area is barren, windy, and brutally cold, with views stretching into Tibet and Nepal. Climbers don oxygen masks and down suits here. The stay is brief, focused on hydration and rest before launching the midnight summit push. Camp 4 is where climbers face their deepest fears and greatest hopes. Every movement is measured, and every breath is precious at this extreme altitude.
From Camp 4, the final push to Everest’s summit begins late at night, often around midnight. The route ascends through the Balcony (8,400m), South Summit, and the legendary Hillary Step, a steep, exposed rock face just below the true summit. This stretch is extremely challenging, with sub-zero temperatures, high winds, and life-threatening altitude. Climbers rely heavily on supplemental oxygen and fixed ropes. After 8–12 grueling hours, they reach the top of the world at 8,848.86 meters, standing above all earthly peaks. The view is unparalleled, offering a 360-degree panorama of the Himalayas. For climbers guided by Kora Quest Adventure, the summit is not just a personal achievement, but a shared triumph made possible through expert planning, Sherpa leadership, and safety-first ethics. Kora Quest ensures every climber is well-prepared, monitored, and supported on this life-defining journey to the roof of the world.

Oxygen and Communication System

Extra oxygen cylinders and mask regulators will be kept in reserve for emergencies. For communication, each Sherpa will be equipped with radios at both base camp and higher camps. In addition, we will have other communication systems available, including internet access and phone services for efficient coordination.
Oxygen is critically important for Sherpas and anyone operating in high-altitude regions like the Himalayas, where the air becomes thinner, reducing oxygen levels. Sherpas, native to the mountainous regions of Nepal, are known for their incredible ability to thrive in these low-oxygen environments, often serving as guides for mountaineers. Despite their adaptation, supplemental oxygen is essential for climbers at extreme altitudes like those found on Mount Everest.
At altitudes above 8,000 meters, known as the "death zone," the oxygen concentration is so low that the human body cannot function properly for extended periods without supplemental oxygen. The logistics of providing oxygen in such environments is a life-saving endeavor. Oxygen tanks and delivery systems must be carefully planned and carried by climbers or Sherpas, ensuring that adequate supply reaches high camps. This requires coordination between suppliers, carriers, and climbers, often involving airlifting oxygen canisters to base camps and transporting them up the mountain.
In high-altitude mountaineering, oxygen logistics can make the difference between life and death, as it helps prevent altitude sickness, hypoxia, and other life-threatening conditions.
Kathmandu, the capital and largest city of Nepal, is the cultural and economic heart of the country. Nestled in a valley surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, Kathmandu is a vibrant blend of ancient traditions and modern life. The city is known for its rich history, dating back over 2,000 years, and is home to many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the famous Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), and Pashupatinath Temple.
Kathmandu serves as the gateway for adventurers heading to the Himalayas, especially those embarking on treks to Everest or other high-altitude destinations. The city's bustling streets are filled with colorful markets, centuries-old temples, monasteries, and stupas, reflecting its deep connection to both Hinduism and Buddhism.
Despite the growing modernization, Kathmandu retains its spiritual aura, with shrines and prayer flags adorning almost every corner. Visitors can experience the city's unique fusion of tradition and modernity through its cuisine, music, art, and festivals, making it a fascinating starting point for any adventure into the mountains of Nepal.
