Our Sherpas are highly qualified and experienced. All our Sherpas have had high reputation with excellent success rates with safety of client as number one priority.
We are committed to provide you with the best quality of service and experience to help you reach your goal. However, all climbing members will have had considerable climbing experience at higher altitudes, preferably in Himalaya. Each climber will be aware of the inherent risks - bad weather, injury and death ? associated with climbing Everest and understand that the possibility of actually summit is very slim. There will be a manager at base camp to assist the team and act as a liaison between climbers and the Sherpas. All members will be assisted by our high quality Sherpa at the ratio of 1:1, most of whom have summit Everest numerous times
 
Proper acclimatization is of the utmost importance, as well as the following the advice of the climbing Sherpa and the team's Sirdar. Oxygen (04 bottles with mask and regulator) is included in the cost. Food will be both local and imported; high altitude food will be a variety of the standard precooked, imported, boil-n-bags. Members are responsible for their own private snacks, sports drinks and personal preferences.   Each member is responsible for his/her own first aid supplies.
