Trekking & Climbing Information
What Our Client Says?
"I was so blown away, I made it my career"
Trekking to Everest Base Camp was a very long held ambition which I finally achieved three years ago. I was so blown away by my experience that, when I came back, I changed careers and joined Nepal Guide Treks & Expedition- the trekking company that I travelled with.
Now I spend my days talking to people about trekking holidays in the Himalaya, looking at photos from treks to Everest Base Camp and helping other trekkers achieve this fantastic goal. Of course, there are many other classic walks around the world but the Everest Base Camp trek remains the most iconic and desirable of all.
Now there are several variations on the classic route that can take you not only to Everest Base Camp, but also into the more remote areas of the Khumbu.
For that reason, it seemed like a good idea to set up a website to share my passion for the Everest Base Camp trek and the others in the region, along with useful information, helpful tips and some stunning images. So, now there's no reason for you not to put on those walking boots and start planning for the trek of your life.

Trip Facts:
Activities: 45 days Trekking & Climbing, 3 nights in Kathmandu with free day.
Start/End: Kathmandu
Destination : Mt. Nuptse Summit
First Ascent: 1961
Trip Duration : 51 days
Max. Altitude : 7,855 meters
Group Size : Min. 1 / Max.20
Best Season : February, March, April, May, June, September, October, November & December.
Trip Grade :
Daily walking Hour: Approx. 4-6
Height of Nuptse Mountain / Peak is 7861meters (25790 feet)
Nuptse 7855m. shares in the glory of the Everest Massif and is the southern border of the Western Cwm. Viewed from the Thangboche Monastery it appears as a massive wall guarding the approach to Everest. It is joined on the right by Lhotse . Just southwest of Mount Everest . The Tibetan name, Nup-tse, means west-peak.
Part of the Lhotse-Nuptse-massif, the main ridge is joined to Lhotse by a 7556m high saddle made up of 7 peaks and goes west-northwest. Its steep west-face drops down more than 2300m to the Khumbu-glacier. The south-face of Nuptse is 2500m high and 5 kilometers wide. The north side is above the Western-Cwm valley with the upper part of the Khumbu-glacier above its famous icefall. The main summit Nuptse I (7861m) was first sumited by a British expedition on the north-ridge (Scott-route) on May 16, 1961 by Dennis Davis and Sherpa Tashi. Notably Sir Chris Bonington was also a member of the FA expedition.
This spring, The North Face is supporting an expedition to climb a new route on the North Face of Nuptse. The North Face athletes, Damian and Willie Benegas have been viewing a new line there while guiding on neighboring Mt Everest. This route is an extremely steep ice and rock mixed climb called "The Snake". Nuptse is situated in the Khumbu Himal just southwest of Mount Everest. The name Nup-tse is Tibetan and means west-peak, as it is the western part of the Lhotse-Nuptse-massif. The main ridge, which is separated from Lhotse by a 7556m high saddle, is crowned by 7 peaks and goes west-northwest until its steep west-face drops down more than 2300m to the Khumbu-glacier. Everest News will be covering their progress. Follow along with the brothers as they attempt to climb this new route!
