Read the full journey overview
Standing incredibly tall silhouetted against the shared sky of Nepal and Tibet, this mountain is known by different names such as Chomolungma in Tibetan, Sagarmatha in Nepalese, Qomolungma in Chinese. Whichever name one chooses, its vagueness still lives on. Most of the mountaineers have their dream to reach the summit of Everest once in their life time. The Everest South face Expedition route through the south col on the Nepal side of Mt. Everest is the route taken by Sir Edmund Hillary and Late Tenzing Norgay Sherpa to reach the summit in 1953.
