Dream Himalaya Adventures has been running successful Himalayan mountaineering expeditions since more than decades now. We support full board expedition services up to the summit of the peak and as well as the basic services for base camp. We are committed to providing the highest quality service and experience to help you reach your goal. However, all climbing members are required to have considerable climbing experience at higher altitudes, preferably in the Himalaya.
Our Sherpa are highly qualified, experienced and several times summits of Mt. Everest and other 8000m peaks. All of our Sherpa are proficient mountaineers with excellent success rates, and are always focussed on the safety of clients as their number one priority. All Climbers will be assisted by our well experienced Sherpas at the ratio of 1:1 and there will be a manager at base camp to assist the team members and the Sherpas.
Climbing Routes & High Camps
After final preparations in Kathmandu, we'll fly to Lukla and begins our 8 days teahouse trek in the Khumbu Valley to Everest base camp. We will ascent the peak via normal route, the south face route. We will establish four different camps on the mountain. The first, at 19,500ft, is situated at the top of the icefall. This camp function as an intermediate camp until Camp II (advanced base camp) is established at 21,000ft. Camp II will consist of large tents for cooking and dining and several smaller tents for sleeping. Camp II will be our base during the placements of Camp III and Camp IV (23,500ft and 25,912ft) respectively. Camp III, which stands at the head of the cirque on the Lhotse face, will consist of two and three men tents. This camp serves as an intermediate camp, which climbers will use to reach Camp IV. Oxygen will be used above Camp III to aid climbers in reaching high camp before attempting the summit. From Camp IV, we travel along the west ridge to the Summit. From here we traverse for a few hundred meters before reaching the main summit.
