Highlights

Overview

An incredible and thrilling chance to scale the top of the world, Mount Everest Expedition by Bharal Adventure truly fulfills your desire to set foot on the top of the world, i.e., the peak of Mount Everest, the highest peak of the world.  Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in the year 1953 accomplished it at first. Climbing Mount Everest is one of the most challenging yet more fulfilling expedition. If you ever desire to scale this highest pinnacle of the world, this is your opportunity to chase your dream. The height and length by contemporary standards is moderate. Mount Everest Expedition was the first ride for Disney to have its train’s travels both forward and backward.

The mountain facade, the Yeti audio-animatronics’, and the roller coaster are three independent structures. Each structure reaches the ground-level and does not touch the other two structures. Expedition Everest’s mountain is made from 1,800 tons of steel and painted with 2,000 gallons of paint. It is the tallest artificial mountain in the world, but not, as occasionally cited, the tallest point in Florida. The challenging Mount Everest Expedition begins from the scenic yet thrilling flight to Lukla. From here more than two months long trek into the mighty Himalayas begin.

This 71 days expedition offers training and practices as you trek into higher altitude in the harsh weather conditions to scale the top of the world. Proper training on use of climbing equipment and techniques are provided along with the constant acclimatization activities. This ensures minimal injury or risks as you aspire to set your foot on the “head of the sky”. Therefore, Bharal Adventure is fully concious about the safty measures. We assure you best hospitality and quality services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Climbers face numerous challenges, including extreme weather conditions, high-altitude sickness, avalanches, crevasses, and the physical and mental toll of climbing at high altitudes.

The death rate on Mount Everest varies from year to year but historically has been around 1-2%. The most common causes of death are avalanches, falls, and complications related to high-altitude sickness.

Waste management on Everest is a significant concern. Expeditions are required to bring back all non-biodegradable waste, and efforts are made to clean up the mountain. Human waste is often collected in designated containers or carried down for proper disposal.

The success rate varies, but on average, it is around 60-70%. Factors such as weather conditions, individual fitness, and team coordination contribute to the success or failure of a climb.

While there is no strict age limit, climbers are generally required to be in excellent physical condition. Most climbers attempting Everest are between the ages of 25 and 65, with a focus on experience and fitness rather than age.
