Overview
This Everest and Lhotse Expedition is specially designed for those who are planning to do double 8000m expeditions in a single season. These two 8000m shares same Basecamp and route from Khumbu Icefall to till 100m below the south col(8000m). Due to the same route, climbers can make another ascent after climbing the first one and the expedition package is in reasonable price.
It leads to Camp-I, THE SILENT VALLEY’ (20000FT 21000FT). This is also a vast, flat area of endless snow, deep crevasse and mountain walls, frequently washed by avalanches. Camp 2 (21300ft) is also marked by a rocky Patch at the foot of the icy Lhotse wall. Furthermore, Camp-III, Lhotse Wall (23000 ft- 26000ft). This is a 4000ft high ice wall, which is also climbed using fixed ropes. It leads on to camp-III, a narrow platform placed right out of the wall. A traverse then leaves to the Yellow Band, a rocky section. From this point onwards, you will also need oxygen cylinders. You will also reach the Camp IV (7,910m) after just crossing 8000m elevations. This point is also known as the Death Zone.
Mt. Lhotse is the 4th highest mountain after Everest, K2 and Kanchenjunga. It is also one of the most impressive mountains to climb. It is also climbed from the west face. The way to Everest and Lhotse is same till 7800m.

Trip Notes
Trekking and mountain climbing in the Himalayas are highly dependent on weather conditions. We try to schedule our trips at the most favorable time but in case of extreme scenarios, the roadways may be blocked. In cases as such, we would also like to notify you that except for the total number of days in the itinerary section, expenses of other extra days shall be borne by the client himself/herself. However, Everest Expeditions Nepal will make necessary arrangements for the accommodation of porters and guides.
Also, Everest Expeditions Nepal shall not be liable for any compensation for losses due to missed International Flights but we will surely help to make necessary arrangements to minimize your loss. To avoid missing flights, we suggest keeping some flexible time frames before trip departure and after trip departure.
Also be notified that as we will be traveling in remote areas with extreme climatic conditions and geography where trails can be distorted at times, we might need to adjust our itineraries as required. But we assure you that the quality of service shall not be compromised at any cost.
