Like A VIRGIN - AMA DABLAM.

“Mount Everest” is the highest peak on the face of the earth and was climbed from Southeast ridge for the first time in 1953 by Tenzing and Hillary. Since then the traditional route has been the most popular route traveled by thousands of trekkers each year.

Standing on top of the Everest is one incredible achievement but reaching to base nevertheless is a challenge in itself. Stamina, endurance, mental fitness and mother of all – the weather conditions is key to the success of any Himalayan expedition.


You may be supremely fit walking under the sun on given day and on next day well in jeopardy…. Not for nothing Himalayan weather is considered unpredictable.
