If you have some doubts about your being ready to try and climb Everest, then the best option for you is to try yourself on a less difficult and dangerous route: Everest North Col (7,000m).

Our expedition starts in Katmandu: we are all meeting in the “Vaishali”**** hotel
1 April. Two days later we start for Tibet: we drive from Katmandu to Zangmu (2350m), Niyalam (3750m), Xegar(4200m). We have one day of rest in Xegar for acclimatization and the next day we drive to Everest BC (5200m). After 2-3 rest days in BC we start with yaks to IBC (5800m). The next day we proceed to ABC (6400m) where we establish a camp similar to our BC. One day later we climb the North Col (7000m). It usually takes 5-7 hours up and 2-3 hours down to ABC.
