The Everest & Lhotse Expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for climbers aiming to conquer two of the world’s highest peaks in a single season. This challenging adventure combines the allure of Mount Everest (8,848.86 meters / 29,032 feet), the highest mountain on Earth, with the thrill of scaling Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters / 27,940 feet), the fourth-highest peak.
Known as the “Roof of the World,” Mount Everest is a legendary summit that straddles the border of Nepal and Tibet. Part of the Mahalangur Range, it is revered for its breathtaking views and immense significance. The mountain is locally called Sagarmatha in Nepali, meaning “Peak of Heaven,” and Chomolungma in Tibetan, which translates to “Goddess Mother of the World.”
Located just south of Everest, Lhotse shares much of the same climbing route, making it a natural pairing for experienced mountaineers. The two peaks are connected via the South Col at an elevation of 7,890 meters (25,000 feet). Lhotse, often overshadowed by its towering neighbor, offers its own unique challenges, with a steep ascent and mesmerizing views of the Himalayas.
The expedition begins in the Khumbu Icefall, a dynamic and technical section that climbers navigate to reach higher camps. The shared route extends up to the South Col. After summiting Everest, climbers have the rare chance to push forward and ascend Lhotse, completing the ultimate double-8000er feat.
This combination of climbs demands exceptional physical fitness, mental resilience, and determination. Very few climbers have successfully achieved this milestone, making it one of the most prestigious accomplishments in the mountaineering world.
Climbing Everest and Lhotse together offers the ultimate high-altitude adventure. Beyond the challenge, climbers can experience the stunning beauty of the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From towering glaciers to rare wildlife like the snow leopard and red panda, this expedition is as enriching as it is exhilarating.
This expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, allowing you to conquer two of the world’s highest peaks in one journey. With expert guidance from PK Sherpa and the Rise Expeditions team, you’ll be in safe hands every step of the way.
