EXPEDITION

Nepal being the paradise of trekkers and mountaineers, mountain expedition have been a common feature of Nepal. Expedition parties from many parts of the world visit Nepal to conquer the challenging peaks and snow walls almost every year. The conquering of Mt. Sagarmatha (Everest), the world’s highest peak (29,028 ft.) by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa (born in eastern Nepal) and Edmund Hillary (of New Zealand) in 1953 has been the glorious landmark of all expeditions. Many other expeditions have, since, scaled various challenging peaks including Mt. Everest successfully. Adventurous expeditions have become synonymous with popular sport or an agenda of life for individuals, groups or the nations. Hence, hundreds of expedition teams scale various peaks of Nepal every year these days.
