Previous thread: https://www.nairaland.com/3417802/graveyard-26000ft-stories-frozen-bodies https://www.nairaland.com/5208899/worlds-highest-traffic-jam-11 Hundreds of people from around the world travel to the Himalayas every year, dreaming of reaching the Everest summit. They spend weeks getting their gear, adjusting to the altitude and simply waiting for good weather. Here's what you need to know if you are thinking of climbing Everest. How much does it cost? Going to Everest can be more expensive than having a new car or house. Climbers can pay anything from $35,000(₦12.6million) to more than $100,000(₦36million). The cost includes $11,000(Around 4million) for the climbing permit from the government of Nepal or Tibet, bottled oxygen and high-altitude gear that includes tents, sleeping bags and boots. It also covers medical care, food and support from Sherpa guides and bottled oxygen for them, which is mandatory for every foreign climber. It excludes travelling cost from home country, local transportation, hotel reservation in Nepal, and altitude training. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/05/28/asia/how-to-climb-mount-everest/index.html All photos: @mountaineverstofficial IG.

One company, Seven Summit Treks, charges $130,000(₦46.8million) per person for a "VVIP" Mount Everest package that includes a welcome dinner, a stay in a five-star Kathmandu hotel, a private bakery and bar at base camp, private heated kitchen, shower, and toilet tents at base camp, a personal photographer, meals, and unlimited tea and coffee, plus a private helicopter service. The package doesn't include international flights to and from Nepal, required gear, or tips for the crew. It can be cheaper to hire a local expedition in Nepal, but that will still cost you around $35,000(₦12.6million). And then there's the gear you'll need to buy. Garrett Madison, an Everest guide at Madison Mountaineering, which charges $65,000(₦23.4million) for its standard package, told The Manual that someone who wants to reach the summit of Mount Everest should plan to spend between $6,000(₦2.1million) and $8,000(₦2.8million) on items such as a down suit, sleeping bags, tents, boots, a trekking backpack, and an ice axe, mask and oxygen bottle. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/how-much-it-costs-climb-everest-2019-5 2 Likes 1 Share

When is the best time to climb Everest? Most mountaineers attempt to ascend the world's tallest peak in May. There's a brief window of time usually after May 15 when temperatures are warmer and the high-altitude winds known as the jet stream have moved away from the mountains. It's also right before monsoon season. Climbers usually try to avoid visiting the Everest region if there's frequent rainfall, as it can make the trail conditions slippery and dangerous. Having good weather is crucial for climbers. Remsberg said climbers won't try to seek the summit without the right weather conditions. Many spent weeks at base camp just waiting without guarantee they'll actually reach it.

Where does the trip begin? Mount Everest sits right at the border between Nepal and Tibet. There are many possible routes, but the majority of Everest climbers usually choose between two the south route in Nepal and the north route in Tibet. Most trekking companies operate in Nepal, as climbing in Tibet has become more expensive and more controlled in recent years. Those climbing on the south route fly into Nepal's capital of Kathmandu, then fly on to the village of Lukla, where travelers begin hiking to the Everest base camp. 1 Like

How long does it take to climb Everest? It takes about two months to climb Mt. Everest(Training). Gordon Janow, director of programs at Alpine Ascents International, a Seattle-based expedition company, flew a group of 12 climbers to the Himalayas in late March and doesn't expect them to come home until the end of May. The climbers, along with staff members and Sherpa guides, would spend nearly two weeks hiking to the Everest base camp, which sits at an altitude of around 17,000 feet (5,200 meters). They would then spend about two weeks adjusting to the altitude and waiting on good weather conditions before continuing for another four days, reaching other camps and finally ascending to the summit. Most climbers spend months or even years training before even thinking about making it to the mountain. 2 Likes

Joshua Awesome is the only Nigerian to have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro I've never heard of any Nigerian climbing Everest. If i had the money, I'd do it. To be the first Nigerian to summit Everest and plant the Nigerian flag. Climbing that mountain is a test of endurance, mental fortitude and fitness. Some things are worth dying for. 4 Likes |

Explorer,s post is always educative and mind blowing, but I want ask, is there any reward attached to people that reach the Summit or you're on your own? |
Re: Package For Climbing Mount Everest Cost Between ₦12million And ₦36million(Pics) by Explorers(m): 9:53am On May 29, 2019 |
Realist2: As a Barcelona, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool fan, is there any reward? Most especially fans bottling and stabbing each because of Messi vs CR7. Any reward for them? When the players themselves are making average ₦50million - ₦100million weekly. We're different from them, going to the extreme and making history is what they're passionate about. Ask us(Africans/Nigerians) to make a list of what we desire in life, then ask the white Americans or Europeans to also make their. Most Nigerians/Africans will write working with NNPC/Shell/Chevron/Mobil, having a house in Lekki/V.I/Maitama, and buying Benz also chopping as many babes as possible. Most whites will make crazy list like seeing Mars, Moon, Sun, Mariana Trench, edge of the earth and like. 8 Likes 1 Share |

ValCon888:they don't understand, I can still remember quit vividly about 15years or so ago in jss1 , I asked my teacher if a black man has ever climbed the mount Everest, he replied , " I'm not sure , but if you choose to climb it,I will know that a Nigerian has finally climbed that Mountain) I swore from that day that I will clim that mountain,wether or not I become the first Nigerian to do so, and today I still have that dream, if it lived so freshly in memory,know that it is just mere time before I climb it .maybe in the next 10years I don't know, but I surely will climb that mountain...
