how long does it take to climb mount everest

Many people have question how long does it take to climb Mount Everest?

There are two main routes to climb Mount Everest, one is the Southeast ridge from Nepal and the other is North ridge from Tibet.

The Southeast ridge route is most frequently used.

It takes almost 2 months to complete all the expedition to Mount Everest from the base camp of the mountain.

The base camp 1 is situated at an altitude of around 5,300 metres and sits at the foot of the icefall, which is the first major obstacle to climbers.

The integration of body with the thin air and climate of Everest base camp is important to understand before starting the journey.

The other important harbors are Camp 2, Camp 3 and Camp 4, which are known as advanced base camp.  After climbing through each harbor, climbers climb back to lower camp for accommodating body. This is the reason why it takes about 2 months to climb the peak.
