Since the first ascent of Mt. Everest by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on 29 May 1953 via S-Col SE Ridge approximately 5231 ascents are counted from the Nepal side till spring 2017 and “Sherpa” from the very first to now witnessed almost all attempts on the world’s highest peak. Mt. Everest also known as Sagarmatha and Chomolungma is situated at an altitude of 8,848m (29,029 ft.) in the MahalungurHimal Range between the Nepal and China Border with the coordinates of 27°59'17"N 86°5'31"E.

The highest peak of the world, Mt. Everest has been climbed multiple times by both Sherpas and foreigners, but remarkably only 3 individuals (all Sherpa) can script the history of Everest for 21 equal ascents. Apa Sherpa aka ‘Super Sherpa’ from Thame, PhurbaTashi from Khumjung, and Kami Rita from Thame, all 3 have scaled the highest peak more than anyone on the planet. Apa Sherpa climbed Mt. Everest 21 times between 10 May 1990 – 11 May 2011, PhurbaTashi Sherpa between 27 May 1999 – 10 May 2013, and Kami Rita Sherpa between 13 May 1994 – 27 May 2017.

The 48-year-old Kami Rita inhabitant of Thame, Solukhumbu reached the highest point on 13 May 1994 as his first ascent of Everest and continued his high altitude journey by climbing Annapurna IV in 1996, Cho Oyu 8188m for 8 times from 2001 to 2011, Lhotse 8516m in 2011, Mt. K 2 (8611m) in 2014 Manaslu 8163 in 2017.

Mardi Himal trek. A wonderful trek ideal even for beginners. Wonderful views, great facilities. Our choice for this trek was through our honeymoon. Seven Summit Treks organized and prepared everything. Sherpa Tashi and porter Nima were great. We could talk, they always prepared everything. I have been in contact with the guys from Seven Summit Treks since the expedition to Makalu and I know that I can rely on them. Thank you for your help and wonderful experience. And see you at the next event.

Our first co-operation was in 2013 in Pakistan with Arnold Coster expeditions and Sevensummittreks towards the Gasherbrum. After that, we continued to work together on expeditions towards Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Manaslu (winter), and AmaDablam. For me, SST is a very professional company with a lot of experience and knowledge. We have full confidence in their capabilities and appreciate their flexibility. I would like to thank them for all those years of cooperation and I look forwards to new adventures in Nepal and Pakistan.

I have been on many expeditions in Nepal over the years, most of them I organized with friends and used Seven Summit Treks only for their base camp services with great service! This year none of my friends were available to climb in Nepal in the Autumn season so I contacted SST and decided to sign up for the Mera Peak and Baruntse expedition. SST organized everything and provide me with a personal climbing Sherpa for the entire trip. Throughout the entire trip, everything was taken care of by SST, including lodging, tea houses, and meals. At Baruntse base camp I had a nice private tent and the cook and kitchen staff always had smiles and cooked great meals. My Sherpa (Jangbu) was great and we became close friends and climbing partners. Jangbu was always there with a smile, a very strong climber, always wanting to help in any way he could. There was plenty of time to decide how and when we were going to make a summit push based on the weather. We had fantastic summit days on both peaks and finished the trip crossing the Amphu Labste pass into the Khumbu Valley staying each night in nice lodges with all meals included. I would highly recommend using SST for any expedition that you want to go on. Thank you Seven Summit Treks for a great trip and your attention to detail!!
