Overview
WILD YAK EXPEDITIONS proposes an approach of the Mount Everest North from its north, Tibet.
First of all, the Expedition starts from Kathmandu with a special mountain flight to the historic capital of Tibet Lhasa. Which offers a century’s old forts, magnificent monasteries, prayer halls of chanting monks, and remote cliffside retreats. It is remarkable to see Buddhist art and cultures on the way to Base Camp. Furthermore a short visit to the Rumbuk Monastery, which holds the climbing History of Mount Everest. It was one of the main Buddhist retreats with its numerous caves and prayer flags* illuminating the rude climate of the Tibetan Plateau. Wild yaks, wild donkeys, mountain goats, eagles, vultures, bears, snow leopard, wolf, wild dogs, and the amazing flora, are its specialty. That grows thin air might all be to appear in the Tibetan landscape on the way to Base Camp.
EVEREST NORTH THE CLIMBING HISTORY
The climbing history of Mount Everest North started on the Northside, in Tibet. Expeditions from all around the World tried to scale the Mountain from its Northside to conquer it. They were competing to be the First Nation on the top of the World. In 1921 the first expedition to Mount Everest was a British reconnaissance through Tibet and 1924 Leigh Mallory. And after that Andrew Irvine took part in another British expedition. The legend is still a mystery whether they might have reached the Summit or not. Several further expeditions attempted Mount Everest but on 20 May 1953, it was finally a British success, but from the Nepalese Southside. Mount Everest is known as Chomolungma for the Himalayan people, meaning ‘Liberal Minded Goddess’.
The climbing route from its Northside to Mount Everest is much safer and easier as compared to the Southside, bringing the summit chances higher.
