Getting There
-
Trek
From Everest Base Camp, you will need to start your trek towards the Everest South Summit. The trail begins at the southern end of the Base Camp where you will find signs indicating the route. Head south along the Khumbu Glacier, keeping an eye out for the trail markers. The trek to the South Summit typically takes about 4-6 hours depending on your pace and acclimatization. Ensure you have a local guide or are part of an organized trek for safety and navigation.
-
Climbing Equipment
Make sure you are equipped with proper climbing gear, as the last section to reach the South Summit involves some technical climbing. This includes crampons, harnesses, ropes, and possibly an ice axe. You can rent or purchase this gear in Kathmandu or Namche Bazaar before heading to Base Camp. Budget approximately $200-$500 for quality gear depending on your needs.
-
Permits
Before you set out, ensure you have the necessary permits to trek in the Everest region. This includes the Sagarmatha National Park entry permit and, if you're climbing, an expedition permit. These can be arranged through a local trekking agency or obtained in Kathmandu. Expect to pay around $30 for the park permit and $1,500-$5,000 for the climbing permit depending on your expedition's objective.
-
Local Guides
It is highly recommended to hire local guides or join a guided expedition when attempting to reach the South Summit. They will provide valuable expertise and assist with navigation, ensuring your safety in the challenging terrain. Costs for a local guide can range from $25 to $100 per day.
