Mt Everest towards camp III
Karna Tamang on the Summit Mt Everest

Mt Everest Climbing Expedition 2012 and 2013

 


Three Jewels Adventures proudly presents well known climbing trip to the Mt Everest with one of most capable climbing guides of Nepal Karna Tamang (KB).  KB reached the summit of Mt Everest twice in his two Expeditions first one on 2009 with an All Nepali team and second time with a Slovenian climbing team.  What made both of his climbing remarkable is that on first one he did the climbing from camp IV to summit (also known as death zone) solo and second time he successfully managed to bring his sick client safely down to the base camp from the summit.  Technical knowledge, confidence and an honest effort to make a trip safe and successful are the key needs for climbing guides and due to these qualities we feel happy to offer the service of one of the great guides of the Himalaya.  You may read KB's climbing story on ambertamang.blogspot.com


As always our concentration will be on climbing safe.  Each climbing clients will have one experienced support climber unless their requirements are otherwise. There will be one extra Sherpa in every two climbers (i.e. three guides 2 clients ratio)  And most importantly all our climbing trips are set on eco-friendly manner with respect to the mountains, our fellow climbers and our staff.
