Our philosophy is simple.
​
Establishing a close relationship between our Sherpa guides and clients is imperative, and to reinforce this cohesion and trust, we believe in keeping our group size small with a maximum of 8 climbers.

​
We do not just take anyone who applies. We need to know that you are capable and have the required experience to safely undertake the adventure you sign up for.
​
Taking this approach means smaller groups, plus giving you the added confidence that your fellow climbers are capable and prepared. This allows our team to be more dynamic and flexible on the mountain, and not forced to join long queues of climbers all pushing at the same time for that perfect weather window.

​

On hand support and advice at any time and a team of climbers who will inspire you to reach great heights.
Small team
Mt Everest is a serious undertaking.
​
You will need to be disciplined, focussed and prepared to take on the climb to the highest point on earth.
You'll find a number of large expeditions on the mountain, with as many as 30 climbers and 40 Sherpas in a single team. For a multitude of reasons, that's not our style.
​
By having a small team of climbers, we are able to move more efficiently and carefully on the mountain, have greater flexibility, the capacity to allow input from team members, along with clear decision making, planned performance resulting in a greater chance to summit as a team.
​
You'll get to know everyone, both fellow climbers and Sherpas closely throughout the course of the expedition.
With Everest One, we'll have one Sherpa for each climber and they will guide you throughout your rotations.
We'll be on this journey together every step of the way and when it comes to summit push time, we will be ready to stand on top of the world.
Staying healthy
It's vitally important to protect your health on the Everest Expedition, and Everest One Owner and guide, Allan Cohrs, is an experienced climber and leader on high altitude climbs above 8000m.
​
We ensure that our Sherpa Expedition Leader and climbing team are the best in the business, which is vital to giving you the greatest chance of realising your dream.
​
Together, we monitor the team's performance, conduct daily oxygen saturation readings and ensure the team members are eating well, hydrated, obtaining quality sleep, sufficient rest and are at full strength during each phase of the climb.
​
Such knowledge is an invaluable resource, especially higher up on the mountain without easy access to base camp ER facilities.
​
Our Sherpas are expertly trained in all aspects of climbing, including monitoring your health and hygiene, to maximise your performance throughout the expedition.
Being a part of a smaller team also gives you significant benefits.

What you can expect
Approach (11 days)
​
After spending 2 days in Kathmandu we will fly to Lukla and commence our trek to Everest Base Camp to acclimatise our bodies for the climb ahead. The trek up to base camp follows a proven itinerary, allowing you to adjust to the altitude and gain some extra mountain fitness along the way. We stay in the same teahouses we have used for more than a decade, focussing on your health, hygiene and quality food and accommodation.
​
Base camp (2 days)
​
Our Everest Base Camp is comfortable and well-equipped and will be your home for over a month. Each climber will have their own individual box tent with comfortable mattress and a carpeted floor, giving you plenty of room to spread out. We will gather in our warm triple-skin heated and carpeted dining room for meals, and a separate, similarly outfitted communication and meeting tent with internet facilities.
​
Here you can chill with fellow climbers, watch movies, check email, and stay in touch with home. In addition, it has become a climbing tradition in the Himalayas for all groups to conduct a small Buddhist ceremony (Puja) to offer thanks to the mountain, and to ask for safe passage on the climb.
​
Lobuche East climb (5 days)
​
In preparing for our climb, we will head back down to Lobuche where we set up our Base Camp and High Camp, and also incorporating some basic climbing skills training. This climb is great for acclimatising above 6000m and also allows us to avoid an extra rotation through the Khumbu Icefall.
​
Climb (approx. 34 days)
​
After we settle in at base camp, we will proceed with checking and testing all of our climbing equipment before our first rotation through the higher camps. Our rotations will include spending nights progressively higher on the mountain as we climb and familiarize ourselves with the route. Meanwhile, our Sherpas will set up and stock higher camps (C1-C4) with essential supplies needed for the the climb.
​
As we get ready, we will alternately rest and climb, giving ourselves the preparation necessary for the best chance of success.
​
Once we are well-acclimatised and our camps are set, we will take some extra time to rest up at base camp, before going for the summit.
​
A number of contingency days are also built into our itinerary which may not be required but are an essential inclusion.
​
Pack up and trek to Lukla / Return to Kathmandu (7 days)
After the climb, we will descend to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu, where you will have a few days to relax and chill before returning home.
EVEREST ONE
A GLOBAL RESCUE SAFE TRAVEL PARTNER
Everest One is committed to excellence in every aspect of your trip experience, especially when it comes to safety.
That’s why we are a Global Rescue Safe Travel Partner.
​
There is no denying that life comes with risk.
You never know what is around the corner, and for that reason, you try to protect yourself by managing risk the best you can.
Adventure travel is no different, and obviously it comes with an element of risk.
Whether you are trekking or mountaineering, things do not always go according to plan.
As is the case for most of us in our personal lives, we insure ourselves, our homes, cars and other assets just in case anything goes wrong.
Our trips are no different.
We understand you have invested a lot of time, effort and money in your adventure.
For that very reason, we require each of our clients to obtain suitable travel insurance and evacuation cover (if required) in order to join one of our trips.
We occasionally have guests who need to cancel their trip either before it starts or during the trek or climb for various reasons whether it be injury, illness, personal circumstances, work related commitments or family related issues.
Whatever the reason, it is important that each client is covered for any situation that may arise.
​
The most important thing you can do for yourself is head out on your chosen adventure with peace of mind and focus on the reason you are there.
​
"I have travelled through Nepal, South America, Morocco and Tanzania with Everest One.​ Allan has an amazing team of professional guides and support staff who treat you like family.
With Everest One, I have reached the summit of Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua and I have climbed Mt Everest with Allan, who is a true professional. He was also my head guide on a successful expedition of Lhotse (8516m), the 4th highest mountain in the world.
​
I will again be joining Everest One for a climb of Manaslu (8216m), the 8th highest mountain located in Nepal.
I would not trust anyone else."
