Expedition in Nepal

Being home to eight out of fourteen summits above 8000 metres, Nepal is a wonderful destination for Mountain Expedition. We organise mountain expeditions through our sister concern Adventure United Treks (P) Ltd in various mountains including Everest, Ama Dublam, Lhotse, Annapurna, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Kanchenjunga, Pumori and Nuptse, among others. 
Depending on the difficulty level of the expedition, a mountaineer planning to venture on an expedition, should have prior experience in addition to sound mental and physical health. Special gears and equipments, a permission from the government and skilled mountain guides and porters are necessary for mountain expeditions.
We have a team of experienced mountain guides, porters, Sherpas and other manpower required for the expedition. We arrange for the necessary gears and the permits required for the expeditions. Expeditions are organised generally in groups during two seasons, Autumn and Spring, of the year. Individual expedition can also be organised on the request of a client. 
Royalty: The government charges a royalty for expeditions in the mountains above 7000 metres. The amount of Royalty changes from time to time and the government offers discounts in some of the seasons. The following data gives a rough idea of the Royalties.
(1) In Mount Everest Expedition, south east ridge normal route Royalty of US$ 70,000 has been fixed for a team of 7 members. US $ 80,000 is charged for a team of up to 12 members.
(2) Route south pillar Everest, south west face south west face (Central Pillar) royalty up to 7 members US$ 50,000 and the may include 5 more members provided it pays extra US$ 10,000 for each additional member.
(3) The team already permitted to scale Everest will have to pay US$ 10,000 if it intends to change the ascent route. It will have to pay additional US$ 20,000 if it intends to change the ascent route to normal south east ridge route.
(4) Garbage deposit US$ 4,000 each team. Expedition team must complete all necessary administrative formalities and procedures in order to send back the garbage of the expedition team to their respective countries, after the completion of the expedition. Ministry of Tourism & Civil Aviation will take necessary monetary deposit from the team which will be refunded after the dispatch of garbage from Nepal.
