Description
It’s 1953. A British expedition sets out to conquer Everest, the legendary peak that no one has ever conquered before. Today, you are part of the team.
Follow in the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay, the leader of the sherpas, and let yourself be guided from the streets of Kathmandu to a little-known Nepal, dotted with temples and steeped in ancient traditions. As you gain altitude, face freezing temperatures, thinning air, and glaciers battered by storms. The mountain dictates its law: each day brings new dangers and unforeseen challenges.
Who will reach the summit? Who will return safely? Live one of the greatest expeditions of the 20th century from the inside. Sign up on the waitlist today!
