Description
The year is 1953. A British expedition sets out to conquer Everest, that mythical peak that no one has ever conquered before. Today, you are part of the team.

Follow in the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay, the lead Sherpa, and let yourself be guided from the alleys of Kathmandu to a little-known Nepal, filled with temples and steeped in ancestral traditions. As you gain altitude, face freezing cold, thinning air, and storm-swept glaciers. The mountain dictates the rules: every day brings its share of dangers and the unexpected.

Who will reach the summit? Who will return safe and sound? Experience one of the greatest expeditions of the 20th century from the inside out. Get your tickets now!
