## FAQs:Mountain Climbing in Mount Everest

What should I know about Mountain Climbing Mount Everest?

Standing along the Himalayas mountain range is Mount Everest, which at 8,848 meters above sea level, is the highest mountain in the world.

Professional, competent and friendly guide who always takes great care of the clients. We were a group trekking and climbing during 21 days in the Everest region with the company. We were a group of friends who all knew the guide on beforehand, and knew how good he is at his work. We were very pleased with the experience we had. I can recommend the company for everyone who wants a great experience in the Himalayas.
