Embark on a unique adventure with Taktok Brothers, designed for those daring to conquer two 8000ers simultaneously – Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse. This expedition involves challenging ascents, navigating high elevations, and sharing a route through the renowned Khumbu icefall up to S-Col (7890m). Climbers have the extraordinary opportunity to achieve dual summits, making this experience truly exceptional.
Mount Everest:
Situated on the border of Nepal and Tibet, Mt. Everest, the world’s highest peak, stands at an awe-inspiring elevation of 8,848.86 meters (29,032 feet) above sea level.
Mount Lhotse:
Positioned just south of Everest, Mt. Lhotse is the fourth-highest mountain globally, towering at an elevation of 8,516 meters (27,940 feet).
The Everest & Lhotse combo expedition demands both physical fitness and mental endurance. Following the route through Khumbu icefall and reaching S-Col, climbers can extend their journey to summit Lhotse after conquering Everest. This rare feat, achieving two 8000-meter peaks in one expedition, requires a high level of determination and perseverance.

Please Note: The trekking and mountain climbing in the Everest Region heavily rely on weather conditions. While we strive to schedule trips during optimal periods, adverse circumstances may lead to delays or cancellations of domestic flights to Lukla. In such instances, additional days beyond the itinerary will be at the client’s expense. However, Taktok Brothers will arrange accommodation for guides and porters. For those interested, we can also organize alternative arrangements like a helicopter flight, subject to a reasonable extra charge, to circumvent flight delays.
Regarding Missed Flights: Taktok Brothers is not liable for compensation due to missed international flights. However, we will assist in making arrangements to mitigate potential losses. To prevent flight mishaps, we recommend maintaining flexible time frames before and after the trip.
Adaptability of Itinerary: As we will navigate remote areas with challenging weather and terrain, there may be necessary adjustments to our itineraries. Be assured that any changes will not compromise the quality of service provided.
The expedition costs can vary based on multiple factors such as group size, seasonal royalty and permit costs, accommodation categories, allocated Sherpa numbers and equipment, package type, and customization. We prefer discussing the specifics with clients before providing a cost estimate. For further details on selected packages, please contact Taktok Brothers for comprehensive information.
