VVIP Everest

The ultimate mountaineering adventure

Whether it’s smashing the world record for climbing all 14 of the 8,000ers in just six months, or leading the first team ever to stand on K2 in winter, Nimsdai’s experience on the world’s highest mountains is unparalleled. Who better, then, to guide you up the world’s highest peak?

Elite Exped’s VVIP Everest Expedition will see our clients paired directly with our co-founder Nimsdai himself, who will act as your personal guide to the summit and back. Nims’ will be accompanied by two further hand-selected Sherpa guides - effectively trebling our industry-leading guide-to-client ratio. 

Nims will be on hand not just to help you up the mountain, but to help you celebrate afterward, sending out congratulations on his personal social media accounts when you complete the acclimatisation phase of your climb, and again after you reach the summit. For mountaineers wishing to raise their public profile, this kind of exposure is invaluable. 

Exclusivity is the key to our VVIP Everest Expedition. At basecamp, your quarters will be a special luxurious sleeping tent, with your own personal dining tent nearby. After you finish the acclimatisation phase, you’ll be flown directly by private charter helicopter to Kathmandu for some well-earned R&R, before catching a return flight back to basecamp. And of course, when it’s time to make the push towards the high camps, and the summit beyond, you’ll have the best of the best by your side, every step of the way.

Elite Exped tailored VVIP Everest expedition is based on our directors Mingma David, Mingma Tenzi and Nims’ own, hyper-efficient expedition plans - the ones that enabled them to break several world records on this mountain. We tackle Everest from the south - the safer side of the mountain, with higher success rates.

We also take pride in overseeing every step of our own logistical operations. Rather than relying on others, we control everything that can be controlled to ensure that we meet the very highest safety standards. Our directors’ Nepalese heritage and ability to bridge the gap between Western and Himalayan climbing cultures allows us to run every aspect of our operation smoothly, without fear of misunderstandings. The success of our approach is evident in Nimsdai’s own achievements, including his 100 percent success rate on 8,000m climbs. 

As well as being highly-skilled mountaineers, both Nims and our support guides have extensive experience of conducting high-altitude rescue operations. We have evacuation plans and accessible helicopter rescue in place for emergencies. No-one can cater for every eventuality in the world’s most extreme environments, but we can guarantee that you will be in the safest possible hands should something unexpected happen. 

We don’t see our clients as clients - we see them as friends and fellow high-achievers. People who, like us, have made chasing their dreams a priority. We know why you climb because we feel the same way. That means we’ll make sure no stone is left unturned in our quest to help you achieve those dreams. We know how it feels to stand on top of the world. It’s our dream to be able to share that with you.
