Aimed at climbers who’ve made multiple ascents of 6,000m and 7,000m peaks, as well as one 8,000er, and are already proficient in basic mountaineering skills - including moving safely in moderate rock, glacier and snowy terrain.

Climb like a record-breaker, to the top of the world

Based on our leader Nimsdai’s approach to climbing the world’s highest mountain at world record speed and returning safely, our unique Fast-Track Everest expedition enables you to reach the summit in just 29 days — a full month faster than our standard Everest expedition.

Our industry-leading expertise in the Himalayas isn’t based on speed alone. It’s been accumulated over many years of guiding on these mountains in all conditions. We control every aspect of the expedition, to ensure that we achieve the highest standards without compromising on safety.

Our Everest guides are summit veterans, skilled in rope fixing, icefall navigation, and high-altitude rescue. With a 1:1 guide ratio and emergency helicopter access, we prioritize your safety on this unforgiving climb.

To maximize your chances of success, we will also provide hypoxic training services for eight weeks beforehand at the Altitude Center - the UK’s best training centre. You will receive kits from the UK's number one altitude training specialists with online consultation and individual training programmes tailored towards you. All of this will ensure that you can have a better rest and recover at lower oxygen levels as per the expedition conditions.

You’ll also join the group later, after everything is set up and the team is ready for the acclimatization push. This eliminates the wait period at Base Camp experienced by the standard group.

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, taking time out of their demanding work schedules to do so. 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 in double-quick time. We know how it feels to stand on top of the world. It’s our dream to be able to share that with you.

From our clients

You can trust them with the safety and satisfaction of clients. Elite was nothing less than a 10/10 in every aspect of how they executed the expedition.

Steve Davis
Manaslu 2019

Manaslu was my first 8,000er and first time with Elite. They exceeded my expectations at every level and stage.  I would have no hesitation in booking with them again! Highly recommended!!!

Amy McCulloch
Aconcagua 2018

I often felt they went above and beyond to ensure we had a successful expedition. Excellent judgments throughout the expedition led us to reach the summit safely in extreme conditions. Highly recommend!

Combo Packages

Mount Everest is undoubtedly on the bucket list of every climber. Who wouldn't want to conquer the highest mountain on the planet? But the most dedicated and skilled mountaineers won’t want to stop there, of course, which is where Elite Exped’s combo packages come in. This expedition offers you the chance to bag two 8,000m summits - the first and fourth-highest mountains in the world - in a single climbing season. For high achievers, goals don’t come much greater than this.

K2 isn’t nicknamed “the savage mountain” for nothing. The world’s second highest peak is arguably the toughest challenge in mountaineering. For a long time it was considered unconquerable, and most climbers will still leave at least 60 days for a summit bid. At Elite Exped, we understand that such timescales are often incompatible with modern, professional careers, which is why we launched our fast-track K2 expedition. We can help you conquer the savage mountain in half the time.

8000m Peaks

K2 isn’t nicknamed “the savage mountain” for nothing. The world’s second-highest peak is arguably the toughest challenge in mountaineering. For a long time, it was considered unconquerable and the number of successful expeditions was very low.
