It offers a more efficient pathway while maintaining essential standards of safety, acclimatisation, and professional support providing a responsible way for qualified climbers to pursue their Everest goal.

Fast Track Everest mission

Want to climb Everest but struggling with the 50+ days needed to climb in a standard rotation? For experienced climbers we are offering our Fast trak - Everest Climbing package.

The same exceptional care and safety you expect from Elite Exped, but on a time scale to suit you. Many climbers have told us Everest is their dream to climb, but that they cannot take 50+ days away from their family, or their job. So, we have listened and created a Super-Fast package for those experienced athletes and climbers who are ready to achieve their new possible.

You can read the inspiring story of Andrew Ushakov who worked with us to summit Everest in under 4 days. He prepared using hypoxic training, including spending 400+ hours in a hypoxic tent. It shows with the right mindset, training and team behind you, you can achieve your new possible.

Based on a proven approach used in world-record climbs of the highest peak, our unique Fast-Track Everest Expedition offers a significantly accelerated schedule for qualified, experienced climbers. Depending on individual readiness, weather conditions, and acclimatisation needs, the journey can be completed in approximately 14 to 29 days—tremendously faster than the standard Everest expedition, which typically lasts more than a month.
To maximise your chances of success, we will also provide hypoxic training services for eight weeks beforehand at the Altitude Centre - 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 acclimatisation push. This eliminates the wait period at Base Camp experienced by the standard group. Depending on individual requirements and conditions, and only where it does not compromise safety, some climbers may be able to minimise or skip the traditional acclimatisation process on Everest itself.

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
Safreena Latheef
Everest 2025

My Everest rotation was fully tailored to my needs, and my guide was patient, thorough, and consistently prioritised safety. The food at Camp I and II was excellent, the facilities were comfortable, and the camp staff took great care of us. I felt truly well supported throughout the climb.

David Philips
Everest 2025

Guide services, food, and facilities were all top-notch. Elite exceeded all my expectations, and I would be very happy to climb with them again in the future.

Matt Horell
Everest 2025

I always felt safe throughout the climb. Prakash Gurung is an excellent guide, and TJ and the rest of the crew made the experience truly enjoyable. They encouraged us every step of the way and kept us well informed with nightly briefings.

Zoja Skubis
Everest 2025

The logistics throughout the expedition were excellent. I appreciated the support with carrying gear, the quality of the food, and being able to move at my own pace with a guide always matching my rhythm. The logistics in Kathmandu, EBC, and during my rest days were all handled very well. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, and the shared spaces—like the big tent and café—made it easy to relax, bond, and spend quality time with the team.

Brian Buttray
Everst 2025

At each camp, the Elite staff took great care of us—making sure we were well fed, had plenty of hot drinks, and were as comfortable as possible. The overall Elite Expeditions experience has been fantastic. Amenities like the Barista Tent are true difference-makers; even other climbers were jealous when they visited for tea. The entire Base Camp team, led by Mingma David, has been incredibly attentive, friendly, and caring.

Our Fast-Track Everest trek itinerary is informed by decades of mountaineering experience. As with all adventurous activities of this type, however, circumstances may arise where we’re forced to make alterations, possibly at short notice.

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.
