EVEREST–LHOTSE JOINT EXPEDITION 2026

One Mission. Two 8000ers. Endless Determination.

In 2026, I am attempting one of the most challenging and prestigious high-altitude missions in the world — a joint expedition to Mount Everest (8,848.86m) and Mount Lhotse (8,516m).

These two Himalayan giants are connected by the legendary South Col, making it one of the rarest and most powerful double-summit attempts in modern mountaineering.

This climb is not just an expedition —It is a test of skill, endurance, and the human spirit.
