Adrenaline junkies looking for a challenging expedition on a mountain would be thrilled to know the top mountains to climb in this world. By climbing, we mean the one involving ropes and harnesses.
Matterhorn
Starting the list is a mountain that caters to climbers of all levels. This mountain in The Alps boasts great icy backgrounds and wide green fields. The routes can get a little challenging. Beginners are advised to hire a guide who knows the place. One climb eats up five to six days. Best climbing times are from July to September.
Kilimanjaro
Although this climb does not require climbing equipment, the route is just as challenging as the mountains in this list. Experienced climbers recommend this site in Tanzania because of its view: climbers can see Earth's curvature. One climb takes 10 days.
Khuiten
Head over to Mongolia and enjoy a climb to one of the world's least accessible peaks. Climbers must even hire camels to carry some of the camping stuff for a one-day trek to the base camp. Together with other experienced climbers, visitors must spend 15 days to experience the challenging crevasses of Mount Khuiten.
Elbrus
Russia offers a great experience for climbers who want a climb that involves ice. The white, snowy caps surrounding the adventurers once they arrive at the mountain peak is a fantastic view to behold. One whole climbing experience would take 12 days. Seven days are just for climbing. Experts recommend climbing from July to early September.
Everest
Of course, Everest has got to be on the list. This summit in the Himalayas is unarguably the highest mountain peak in the whole world. However, one who plans on climbing it must be really prepared for the journey. It is no secret that hundreds of people have already died trying to climb the mountain. Interested parties must set aside 18 days for the trip.
