The requirement of time varies depending on the various agencies, weather conditions and the approach. In general, climbing Mount Everest takes anywhere around two months or a little more. This includes time for gathering supplies, trekking to the base camp from Lukla, acclimatization to the altitudes, and ultimately reaching the summit.

Getting acclimatized at different elevations is very important for a successful climb. Thus, you will be spending few days at the base camp before climbing higher. Similarly, you will also spend few days at camp 1, camp 2, camp 3 and camp 4 before actually getting to the top.

Himalayan Glacier’s Everest expedition itinerary requires 70 days to complete the adventure, the first day being your arrival day while the next two days will be preparation day in Kathmandu. Day 69 will be the day you fly back to Kathmandu from Lukla and day 70 is the day you will return home. The total climbing days excluding the days required for trekking up to the base camp and acclimatizing there begins on day 19 and ends on day 64. So, reaching the top from the base camp requires 45 days in total including several acclimatization days in the high camps.
