Expedition Everest takes place inside the fictional Forbidden Mountain, one of the seven peaks of the Himalayas. At the foot of the mountain lies the village of Serka Zong. In previous times, the village's economy was supported by a local tea plantation. When guests see the village however, they will notice that the plantation has been boarded up, and the trains which once transported the tea have stopped running. Although the cause of the closures is not known, local villagers believe that the Yeti has stopped the trade, and they have built various monuments to the creature in an attempt to content pacify it. Long after the tea trade had left the area, Norbu and Bob refurbished the buildings to fit their new business- Himalayan Escapes: Tours and Expeditions. The new company took guests into the Himalayan Mountains for adventures adventure and thrills.

The queue for Expedition Everest begins in the Himalayan Escape's booking office. The structure that houses the office was formally the headquarters for the Royal Anadapur Tea Company. The office is littered with old furniture and appliances, as well as a board which shows the whereabouts of the current tours. After passing through the booking office, guests pass by a ravished courtyard before reaching the Yeti Mandir. The Mandir is small temple which has been dedicated to the yeti as a sign of respect. The structure is decorated with various carvings and bells, as well as a . A plaque on the Mandir states:

{{Quotation| WELCOME TO THE YETI MUSEUM- DEDICATED TO THE SERIOUS STUDY OF THE SCIENTIFIC AD AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF THE MYSTERIOUS CREATURE KNOWN AND REVERED THROUGHOUT THE HIMALAYAS AS THE YETI.}}

Expedition Everest begins as the train pulls out of the station, and goes down a small drop. On route to the mountains, various birds can be heard in the distance. The train then goes down another drop as it passes a waterfall. After crossing flatlands , the train takes a sharp turn before starting up into the mountain. As guests go up the incline, they can see a ceremonial stairway which leads to an ancient temple that guests then pass under. From inside the temple, the sound of drums, gongs, and horns seem to indicate that some sort of ceremony is taking place. On the wall beneath the temple, guests can see mural of the mythical Yeti, which seems appears to indicate tell that the temple itself is dedicated to the creature. After reaching the top of the incline (110 ft. in the air), guests travel across the mountain's crest before curving downhill into a cavern. When guests pop out of the cavern, they begin climbing when the train stops suddenly. The tracks look as if they have been ripped apart, so the train cannot continue forward. As the train sits stationary, guests can see the footprints of a large creature in the nearby snow. While stopped, a large Audio Animatronic bird appears near the end of the tracks. Although still not moving, the train suddenly begins to shake and rattle. It seems that the pull of gravity is too much for the train's brakes, and the vehicle begins to fall back down into the ice cavern. After going back deep into the mountain, the train once again stops. At this stop, guests can see the shadow of the Yeti, as he rips up more train tracks. After getting a glimpse of the creature, the train begins to move, this time once again traveling forward. As it exits the cave, the train goes down an 80 foot drop, before traveling through a forest and back into another cave. After passing through this cave, guests emerge on the opposite side of the mountain. Here, the train goes through another forest before entering a dark cavern. On a perch above the track, guests finally come face to face with the Yeti, who reaches out to grab them. After barely making it out of the cave, the train arrives back at the station, ending the ride.
