Mount Everest – The Roof of the World

Mount Everest, standing at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet), is the tallest mountain on Earth and a dream destination for climbers and adventurers worldwide. Located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas, Everest straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet, with its southern face in Nepal and northern face in Tibet.

Known as “Sagarmatha” in Nepali and “Chomolungma” in Tibetan, Everest is revered as a sacred mountain by locals. The first successful summit was achieved in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, paving the way for thousands of climbers to follow. Today, the Everest Base Camp Trek remains one of the most popular trekking adventures, offering breathtaking views of glaciers, Sherpa villages, and iconic peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam.

The best time to visit Everest for trekking or climbing is during the spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when the weather is stable, and the views are spectacular. Whether trekking to base camp, taking a scenic Everest flight, or attempting the ultimate challenge of summiting the peak, Mount Everest stands as the ultimate symbol of adventure, endurance, and the spirit of exploration.
