Mount Everest Expedition
Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world which stands at a height of 8,848m from the sea level. It is situated in the Northern part of Nepal and stands as a border in between Nepal and Tibet. Though the Northern part lies on Tibet from where the escalating is almost impossible, all the expeditions to Everest are done from the Nepalese side which is the South East Ridge Route. It is named under the name of Sir George Everest, the surveyor-general of India, whereas it is known as Sagarmatha (Head high as sky) in Nepal and is known as Chomolungma in Tibet. The first people to climb the Everest were Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal.
