Everest Region

Mount Everest, the crown jewel of the Himalayas and Earth’s highest peak, stands tall at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level. Located on the Nepal-Tibet border, it has captivated adventurers and explorers for decades. Everest’s majestic allure is matched only by its treacherous conditions, with freezing temperatures, fierce winds, and low oxygen levels at its summit. The first successful ascent was made by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. Since then, it has drawn climbers from around the world, each seeking to conquer its challenging terrain and earn a place in mountaineering history, making Everest an iconic symbol of human determination and endurance.
