Mount Everest

Mount Everest, also called Chomolungma or Qomolangma in Tibetan or Sagarmatha in Nepali is the premier mountain on Earth, as calculated by the height of its peak above sea level, comes to 8,848 m or 29,028 ft. The mountain, that constitutes a part of the Himalaya
range in Asia, it s positioned on the edge amid Sagarmatha Zone (Nepal) as well as Tibet (China). The popularity of Mount Everest amongst climbers can be estimated from the fact that by the end of the 2007 climbing season about 3,679 ascents had been undertaken to the summit by about 2,436 individuals. However the death toll has been reported to have been around 210 fatalities on the mountain, wherein conditions are so complex that most corpses have been left as and where they fell; of which some are noticeable from customary climbing routes. The climbers who undertake the journey to the pinnacle of Mount Everest vary from qualified mountaineers to comparative beginners who are dependent upon their paid guides to reach onto the top. This is why, the climbers form an important source of tourist revenue for Nepal, wherein the local government also necessitates all the potential climbers to get hold of a costly sanction, with the price tag of up to $25,000 (USD) for each individual.
