SKY TOUCHING MOUNTAINS - MOUNT EVEREST

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, with an elevation of 29,029 feet above sea level. It is located in the Himalayas, on the border between Nepal and China, and is part of the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on each of the seven continents.

Mount Everest was first summited in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal. Since then, it has become a popular destination for experienced climbers, although it is also one of the most dangerous mountains to climb due to its high altitude and harsh weather conditions.

The mountain is named after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor who served as the Surveyor General of India in the 19th century. The mountain was originally called Chomolungma, which means "mother goddess of the universe" in Tibetan, but it was later named Mount Everest in honor of Sir Everest.

Overall, Mount Everest is an iconic and challenging mountain that attracts experienced climbers from all over the world. It is a symbol of human achievement and a testament to the determination and resilience of those who have successfully climbed it.
