Mount Everest, known locally as Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet, is the ultimate dream for mountaineers around the globe. Standing at an awe-inspiring 8,848.86 meters (29,032 feet), Everest straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet, offering a breathtaking adventure to those who dare to conquer its summit.
Located within the Mahalangur Range of the Himalayas, Everest’s towering presence has captured imaginations for centuries. Its many names reflect its significance across cultures—Sagarmatha, meaning “Peak of Heaven,” and Chomolungma, translating to “Goddess Mother of the World.” Officially identified as Peak XV during India’s trigonometrical survey, it was later named after George Everest, the 18th-century Surveyor General of India.
A Rich Climbing Legacy
The story of Everest is steeped in history. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa achieved the first successful summit on May 29, 1953, marking a milestone in human exploration. Since then, countless adventurers have followed in their footsteps, driven by the allure of standing on top of the world.
Everest is also home to the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with stunning flora and fauna. From dense pine and rhododendron forests to rare wildlife like the snow leopard, red panda, and Himalayan black bear, the park adds a unique natural dimension to the Everest experience.
Your safety is our highest priority. With decades of experience in high-altitude rescue operations and advanced evacuation plans, we ensure you’re in capable hands throughout the climb.
