Adventure of Mount Everest



 Mount Everest is the most famous mountain peak in the Himalayas. The Mount Everest rises up to a height of 8,848m above the sea level. It has been known to the world since the early 1950’s when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay first climbed to its awesome summit. 
Approximately 6,000 climbers have attempted the summit of Everest, but only 2,249 have made it. Over 200 people have died trying and at least 120 bodies are still missing on the mountains.

Mount Everest is just one of over 30 peaks in the Himalayas. The Everest Base Camp is the starting area for summit attempts. Mount Everest is the popular place to visit for trekking holidays. 

Mountain trekking is a part of new type of adventure tourism. You can see majestic water falls where people used to admire the nature. Mount Everest has two main climbing routes, the southeast ridge from Nepal and the Northeast ridge from Tibet. Of the two main routes the southeast ridge is technically easier and is more frequently used.



Pay a trip to Mount Everest and truly enjoy the beauty of nature.
