Mount Everest or Mount Everest is also called Chomolungma or Qomolangma (Tibetan) or Sagarmatha (Nepali) is the world’s tallest mountain when measured from the peak height to above the sea, which meant as high as 8.848 meters or 29.029 highway. Mountain which is part of the Himalayas is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal and Tibet, China.

The volcano is getting his English name from the name of Sir George Everest. This name was given by Sir Andrew Waugh, the surveyor-general British India, the successor of Everest.

At the end of 2007 climbing season, has done countless 3.679 2.436 ascent to the summit by a private person, and there have been 210 deaths on the mountain because the condition is very difficult and his body was often left alone in there where he fell.

The top of each mountain is the most special. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain peaks in the world. Located in the Himalayas, these mountains make the border of Nepal and China seems so small.

Radhanath Sikdar, surveyors and mathematicians from Bengal, was the first state summit of Mount Everest as the highest peak in 1852 through trigonometric calculations. This calculation is done using teodolitdari distance of 150 miles away in India. Most of the people of India believe that the peak should be named according to Sikdar, not Everest.

The altitude reaches 29,035 feet (8850 m) which has been determined using GPS satellite equipment on 5 May 1999. It was previously believed to be slightly low at 29,028 feet (8,848 meters), established in 1954 with an average size of several sites around the mountain. The new elevation has been confirmed by the National Geographic Society.

His reputation as the hardest mountain climb in the world is clear. Basically there are two paths to the summit, which tested even the most experienced climbers – reached the top just means you browse the history books where you become one of the rare explorers with a superhuman ability to survive against the cold air and physical challenges in the mountains.

Although the easiest route to the summit was found on the side of Nepal, China border which is almost precisely the most popular for hikers – a little fact that even trying to climb up the peak, although there are many roads that are smaller and can be managed toward the parts of a challenging mountain Everest hikers of all levels of expertise.

The high Mount Everest is almost impossible to understand just by looking at the pictures. The original scenery of the mountain is indeed impressive to see it let alone imagine those who managed to climb this mountain – there are about 2,000 climbers have managed to do, most do so in the last ten years.

But this does not mean it is becoming easier – Hundreds of people have died trying to find a way to reach the highest peak of Mount Everest, not including anecdotes and stories of the climbers who have climbed to the top of the mountain and never returned.

Fatigue is the main reason that the cause of most of the climbers were forced to return home, but on May 29, 1953, the couple’s first successful climber set foot on the highest peak of Mount Everest. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the highest peak, begin the adventure for miles under the Nepal side.

They are the first survivors of “the death zone” (zone of death) that is areas that are found above 24,000 feet, where Hillary wrote his name a record as the first explorers to set foot on the summit of Mount Everest.

It’s hard, but for years the climbers continue to try – now costs about 70,000 U.S. $ you can join an expedition with little or no experience though. This adventure, however, very, very dangerous. For every five climbers who left their mark on the top of Mount Everest, one of whom died.

To this day for the mountaineers who feel that climbing Everest is a good idea remains a debate. For the government of Nepal is a source of revenue climbing for the guide who led the climbers and costs around 25,000 U.S. $ per person.

This does not mean that Everest is not an attractive tourist destination. The Everest base camp, located near the temple Rosphu in rural areas of Tibet, visited by thousands of tourists every year, for those who think that the origin can set foot on this famous mountain is already a victory.
