About
Mount Everest (Sagarmatha)
Mount Everest, known as Sagarmatha in Nepali and Chomolungma in Tibetan, is the highest mountain on Earth. Its pyramid-shaped peak dominates the Khumbu region and has captured the human imagination for centuries. Climbing Everest remains the ultimate mountaineering achievement, though luxury trekkers can experience its grandeur from Base Camp and Kala Patthar without summiting.
