overview

Mount Everest is located in the eastern part of Nepal, on the border between Nepal and China (Tibet). This region is home to Mount Everest and many other mountains that are over 8,000 meters high. The area is predominantly inhabited by the Sherpa community. According to ancient history, the Sherpa people migrated from Tibet and settled in Nepal. Therefore, Tibetan culture, traditions, and customs can be found throughout this region.

Mount Everest is known by different names:

Sagarmatha (सगरमाथा) in Nepali – “Forehead of the Sky”

Chomolungma in Tibetan – “Goddess Mother of the World” Local Sherpa and Tibetan communities have known and revered the mountain for centuries, long before outsiders tried to measure or climb it.

Discovery by the modern world

In the 19th century, during British surveys of India, the mountain was measured as part of the Great Trigonometrical Survey.

In 1856, it was identified as the highest mountain on Earth

It was named Mount Everest after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor 

Early climbing attempts,

In the 1920s–1930s, British expeditions tried to climb Everest from the Tibet (north) side.

The most famous early climber was George Mallory

In 1924, Mallory and Andrew Irvine disappeared near the summit

👉 To this day, it’s unknown whether they reached the top before dying

First successful ascent (historic moment)

Sir Edmund Hillary (New Zealand) and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa (Nepal)
