Mount Everest

Towering at the world’s highest 8,848.86 meters, Everest—Sagarmatha in Nepali, Chomolungma in Tibetan—is Nepal’s crown jewel, luring climbers, trekkers, and dreamers to its icy flanks. It anchors Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Khumbu region thrives on Everest-driven tourism, powering local economies and sustaining Sherpa livelihoods. Both sacred and sublime, Everest is revered in local lore and Buddhist tradition.
