This mountain get their 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 part of the most special. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain peaks in the world. Located in the mountains of the Himalayas, these mountains make the border of Nepal and China seem so small.
Radhanath Sikdar, mathematician and surveyor from Bengal, was the first state as the highest peak Mount Everest through trigonometric calculations in 1852. This calculation is done using teodolitdari distance of 150 miles away in India. Most of the people of India believe that these peaks should be named according to Sikdar, not Everest.
The altitude reached 29,035 feet (8850 m) which has been determined by using GPS satellite equipment on 5 May 1999. Which was believed to slightly low at 29,028 feet (8848 m), which established in 1954 with an average size of a few places around the mountain. The new height was 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 tests even the most seasoned climbers reached the top just means you browse the history books where you become one of the explorers rare with a superhuman ability to survive against the cold air and physical challenges that is in the mountains.
Although the easiest route to the summit was found on the Nepalese side, the Chinese border almost exactly the most popular among climbers - a little fact that even tried to climb to the summit, although there are many smaller roads and more to dimanage toward the parts of a challenging mountain Everest the climbers of all skill levels.
The high Mount Everest is almost impossible to understand just by looking at the pictures. Original views of the mountain is indeed impressive to see them let alone imagine a successful 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 ways to reach the highest peak of Mount Everest, not including anecdotes and stories of the climbers who have climbed to the summit of the mountain and never returned.
Fatigue is the main reason that most causes 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 summit, starting adventure for miles under the Nepal side.
They were the first survivors of "the death zone" (zone of death) that is found in the area is above 24,000 feet, where Hillary write his name a record as the first explorers set foot on the summit of Mount Everest.
It is difficult, but for years the climbers continue to try now at a cost of U.S. $ 70,000 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 mountain climbers who feel that climbing Mount Everest is a good idea remains a fierce debate. For climbing Nepal government is a source of revenue for the guides who accompanied the climbers and costs around 25,000 U.S. $ per person.
This does not mean that Everest is not an attractive tourist destination location. 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 to set foot on the famous mountain is already a victory.
