Mount Everest is the world highest mountain located in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal which is 8848 meters (29029 feet) above sea level. It is located between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of china. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the "standard route") and the other from the north in Tibet. In the nineteenth century, the mountain was named after George Everest, a former Surveyor General of India. The Tibetan name is Chomolungma, which means "Mother Goddess of the World." The Nepali sanskrit name is Sagarmatha, which means literally "Peak of Heaven" 

Mount Everest attracts many climbers, including highly experienced mountaineers. It requires a lot of experience mountaineering elese where, as well as certificated of good health, equipment, and a trained Nepalese Guide. Most climbers are not accustomed to the high altitude and low oxygen levels and rely / on bottled oxygen they bring along. This is why the area above 8000 meters (2600ft) elevation on Everest is called the "death zone". Climbers who spend long periods in this region can develop altitude sickness and even brain swelling.

Earth scientists estimate that Everest is 50 to 60 million years old, a youngster by geological standars. The first ever recorded people to climb Everest were sir Edmund Hillary (a mountaineer from New Zealand) and his Tibetan guide Tenzing Norgay. They climbed the mountain in 1953 and hold the record together. The weather conditions are extreme on Mount Everest. It was always hard to predict the weather of Mount Everest. The temperature never rises above freezing. So, there is very little native flora and fauna on Everest. The species that animals found are very rare and they are limited. Such as snow leopard, Himalayan bear, Himalayan goral, red panda, Himalayan Tahr etc. Similarly, major plants are birch, juniper, blue pines, firs, bamboo, wild rose, rhododendron, and hemlock etc.

The himalayan mountain have long been home to indigenous groups living in the valleys. The most of these are the Sherpa people. Traditionally, their lifestyle has consisted of farming,herding, and trade. overall, Everest trekking is more than climbing and trekking, it is a life changing experience and many see it as a journey close to achieving Nirvana.
