As, it’s very common and well known to all of us that Mount Everest is the highest peak of the world. The official height of Mount Everest is 29,035 feet or 8,848 meters. It lies on the boarder of Nepal to the south and China or Tibet to the north but it is known that the Sagarmatha of Nepal. After the discovery of the highest peak of the world Mount Everest in 1865 AD it was given official English name by the Royal Geographical society, upon the recommendation by Andrew Waugh the British Surveyor General of India. There are many names of Mount Everest Nepalese people knows it as Sagarmatha, Tibetan people knows as Chomolungma and Mount Everest is itself popular official English name on whole over the world. As for the meaning Sagarmatha means the goddess of sky and Chomolungma means the goddess of the universe. By the long scientific researches, it’s said that Mount Everest is formed 60 million years ago. Mount Everest was formed by the movement of Indian tectonic plate pushing up and against the Asian plate. By the long study of Mount Everest it is proved that Mount Everest grows by quarterly of an inch (0.25) every year. Mount Everest is formed by the different types of Shale, Limestone, and marbles. The Limestone and Sandstone rock at the summit of the mountain was once part of the sedimentary layer below sea level before 450 million years ago. And this rocky highest summit is cover with deep snow for whole of the year. Though it is said that the height of the highest peak Mount Everest is 8,848m high but China claim’s that the height of Mount Everest is only 8,844m high.

Local indigenous people were the first to see the highest mountain Mount Everest though but they were first to see it but a British survey team lead by Sir George Everest indentified Mount Everest in 1841 AD. Mount Everest was first named peak 15 and measured as 29,002ft in 1856 AD. In 1995 AD the height was lately measured to 29,028 ft and after that Nepal hasn’t measured the height. Still today Nepal is using the same height measured in 1995 AD. But on 1999 AD using GPS technology Mount Everest was measured 29,035 feet and 8,850m but there is no ground to prove that the satellite measurement is accurate. On the present situation due to the earthquake of 2015 AD, Nepal has already started to measure the height of Mount Everest from 2017 AD and it will be finished on 2020 AD. The weather and climate of Mount Everest is one of the extremes. The temperature of the summit can be -80F. The wind speed of Everest can reach up to 200mph or 321.869 km/hr.

It takes 40 days to climb the Mount Everest in order for the body to adjust to the high attitude. Despite, there are lots of climbers on Mount Everest so while climbing on the base camp of Everest there are tons and tons of wastage so to tackle these problems the government of Nepal has issued the new rule that climbers must bring the 8kg of waste disposal back otherwise the climber will lose their $4000 of deposit. There are 18 different climbing routes of Mount Everest. The nylon ropes are used while climbing the Mount Everest to keep climber safe from falling. Climbers also uses spikes on the boots called crampons. They also use ice axes to help stop a fall. Being a coldest place they use a thick puffy, suits filled with goose feathers to keep the climbers warm. Most climbers eat a lot of noodles and rice for climbing. Almost all the climbers use bottled oxygen to keep the climbers warm because it’s too high. Climbers start to use bottled oxygen above 2600 feet. There are some rules and criteria for climbing the Mount Everest from the side of Nepal the climber should be 16 years above and from the side of China the climber should be 18 years to 60 years.

The first attempt to climb Mount Everest was by British Expedition from North Tibet side in 1921 AD and the first person to reach the top of Mount Everest was Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa from Nepal. They climbed from the South side on May 29, 1953 AD. The Chinese climbers climbed from the North side the summit was on May 25 1960 AD. The youngest person to summit the peak was from America, Jordan Romero of 13 years and 11 months on May 20, 2010 AD and the oldest person Japanese Miura Yiuchiro at the age of 80 on May23 2013 AD. Babu chiri Sherpa is the first person to spend the night on the summit in 1999 AD. The first person to climb Everest without bottled oxygen was Italian Reinhold Messner with Peter Habler in 1978 AD. The first female climber to summit Everest was Junko Tabei of Japan in 1975 AD. The youngest women to summit Everest was from India Malavath Pooran, 13 years 11 month on 2014 from North side. There are many Nepalese people to hold the record to climb more times 21 times.

Most of the bodies are still there now but china has removed from sight. They die due to fall, attitude sickness and exposure. Sherpa is the caste of the people of Nepal who are migrated from Tibet several hundreds of years ago.

As forwardly being a tourism country Nepal it is vastly established the seasons for trekking Himalayan regions as the time for visiting the Nepal Himalaya are especially October – December and April – June.

As your choice you can choose the time for a trekking as you like.

Despite, it will be cold but we can backup using the thick cloths and itself you will warm after starting a trekking journey upper attitude more than 3000 ft it starts snowfall but we can use thick and anti cold clothes and you will be provided a heater and fire lightings facilities. If you target to go on the month of April to June, it can be pretty hot but not a lot due to higher attitude you can travel journey normally. During this season there will be less numbers of trekkers comparing to the winter season. Not only this but after you reach above 4500ft high you can see the flowers blooming and greenery.

What is Altitude Sickness(disease)and how to Overcome it ?

Last Updated on December 13, 2017 by Treks Planner Nepal

Putting someone, down is the best way to treat plateau disease, but this is not easy. “Prevention is crucial because once these changes occur at such extreme heights, it is difficult to help someone lower the altitude,” Weiss said. He said that climbing downhill is more difficult than climbing up because it is often necessary to increase coordination and technical capacity. Other factors, such as depletion, dehydration and insufficient supply of oxygen, can increase the difficulty. People who experience altitude sickness may also be trying to walk, or they may be unconscious, Weiss said.
Some medications may help prevent and treat partially the buildup of fluid in the brain, but in the treatment of ineffective pulmonary fluid accumulation. Supplemental oxygen may help, but not always available.
In Nepal, in 1989, Weiss and his colleagues at Stanford University Dr. Kenza Fulun were also the first to test people who might otherwise treat people with severe disease on the plateau known such as gamma packs. It looks like a sleeping bag enclosed like an inflatable bag that can essentially create a low atmosphere for the people inside. Use a foot pump to inflate the bag and produce a higher pressure externally. The degree to which this bag can be simulated depends on where it is used. According to a manual provided by the American Mountain Guide Association, at the top of Mount Everest, it can simulate about 9,195 feet (2800 meters) of blood. Weiss said the bag was helpful, but it was not practical to use it at the summit of Everest because it was almost 13 pounds. (6 kg) requires a lot of physical effort to expand and maintain inflation at extreme altitudes. We need better preparation for the any disease.
