May 14, 2009
Mount Everest is also called Chomolungma or Qomolangma (Tibetan) or Sagarmatha (Nepali) is the highest mountain in the world when measured from the peak up to altitude above sea level, which means that up to 8.848 meters or 29.029 highway. Mountains that are part of the Himalaya mountain range is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal and Tibet, China. This Mountain get this name from the English language name of Sir George Everest. This name given by Sir Andrew Waugh, Surveyor-general nationality of British India, successor of Everest.
The peak of each mountain is the most special part. Mount Everest is a mountain peak with the highest in the world. Located in the Himalaya mountains, the mountains make this border Nepal and China seem so small.
Reputation as a mountain that difficult to climb in the world is clear. Basically there are two paths to the summit, a test even the most experienced climber though - to reach the same peak means you browse the history books where you become one of the rare traveler with a superhuman ability to survive against the cold air and physical challenges in the mountains.
Although the easiest route to the peak found on the side of Nepal, China border is almost exactly the most popular for the climber - a little fact that even trying to climb the peak, although there are many smaller roads and can manage go to parts of the mountain Everest challenge the climber from all levels of their expertise.
The high of Everest mountain almost impossible to understand just by looking at the photos. This original mountain scenery is impressive especially with the view to imagine that they successfully climb this mountain - there are about 2000 climber has successfully done so, most do so in the last ten years. But this does not mean it will become easier - hundreds of people have died tried to find ways to reach the highest peak of Everest Mount , not including stories of the climber who has ascended to the top of the mountain and never returned.
They were the first survivors of “the death zone” in the area were found to be above 24,000 feet, where Hillary write his name as a print record of the first explorers set foot on the summit of Mount Everest.
Indeed difficult, but for many years trying to hold the climber - now with the cost of approximately U.S. $ 70,000 you can join the expedition with a few or even no experience. This adventure, however, extremely dangerous. Climber for every five that leave their marks on the top of Mount Everest, one of them died.
Up to now, for the mountain climber who was climbing Mount Everest that is a good idea remains the exciting debate. Nepal government to climb into this source of revenue for the guide that delivers the climber and costs around U.S. $ 25,000 each person.
This does not mean that Everest is not the location of the interesting tourist destination. The Everest base camp, located near Rosphu temple in rural Tibet, visited by thousands of tourists every year, for those who assume that the origin can be set at the foot of the mountain is already famous as a victory.
So, go to mount Everest, why not? I believe, for you who like challenge, to climb and follow mount Everest expedition is become one of excellent experience!
