Where Hillary and Tenzing Walked
Mount Everest stands at 8,848.86 metres on the Nepal-Tibet border — the official height confirmed jointly by Nepal and China in December 2020. The Sherpa name Sagarmatha means "forehead in the sky". The Tibetan name Chomolungma means "goddess mother of the world". Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit on 29 May 1953.
The Khumbu region — the southern approach — is contained within Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Around 6,000 Sherpa people live across its 1,148 km², in stone villages perched between 2,800 and 4,400 metres. Sherpa Buddhism shapes every trail: prayer flags on every pass, mani walls along every footpath, and the great monasteries of Tengboche and Pangboche.
The Everest Base Camp Trek (14 days) is the most travelled high-altitude trail in the world. From Lukla's mountainside airstrip, trekkers climb through pine forests to the Khumbu Glacier and stand at the foot of the icefall that has launched every Everest expedition since 1953.
