Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth, with its summit reaching an elevation of 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level. It is located in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
Mount Everest is a part of the larger Himalayan mountain range, which stretches across several countries in South Asia. The mountain's name in Nepali is Sagarmatha, which means "Goddess of the Sky," and in Tibetan, it is called Chomolungma, meaning "Goddess Mother of the World."

The first confirmed ascent of Mount Everest was achieved by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, on May 29, 1953, via the Southeast Ridge route. Since then, thousands of climbers from around the world have attempted to reach the summit, with varying degrees of success.

Climbing Mount Everest is a formidable challenge due to its extreme altitude, unpredictable weather, and technical difficulties. The high altitude poses significant risks, including altitude sickness, frostbite, and avalanches. Despite these dangers, climbers are drawn to Everest for the ultimate test of their physical and mental endurance.

In recent years, concerns have been raised about overcrowding and environmental degradation on the mountain, as well as the commercialization of Everest expeditions. Efforts are being made to address these issues and ensure the sustainability of mountaineering in the Everest region.

Mount Everest continues to be an iconic symbol of human ambition and exploration, attracting adventurers and dreamers from all corners of the globe.

Mount Elgon
Place » Mountain

Mount Elgon is an extinct shield volcano on the border of Uganda and Kenya, north of Kisumu and west of Kitale. The mountain's highest point, named "Wagagai", is located entirely within Uganda. Mt Elgon was once Africa’s highest mountain, far exceeding Kilimanjaro’s current 5,895m. Millennia of erosion have reduced its height to 4,321m, relegating it to the 4th highest peak in East Africa and 8th on the continent.
