Mount Everest, located on the border between Nepal and China in the Himalayas, is the highest point on Earth at 8,848 meters above sea level. This majestic peak is sacred to locals, known as "Sagarmatha" in Nepalese and "Chomolungma" in Tibetan. Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first conquered it in 1953, around 3,000 people have reached the summit. The best time to visit is from April to early June or September to November, when weather conditions are most favorable. To start the journey, visitors fly to Kathmandu, then travel to Lukla before beginning a 14-day hike to Everest Base Camp. This trek includes essential stops to adjust to the high altitude. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
