Everest Expedition

Mount Everest is locally known as Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma by the Sherpa and Tibetan people. Its climbing history dates to 1921, when the first Everest expedition team could reach 7000 meters from the Tibet side. In 1924 Everest expedition, two climbers, Leigh Mallory and Andrew Irvine perished 500 meters below the Tibet side’s summit. Still today, it is a topic of discussion whether they reached the summit or not. However, it remains one of the biggest mysteries in climbing history. There were several unsuccessful attempts between 1921 and 1952. But, finally on 29 May 1953, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary summited Everest through the southeast Nepali side. Since then, the climbers have been attracted to Mount Everest.
