Mt. Everest is the highest mountain in the world which represents the highest spot on the earth’s surface. Its summit reaches a peak of 29,029 feet (8,848 m). This natural wonder is located in the Himalaya Mountains on the border between Nepal and Tibet. It is also known as Sagarmatha and Chomolungma. Travelers can experience Mount Everest by trekking to the base of the mountain. They can even climb to the upper base camp, but this experience is costly as the Nepalese government requires potential climbers to purchase a $25,000USD climbing permit. The first official ascent of Everest was made by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund
