Mount Everest
or Mount Qomolangma, meaning "Goddess" in Tibetan is the highest mountain on earth with an altitude of 8,848.13 metres. Mt. Qomolangma known to the western world as Mt. Everest stands at the south of Tingri county in southern Tibet, at the border of the central Himalayas between China and Nepal, capped with accumulated eternal snow. Its snow peak sends out silver radiance year after year. Its waist is hidden in the clouds. The optimum weather to visit Mt. Everest is from April to June, a golden period for mountaineers. Each year, a great number of brave robust mountaineers come from all over the world to visit and climb Mt. Everest, hope to fulfill a life-long dream by climbing onto and looking over from the world's highest peak. Mount Everest is in fact a part of the Himalaya Mountain. The Himalaya mountain is situated near the border with Tibet. Mt Everest got its name after the person (Sir George Everest) that first tried to locate the exact position of the peak. Until then, it was named simply “Peak XV”. You should know that there are four available camps, situated at heights of 6,100m, 6,500m, 7,400m and 8,000m and of course the summit, at 8850m. Here, at the summit, you can expect temperatures of minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but if you have luck the temperature can reach also minus 15degrees Fahrenheit. But the real problem Our Clients in Mt. Everest Base Camp for the climbers is notthe low temperature, but the reduced level of oxygen of the air, because of the high altitude. The climbers need to go through a process called acclimatization. They have a camp at the base of the mount. They climb for some hundred feet and then they go down again, to rest. The idea is to get used better and safer with the low level of oxygen and then get fresh oxygen. And also every time they go down again, they have the chance to get some proper sleep and eat food. source: www.topchinatravel.com

It was, and is, the destination of special Buddhist pilgrimages where annual ceremonies are held for spectators coming from as far as Nepal and Mongolia. These ceremonies were shared with the satellite monasteries across the Himalaya also founded by the Rongbuk Lama. source: www.topchinatravel.com
