Mount Everest
The world's highest mountain, 8,848.86m, on the Nepal-Tibet border.
Mount Everest, called Sagarmatha in Nepali, is the world's highest mountain at 8,848.86m, a figure Nepal and China jointly confirmed by survey in December 2020. The summit sits on the border between Nepal's Solukhumbu district and the Tibet Autonomous Region.
The mountain itself is the destination the Everest Base Camp Trek is named for, though the trek's actual endpoint, Everest Base Camp at 5,364m, is a separate viewing point rather than the summit. This entry covers the mountain itself, distinct from the Base Camp destination.
