Mount Everest, also known as Mount Qomolangma, means Mother Goddess of the Universe in Tibetan. On a clear day it presents an astounding vista, particularly from Pang La and Lamma La. Insistence on the use of Qomolangma (Zhumulangma) rather than Mount Everest to label the world's highest peak would have pleased Sir George Everest, who staunchly believed in using local place-names.

Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world. Standing at 8844.43 meters (29017 feet), snow capped throughout the year, she lies at the border between China and Nepal, the North Col of Everest is located in Tinggri (Shegar). Massive glaciers and seracs feature a thrilling splendor. The peak has been a holy climbing attraction for world's mountaineers. In recent years, more and more mountaineers start from the Everest Base Camp trying to conquer the world's highest peak while tourists trek to the foot of the peak to enjoy its beauty.
