Mount Everest is a symbol of Nepal and Nepali identity in the world. Nepal and Everest have become synonymous. Moreover, climbing Mt. Everest is becoming the lifeline of Nepal's tourism. On May 29, 1953, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Mt. Everest for the first time in history at an altitude of 8,848 meters. There have been instances of climbing Mt. Everest at the youngest age, the youngest and most often, in the shortest time, even without oxygen. The peak, which was previously considered 8,848 meters high, is the highest point on earth and has now announced a new official measurement of mountains height on eighth of December 2020: 8,848.86 meters, or 29,031.69 feet. This is an official announcement by Nepal and China, the two countries that share a border on Mount Everest In 1954, the 'Survey of India' measured the height of Mount Everest. Since then, various organizations have measured the height of Mount Everest at different times, but the height measured by the 'Survey of India' was still considered official. Similarly, in 1999, The United States and in 2005, China measured the height of Mount Everest. There was different results on their measurements. After the international discussion started saying that the height of Everest may have changed due to the earthquake of 2015 AD, Nepal had announced to measure the height of Everest with its own resources. The Everest Measurement Team measured Everest using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology. This technology is considered to be the most advanced technology. Not only sophisticated technology but also traditional technology was used to measure the height. Long before Nepal named the peak Mount Everest (SAGARMATHA), the Tibetans named it CHOH-moh-LUHNG-m. SAGARMATHA in Nepali means GODDESS OF THE SKY.

Hello Bal!
It's your SJ mentor.
I hope you doing well.
Thank you for sharing your report regarding Mount Everest.
Before the pandemic of the COVID-19, many people visited Nepal to climb the Himalayas.
I heard that trash from tourists is causing environmental pollution.
Are there any solutions for disposing wastes properly in higher area?
I have also heard that due to the movement of the earth's crust, the height of Everest is rising.
Thanks for nice report. I will root for you the whole time.
Best regards,
SJ mentor.

Hello Bal,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Warm greetings from South Korea.
Thank you for sharing such an interesting report about Mount Everest.
I read an article, and according to it, the people had to collect the trashes produced by the climers, and it was about 11 tons.
And also I heard that its height increased by 1 meter in 60 years.
Tourism is nice to show the snow scene, but there's need to care and control the pollution too.
Hopefully the people take care more of the mountain, so your country can maintain the beautiful ecosystem.
I would like to know how the Mt. Everest has impacted the ecosystem of you country too.
Regards,
WooJoo

Hello Balkrishna brother,
Green Cheers
We Nepalese are so proud of Mt. Everest. Increase in few centimeteres in height came as a suprise to me but I am so happy to witness that our national pride is getting taller day by day. Thanks for the report.
Regards,
Sagar Koirala
