Everest Expedition
from Nepal side (8848m)
Mountaineering and trekking in Nepal has relied heavily
on the progress and inspiration developed by various
expeditions to Everest. Much of the attraction of Nepal
in the early days resulted from the discovery that the
highest peak in the world lay within our forbidden and
isolated kingdom. Though it was named Mt Everest by the
Survey of India in 1856 after Sir George Everest
,retired Surveyor-General of India, the peak had been
known by other names long before. Nepalese call it
Sagarmatha, while the Sherpas call it Chomolungma. The
Chinese now call it Qomolangma Feng.
Sagarmatha literally means head of the sky: the name
was invented in 1956 by Babu Ram Acharya, a Nepali
historian. The list of attempts and successes on Everest
is one of the classics of mountaineering history. By
1989 there had been 274 ascents of Everest, including
several by people who had climbed it two or more times.
Today there have been over 1000 ascents of the peak,
with Sherpas having climbed it 10 times. There are now
more than 10 different routes to the top. For a complete
list of Everest ascents and an amazing set of statistics
about climbs on the mountain, see the latest edition of
Everest by Walt Unsworth..
