The New Height of Mount Everest
The new height of Mount Everest is now 8848.86 (29,031.69 ft), growing 0.86 higher than previously recognized, and Mount Everest sets a new record. So if someone asks you how tall Mount Everest then, don’t answer it's 8848m (29,028 ft), because it’s not. The previously widely recognized height was decided by the survey of India in 1954. This was the first time Nepal has successfully conducted the measurement of the summit. In Nepal, Mount Everest is known as “Sagarmatha”, and “Chomolungma” in Tibet which means “Mother Goddess of Nature”. It is located in one of the most visited regions of Nepal, the Khumbu region which is in the Solukhumbu district. In other words, you can say, Khumbu region beholds the dream of every mountain lover and mountain expert. Thus, if you are a true mountain seeker and enthusiastic traveler, then you can join our 15 days Everest Base Camp Trek which presents you with a remarkable world-renowned favorite excursion to Mount Everest Base Camp, with a complete adventure trek, adorned with an outstanding view of Mount Everest itself and the other tallest mountains such as Mt.

When was the new Height of Mount Everest Measured?
Last spring, in May 2019 the Nepalese surveyor’s team measure the mountains which followed by Chinese surveyors in May 2020. They became the only team to reach the summit in 2020. During the time of the survey, Nepali surveyors reached the summit at 3:00 am to minimize the errors and despite freezing cold, Nepal was successful in creating history with the new height of Mount Everest. Putting an end to the decades-long debate on the world’s highest mountain, Nepal and China announced the news jointly. There is no doubt that the highest peak of the world is Mount Everest. It's hard to say Mount Everest will always be the highest mountain in the world, but one thing is sure that it is carrying its legacy on.
Was the Measurement Needed?
The major earthquake of 2015 had an impact on measuring its new height. A spokesman for the Nepalese Department of Survey, Mr. Damodar Dhakal, also said that the reason for the mountain was the 2015 earthquake. BUT you can’t deny the fact that there was always an ongoing conflict about the height of Mount Everest between Nepal and China. At the end of the day, the announcement of the new height of Everest resolves the conflict.
