Mount Everest (8848m) was named after Sir Geroge Everest, the British Surveyor General of India who first established its height in 1856. To the people of this region she is 'Chomolungma' and to the rest of the Nepalese she is known as 'Sagarmatha'. From the time of its discovery, it has been the dream of many mountaineers and adventure seekers to climb or be near the world highest mountain. Everest and the region of Khumbu is home to the Sherpas, renowned mountaineers and guides. They have been associated with Everest Expeditions since 1920 and were made more famous when Sherpa Tenzing Norgay climbed Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 for the first time.
