Everest is a part of Himalayan mountain range along the border of Nepal and Tibet. Its located 27° 59’ North latitude 86° 55’ East longitude. The official height of Everest is 8,848m (29,029ft). Sifting tectonic plates continue to push Everest upward along with the all Himalayan mountain range at 1.6 to 3.9 inches (4 to 10 cm per year). In 1841, Sir George Everest, Surveyor General of India first recorded the location of Everest and it was named peak XV at that time. In 1865, it was renamed Mount Everest to honor Sir George as English name. Mount Everest is also known as Sagarmatha in Nepali Language which refers as goddess of sky and Chomolungma in Tibetan language which refers as goddess of universe. Mount Everest is formed by the different limestone, Shale and marbles. The first person to climb Mount Everest was Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa from Nepal in May 29, 1953AD and Junko Tabei was the first to climb up the Everest on 16 May, 1975 AD.

One of the most challenging factors is high altitude. As the climbers climbs up and increase the elevation the percentage of oxygen decreases and lower air pressure in atmosphere which makes climber uneasy to breath and effects to the lungs, kidney and brain. It starts normal symptoms above 4000m high altitude if you are getting altitude sickness like Hyperventilation (extra breathing), increased urination, restless sleep and periodic breathing at night. Periodic breathing occurs at night you fell that you have missed a breath. On the point of (9,800ft) there is only 2/3 of oxygen. On (20,000ft) there is roughly half and at the high summit of the Everest (29,029) there is only 1/3 of oxygen. At the high point of altitude, high altitude sicknesses are normally dehydration, flu and fatigue and Headache, vomiting, coughing pink, tightness of chest, shortness of breath, discoloration of skin, resting heart beat rate etc. At this situation the climber should immediately taken down to the lower elevation to decrease the altitude sickness. Most of them also can cause from frostbite and this usually occurs on the hand and feet sometime on the ear and nose also due to over cold. The tissue turns white and you lose the felling on that area after it turns into black and finally falls up. So, before that harms you can apply the safety measures and keep it warm as much as you can and use some medicines along decrease the elevation. You should wear your glass without any careless because you may also get caught from snow blindness. Some climbers don’t want to go down, but at that time it’s beneficial to stay at the lower elevation for the body. The Climber should take the proper pack of the required medicine treatments. The mostly used medicine for the attitude sickness is Diamox and do not use sleeping pill it is very dangerous at the high altitude. The all required oxygen bottles and all the required things should also be prepared perfectly. The best thing to remember, to be less cause from this sickness just climb the best rate of Acclimatization is to gain no more than 300m. Drinking alcohol and coffee on the high is just a bad idea and make you much worse than that you might have expected. These all are mainly caused by the low temperature and high altitude. To say about the temperature and weathers is one of the extremes. Temperature at the summit is near freezing during January temperature can drop as -60° Celsius (-76° Fahrenheit). Another biggest thing for the climbers despite temperature is hurricane force winds and wind chill. This wind relaxes at the month of May and most climbers try to summit the peak at that time. The temperature at the Everest base camp also have average of (-17° Celsius) at the time of Everest summit and at the normal time the summits remains (-37° Celsius). Temperature warms rapidly at the spring month of April. There also you can found the weather and temperature forecasting before climbing to the Everest. The adjusted wind chill temperature of -70° Celsius is observes on the summit comparing to the worlds coldest place of -67.8° Celsius in Siberia and -89° Celsius measured at Vostok in Antarctica. Summit of the Everest is one of the windiest and coldest places of the earth. The winds blow at 175 mph+ on the top (category 5 hurricane equivalent).

Winter weather at Everest (Nob to Feb) is dominated by the southward migration of the northern hemisphere jet stream which brings high winds cold temperature and Heavy snowfall. Winter can be the time for only trekkers not for the climbers. Spring weather March until to the unset of the monsoon is one of the best time to trek and most of the people are also on the way to climb on this time. Monsoon season (June to September) summer weather this time is not best for trekking and climbing due to the frequent rain and cloudy day.
