Today, I come up with a different content other than food and travel related content. Everyone must have known about the world's highest mountain- Everest. To conquer the peak of the world has always been in everyone's dream list. Besides there are so many mysterious facts that Everest has which I am going to list out the main here.

First of all the height of mount Everest is not always constant i.e. 8848 metres. Annually, it grows by 4 millimetres. It was assumed that the earthquake that hit Nepal on April 2015 has increased the height of mount Everest. Later in 2019, a team of Indian surveyor arrived in Nepal to measure the height and they estimated it would take about 2 years to measure the height of Everest. Later they announced they can do within two months. But now due to various reasons this task has been stucked for now.

You need to adapt to the climatic situation of the Everest before climbing the peak. And you would need to spend around 60-70 days before you can finally conquer the roof of the world. The average budget that would be spent here is about 30000 US Dollars. You need to get permit from the Tourism Ministry in Nepal which is about 10000 US Dollars. Nepal is the country whose huge economy comes from Tourism and that all goes to politicians stomach.

The snow will not decay your body and it will therefore be preserved there. You can see frequent people lying dead on the trail to the mount Everest. This is because, its a complicated process to return the dead body back to the camp. There's low chance of survival even if you did that. Nowadays dead bodies have been used as a symbol to represent the elevation i.e altitude. You can see more of the dead bodies by opening above link. Its safe to see, no worry.
