Everybody knows about the Highest mounatin of the world. It's Mount Everest. Its called Sagarmatha (means;the goddess of sky) in Nepal. Mt everst was conquered by Sir Edmund Hillary from newzealand and Tenzing norgay Sherpa on may 29 1953 for the first time. The first lady to reach the top of the world was Junko tabei from Japan. Its is 8848 m high and lies at somewhat at the border of Nepal and Tibet. Every year many people all over the world attempt to conqured the Divine nature but only few could make it, most of them returned or quit and some of them lose their life. The youngest person ever to climb Mt everest is Temba Tsheri from Nepal at the age of 16. It is also believed to be seen from the moon.
Mt Everest is a dream to any mountain climbers. Some people even quench their thrist for Everest by climbing till the base camp. Climbing moutains needs skills but when it comes to Everest one needs more than skills to achieve sucess!!!

It is the highest mountain in the world and the first Malaysia's climber (Mohan Das) reached there in the 1997. He is proud of Malaysia.
I'm reading the book "Three Cups of Tea" right now. It talks about K2 in Pakistan, another beautiful area that doesn't seem to be that far from Nepal when you look at a map. K2 apparently is the second hightest mountain in the world. The author attempted to climb and came real close, but ended up building schools for communities in that area of Pakistan.....interesting!
It must be such a wonderfull and enormously feeling when you reach the top of Mt Everest!
I have great respect for people climbing and hiking in such a height, because it is really hard for the body to adapt to the conditions and it is even harder to have the mental strength!
