Mount Everest Mount Everest, standing tall at an elevation of 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level, is renowned as the highest peak in the world. Adventurers from all around the world have their sights set on Mount Everest. It is, in fact, quite a popular destination for trekking and mountaineering.
Falling in the Himalayan range that extends from India to Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan, and Nepal, it is one of the youngest mountains on earth. And Nepal, which happens to be the home of Everest, is known as the “roof of the world.” This mighty creation of nature is interconnected with the faith of the communities of the mountains.
Naming of the Highest Peak
The highest peak in the world is Mount Everest. Still, its Nepali name is “Sagarmatha'', “Sagar'' meaning "sky,” and “Matha'' meaning "forehead," so it is the “forehead of the sky”. In Tibetan, Everest is known as “Chomolongma'' or “Qomolangma”, meaning “Mother Goddess of the World.” In fact, the name “Everest '' came about in 1865 following the recommendations of Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India, after Sir George Everest, who was Waugh's predecessor in the post of Surveyor General.
Before being named “Everest” and getting declared as the highest peak, it was initially known as “Gamma” and then changed to “Peak B.”. After being suspected to be the highest peak in the world, after the measurements were done and confirmed to be the height peak, it was named “Peak XV.” Then, in 1956, it was named “Mont Everest,” and again, in 1865, the Royal Geographic Society pronounced the official name "Mount Everest.”
History and the Conqueror of Everest
In 1921, George Mallory and his British expedition team set out for the first ever expedition of Mount Everest, which only led until the North Col. Then again, the second attempt was made in 1922, where they were able to climb up to 8000 meters before retreating. In their third attempt in 1924, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine are believed to have slipped, got injured, and succumbed to the cold, leading to their demise.
There were many attempts made to conquer Everest after the first attempt but to no avail. But on May 29, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary, a mountaineer from New Zealand and a Nepali climber, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, successfully summited the highest mountain in the world. 32 years after the first attempt, Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, was finally conquered.
Where is Mount Everest located?
Mount Everest is located in the Himalayan Range, which was formed by the collision of the Tibetan and Indian tectonic plates. It is located in the northeastern part of Nepal, in the Solukhumbu district. It falls on the coordinates of 27°59′18″N 86°55′31″E and lies in the Mahalangur Himalayan Range, which spans the north-east of Nepal and south-central Tibet.
The expedition of Everest is mostly conducted from the south base camp, which falls in Nepal but it can also be done from the north base camp, which is situated in Tibet. Nevertheless, Everest is a peak destination for adventurers seeking solace in the higher altitudes.
Climate and Weather on Mount Everest
Mount Everest is undoubtedly one of the coldest places on earth. The temperature on Everest is below freezing all year round, which makes it a challenging place to be on the planet. In winter, temperatures fall to -36°C at night and -33°C during the day. In summer, temperatures range from -19°C at night to 0°C during the day.
The weather pattern can be quite unpredictable when it comes to higher-altitude mountains. One of the major problems is the wind. On average, the wind is 160 km/h (100 mph) but it can easily get up to 285 km/h (177 mph) which can easily blow away a person off Everest. However, climate change has now become a very big issue, as it has played a part in the change and destabilization of the Khumbu Glacier.
When is the best time for the Everest Expedition?
The most favored time for the Everest expedition is considered to be the spring (March–May) season. The temperature and weather around this time are generally stable, as it is still pre-monsoon. Not only that, but the temperatures are relatively warmer and the length of the day is longer too.
Autumn (September–November) is also a good season for expeditions, but it is significantly colder. However, the views are crisp and clear, as it is post-monsoon. Thus, the majority of climbers prefer to summit in the spring season.
How do I get to Mount Everest?
The journey for the expedition to the world’s highest peak begins with a hair-raising flight to Lukla. As the expedition takes place in spring and autumn, the flight to Lukla will be directed to Manthali, Ramechhap. It is a 3–4-hour drive from Kathmandu, where you will finally board a flight to Lukla. Following your flight, you will begin your trek alongside the Dudh Koshi River and the trail of the classic Everest Base Camp Trek , which is the most popular choice.
The trail will take you through beautiful Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorak Shep, Kala Patthar, and finally Everest Base Camp, which is the starting point of the Mount Everest expedition.
Significance of Mount Everest
Mount Everest, the name itself holds a significant weight as the highest point on earth. It already contributes to the ecosystem substantially. It sustains the glaciers and the water systems that get collected in lakes and rivers. It also has great geological and meteorological importance.
The Sherpa and Tibetan communities living near the mountain hold Mount Everest as an essential part of their livelihood and culture. They consider Everest to be a sacred site. Everest also has a greater impact on tourism and the economy, as thousands of tourists come annually for the Everest trek or expedition.
And lastly, Everest has become synonymous with challenge and achievement. The successful summits are inspiring millions of people around the world while also remembering those who died during the expeditions.
Trekking and Expeditions
Naturally, reaching the top of Mount Everest is no easy feat. It requires an equal level of preparation and dedication, both physically and mentally. Therefore, having prior experience summiting 6000 meters, 7000 meters, or even 8000 meters of mountains is essential. Summiting the world’s tallest peak will undoubtedly push you to your limits.
You will also need an experienced climbing guide and support from Sherpas for a successful summit. You should also obtain a climbing permit from the government. The company will handle the accommodations and logistics for you while you prepare for the summit. The push for the summit is done with heavy preparation and proper acclimatization.
But once you reach the top of Everest, it is surely an unmatched experience. During the golden hour, you can see the entirety of the Mahalangur Himalayan Range, with peaks like Nuptse, Lhotse, and Makalu. It will be an unforgettable moment that touches the core of your heart.
And for those who do not wish to climb Everest itself but still want to have a similar experience, the Everest region offers multiple trekking options. The most popular one is Everest Base Camp, along with the Gokyo Lakes Trek and Three High Passes. With this, you can get a beautiful view of the Everest without having to actually summit.
In Summary
Mount Everest annually attracts a lot of mountaineers and trekkers. There is an undeniable significance to Everest, environmentally, culturally, and economically. The freezing cold temperatures and soaring heights are two of the most challenging factors of Everest. But nonetheless, it is an enthralling destination for adventurers and a feat to be achieved at least once in a-lifetime. It is the pinnacle of endurance and achievement for humankind.
Alpine Ramble Treks invites you on an inspiring journey to the top of the world, the Everest Expedition. We hold our expeditions during the month of May. A summit to greatness. Contact us for more details and we will be at your service to offer you a top-notch experience.

Music in the Parks I chaperoned Leah's trip to Music in the Parks at Hersheypark. Her middle school has a massive music program, and took around 230 kids to Hershey, PA for this (plus maybe 40 adults). We arrived at her school by 4:30am to load the 6 charter buses and drive up. They had ensembles performing all morning long at three different local schools for adjudicators (mostly university music professors). Leah performed twice - once with Chamber Orchestra and once with Symphony Orchestra. Then we hopped on the buses and headed to Hersheypark. We got into the park around 1:00, and had lots of fun on rides and the like. My group of nine seventh graders was very well behaved and easy to manage. We split up a lot so folks could do what they wanted, whether that be big roller coasters or smaller rides. At 4:30, my group decided to leave the park to pop into Chocolate World for a little shopping. Then at 5:15 we headed to the arena for the awards ceremony. The kids love the awards ceremony, though it feels a bit awkward since most of the programs there have 10-40 kids and we have so many. Our school took home lots of trophies (I believe Leah said 14, though I didn't count) and received almost entirely Superior ratings.
My favorite part of this trip is the camaraderie and exuberance. These kids really supported each other. I love how much they cheer their fellow students, both before and after performances (and at the awards ceremony, of course). I'm glad my kids are a part of this community.

North American P-51D Mustang Aircraft markings: 334th FS, 4th FG, 8th AF
Wikipedia: The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in April 1940 by a team headed by James H. Kindelberger of North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. The commission approached NAA to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Rather than build an old design from another company, NAA proposed the design and production of a more modern fighter. Over 15,000 were produced.

A Hike in Michigan’s UP 53884047864_3b57ff8153_b
Desconhecido #62: Helô (e Halani) PT(BR): Por fim, já no cair da tarde e início da noite, encontrei a Helo (@helo.tatto_) andando pelos corredores do evento com a Halani (@halani_bonfim).
Abordei a Helo para explicar o projeto e pedir sua participação, que também concordou em fazer as fotos.
A luz ambiente já não estava mais favorável como nas fotos tiradas com a Melina. Assim, optei por posicionar a Helo em frente aos stands dos tatuadores, torcendo para que a iluminação das paredes laterais do IBC pudessem me fornecer o mínimo de luz possível para proporcionar uma boa foto.
A iluminação não ficou perfeita, mas otimizando a saturação da luz ambiente, consegui melhora o resultado final, que me agradou.
Helo, obrigado pela sua participação. Espero que goste.

EN: Finally, towards the end of the afternoon and early evening, I found Helo (@helo.tatto_) walking through the halls of the event with Halani (@halani_bonfim).
I approached Helo to explain the project and ask for her participation, who also agreed to take the photos.
The ambient light was no longer as favorable as in the photos taken with Melina. Therefore, I chose to position the Helo in front of the tattoo artists' stands, hoping that the lighting on the IBC's side walls could provide me with as little light as possible to provide a good photo.
The lighting wasn't perfect, but by optimizing the saturation of the ambient light, I managed to improve the final result, which I was pleased with.
Hello, thank you for your participation. I hope you enjoy.

The Datun Julud dance Performed only by women of the Kenyah tribe of Sarawak, it was used in the past to greet warriors returning from a raid, as well as to thank the spirits for a bountiful harvest. Known as the ‘hornbill dance’, it features female dancers moving gracefully in imitation of the sacred bird, all while keeping their heads motionless in order to avoid swaying around their heavy brass earrings too much.
As the dance is inspired by Sarawak’s national bird, the hornbill, the movements in Datun Julud mimics a hornbill in flight. You can especially see this in the way a dancer’s arms wave up and down slowly throughout the dance. Dancers are usually clad in colourful traditional clothes, including a headdress and colourful beads. Fans made from hornbill feathers are held in each hand. As the hornbill is an endangered and protected species, this practice has been outlawed; instead, they now use fake feathers.
Exécutée uniquement par les femmes de la tribu Kenyah du Sarawak, cette danse était autrefois utilisée pour saluer les guerriers revenant d'un raid, ainsi que pour remercier les esprits d'une récolte abondante. Connue sous le nom de "danse du calao", elle met en scène des danseuses qui se déplacent gracieusement en imitant l'oiseau sacré, tout en gardant la tête immobile pour ne pas trop faire osciller leurs lourdes boucles d'oreilles.
Comme la danse s'inspire de l'oiseau national du Sarawak, le calao, les mouvements du Datun Julud imitent le vol d'un calao. Cela se voit notamment à la façon dont les bras d'un danseur ondulent lentement de haut en bas tout au long de la danse. Les danseuses sont généralement vêtues de vêtements traditionnels colorés, comprenant une coiffe et des perles colorées. Des éventails en plumes de calao sont tenus dans chaque main. Le calao étant une espèce menacée et protégée, cette pratique a été interdite; les danseurs utilisent désormais de fausses plumes."
Martin pêcheur d'Europe Le martin-pêcheur se reconnaît facilement par ses belles couleurs. Les parties supérieures, du manteau aux sus-caudales, affiche un bleu turquoise qui contrastent avec le roux-orangé des parties inférieures. Sa gorge est couleur crème. Le martin-pêcheur possède le long bec pointu et fortcaractéristique des oiseaux piscivores. En forme de dague, il représente une arme efficace pour capturer ses proies. Ses pattes rouge-vermillon, de très petite taille et flanquées de doigts partiellement soudés, leur interdit la marche au sol.
