On May 29th, Nepal celebrates Mount Everest Day, also known as Sagarmatha Day, to honor the first successful ascent of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. On this day in 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa climber from Nepal, became the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
The day is celebrated to honor the achievement of Hillary and Norgay, as well as to acknowledge the efforts and sacrifices of the numerous climbers, Sherpas, and support staff who have been part of Everest expeditions over the years. Mount Everest Day is also an occasion to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the mountain's fragile environment and promoting sustainable tourism in the region.
Celebrations on Mount Everest Day may include special events, workshops, discussions, and cultural programs related to mountaineering, the history of Everest expeditions, and the significance of the mountain for Nepal and its people. The day serves as a reminder of the challenges and triumphs associated with scaling the world's highest peak and the role of mountaineering in Nepal's history and culture.
