Yes, these mountains, of which Everest is part, are still growing as the Earth's continents move, pushing India further north and The Himalayas even higher. The Himalayas are growing about an inch each year as a result of this process.

geological theories have shown how the great Himalayas have been formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which began more than 50 million years ago. They still continue, though very slowly, hence the Himalayas still keep growing tall.
