what evernt is taking place and where is it taking place?
Answers
Answer:
Mount Everest is located on the border between Tibet and Nepal in the Himalayas in Asia.
Everest is situated in the Mahalangur Range on the Tibetan Plateau known as Qing Zang Gaoyuan. The summit is directly between Tibet and Nepal.
Mount Everest keeps some tall company. The Mahalangur Range is home to four of the earth's six highest peaks. Mount Everest kind of looms in the background. First-timers to Nepal often aren't really sure which mountain is Everest until someone clarifies for them!
On the Nepali side, Mount Everest is located in the Sagarmatha National Park in the Solukhumbu District. On the Tibetan side, Mount Everest is located in Tingri County in the Xigaze area, what China considers to be an autonomous region and part of the People's Republic of China.
Because of political restrictions and other factors, the Nepali side of Everest is most accessible and more often in the spotlight. When someone says they are going to "trek to Everest Base Camp," they are talking about South Base Camp at 17,598 feet in Nepal.
Facts About Mount Everest

How High Is Mount Everest?
The survey accepted by Nepal and China (for now) yielded: 29,029 feet (8,840 meters) above sea level.
As technology improves, different surveying techniques keep producing different results for the literal height of Mount Everest. Geologists disagree whether measurements should be based on permanent snow or rock. Adding to their stress, tectonic movement is making the mountain grow a little each year!
At 29,029 feet (8,840 meters) above sea level, Mount Everest is the highest and most prominent mountain on earth based on measurement to sea level.
Asia's Himalayas—the tallest mountain range in the world—span across six countries: China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bhutan, and Afghanistan. Himalaya means "abode of snow" in Sanskrit.
Where Did the Name "Everest" Come From?
Strangely, earth's tallest mountain didn't get its Western name from anyone who had climbed it. The mountain is named for Sir George Everest, the Welsh Surveyor General of India at the time. He didn't want the honor and protested the idea for many reasons.
The political figures in 1865 didn't listen and still renamed "Peak XV" to "Everest" in honor of Sir George Everest. What's worse, the Welsh pronunciation is actually "Eave-rest" not "Ever-est"!
Mount Everest already had several local names transliterated from different alphabets, but none were common enough to make official without hurting someone's feelings. Sagarmatha, the Nepali name for Everest and the surrounding national park, wasn't put into use until the 1960s.
The Tibetan name for Everest is Chomolungma which means "Holy Mother."
How Much Does It Cost to Climb Mount Everest?
Climbing Mount Everest is expensive. And it's one of those endeavors where you don't really want to cut corners on cheap equipment or hire someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
The permit from the Nepalese government costs US $11,000 per climber. That's an expensive piece of paper. But the other not-so-little fees and charges stack onto that quickly.
