International Everest Day

On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay scaled the peaks of Mound Everest, becoming the first humans to do so. Since 2008, the day has been observed as International Everest Day to commemorate the event. It serves as an opportunity to inspire people to pursue their dreams. Mount Everest is to be known as Sagar-Matha (Sanskrit name). The significance of Mount Everest Day is to inspire people to achieve their dreams and to raise awareness about the importance of the environment. Climb your own personal Everest. Complete a task you have always wanted to accomplish.
