International Everest Day is observed every year on May 29 to honour the historic ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal in 1953. The day commemorates human endurance, courage, and the spirit of adventure that led to the first successful summit of the world's highest peak. In 2025, International Everest Day falls on Thursday, May 29.
Significance of the Day
International Mount Everest Day not only marks a milestone in mountaineering history but also highlights the cultural and environmental importance of the Himalayas. It is a tribute to climbers, Sherpas, and all those who risk their lives in pursuit of high-altitude exploration. For Nepal, Everest Day is also a moment of national pride and global recognition of its majestic mountain heritage.
