00:00Welcome to News Plus Globe. Today, we journey to the top of the world to celebrate International
00:06Everest Day 2025. International Everest Day is observed every year on May 29, marking the
00:14anniversary of the first successful ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and
00:19Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal in 1953. This day honors the courage, endurance, and spirit of
00:27adventure that led these pioneers to conquer the world's highest peak, standing at 8,848.86 meters
00:35above sea level. Mount Everest, known as Sagarmatha in Nepali and Koma Langma in Tibetan, is more than
00:42a mountain. It is a symbol of human aspiration and the ultimate test of resilience. Since 2008,
00:50Nepal has officially celebrated this day, recognizing not only the historic climb but also the cultural
00:56and environmental significance of the Himalayas. Everest Day is a tribute to climbers, Sherpas,
01:03and all those who risk their lives in pursuit of high-altitude exploration. For Nepal, it's a moment
01:09of national pride and global recognition of its majestic mountain heritage. Across Nepal, the day
01:16is marked with rallies, parades, and ceremonies. Climbers from around the world gather in Kathmandu
01:23and other regions to celebrate achievements and discuss future challenges in mountaineering and
01:28environmental protection. This year, a breathtaking 360-degree video from the summit, captured by Ben
01:36M. Jones, has gone viral. The panoramic footage lets viewers experience the awe-inspiring vastness of
01:43the Himalayas from the comfort of their homes. The video transports us to the summit, where the sky
01:49meets snow-capped giants in every direction. It's a rare glimpse into a world few will ever see in
01:55person. International Everest Day is more than a celebration. It's a day of tribute, awareness, and pride,
02:03honoring the Sherpa community's invaluable role and remembering climbers who lost their lives on the
02:08mountain. The day also raises awareness about the fragile Himalayan ecosystem, threatened by climate
02:15change and overtourism. It's a call to preserve both the physical mountain and its deep cultural and
02:21spiritual significance. Climbing Everest remains one of the most awe-inspiring feats in human history.
02:29The extreme altitude, treacherous terrain, and unpredictable weather make every ascent a monumental
02:34achievement. Above 5,000 meters, the air is dangerously thin, causing altitude sickness and
02:42physical exhaustion. The Khumbu icefall, shifting crevasses, and steep ridges demand expert navigation
02:49and nerves of steel. Sudden blizzards, hurricane-force winds, and avalanches are constant threats.
02:57Despite modern gear and forecasting, Everest still demands rigorous preparation and a measure of luck.
03:04Everest is sacred to the Sherpa and Tibetan communities, representing resilience,
03:08hope, and the spirit of the Himalayas. The mountains' tourism is vital for Nepal's economy,
03:15supporting local communities, and fostering global connections.
03:20International Everest Day inspires adventurers worldwide and calls for responsible mountaineering
03:25to protect the Himalayas for future generations.
03:29As we celebrate today, let's remember that Everest is not just a peak,
03:33it's a testament to what humans can achieve with determination and teamwork.
