If you want to climb to the highest mountain in the world you have to go to Himalaya Mountain whose snow-covered peaks form the highest mountain range on earth.
There, on the boarder of Nepal and Tibet in Asia, is Mt. Everest—the worlds highest mountain. It towers 29,028 feet – almost five and a half miles – above sea level. (Usually a mountain’s height is given in feet above sea level because this is approximately the same all over the world).
By using special instruments and mathematics, surveyors can measure the height of a mountain without actual climbing it.
Altogether, 28 Himalayan peaks rise higher that 25,000 feet to form an almost impassible mountain wall between India and the rest of Asia. Many people think that the Himalayas are the home of the legendary Abominable Snowman.
