Mount Everest (8848 m)
Mount Everest, at 8848 meters (29029 feet), is the world's highest mountain. It was originally climbed by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal on May 29, 1953. Mount Everest is also known as Chomolungma (Goddess Mother of the Snow) in Tibetan and Sagarmatha in Nepali (Mother of the Universe).
Everest had been tried several times before the significant expeditions of 1922, 1923, and 1924. In 1999, the body of George H. L. Mallory, who died in an earlier attempt (1924), was discovered not on the summit. Over 600 climbers from 20 nations have reached the summit via various north and south routes. Climbers have been as young as twelve years old and as old as sixty.
Kangchenjunga (8,586m)
The Kangchenjunga massif, located in the Taplejung area of Province No. 1, is on many mountaineers' and trekkers' bucket lists. Many brave trekkers dream of experiencing the region's unique qualities, which include picturesque valleys, coruscating peaks, enchanting environment, and a diverse range of flora and wildlife. Trekking in the unexplored wonderland of the Kangchenjunga Region is the greatest way to see the unexplored wonderland on untrodden pathways.
From 1838 to 1849, Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest mountain, was touted as the world's highest peak. Although Kangchenjunga is located on the border of Nepal and Sikkim (India), the Indian government has closed the path to Kangchenjunga from the northeast side since 2000, leaving Nepal as the only country having three alternate routes to ascend Mt. Kangchenjunga.
Since 1905, many expedition teams have attempted to scale Kangchenjunga, but in 1955, George Band and Joe Brown of the British Expedition team became the first mountaineers to successfully ascend the peak. Kangchenjunga is named for the five peaks that make up the Kangchenjunga massif: Kanchenjunga main (8,586m), Kanchenjunga West (8,505m), Kanchenjunga South (8,494m), Kanchenjunga Central (8,484m), and Kangbachen (8,484m) (7,903m).
It is also said that the summit, which is home to the Kangchenjunga Demon: Yeti, is religiously significant.
Lhotse (8,816m)
Lhotse is Nepal's third and world's fourth highest peak, rising 8,816 meters above sea level in the Khumbu area.

Ernest Reiss and Fritz Luchsinger successfully climbed Lhotse in 1956, bringing the mountain into the spotlight.
The Lhotse route, up to Yellow band beyond EBC Camp 3, follows the same Everest route as the Everest route.Due to dangerous rocks, a dry surface, and the risk of rock falls, the Lhotse mountain is one of the most challenging and rarely tackled peaks above 8000m. Lhotse may be an exciting mountain trip for budget mountaineers who desire to complete mountaineering for half the expense of Everest.
Fritz Luchsinger and Ernest Reiss, two Swiss, were the first to summit Lhotse in 1956. There are two minor peaks in addition to the main summit. Nuptse, a high peak on the Mountain's West Ridge, and Lhotse Shar, which is just east of the main summit.

Tilman and his team explored mountains and routes when the 1950 Annapurna IV attempt failed. The mountain is one of the most dangerous mountains and some locals say this is the peak. Trekking in this area is prohibited for solo hikers as this area is a restricted area and requires special permits. Therefore, this mountain is a low priority among mountaineers. Since the Manaslu region is an undiscovered treasure hidden in the Himalayas, MMT accompanies trips to the region, offering Manaslu Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek, and Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek.
The long ridges of the mountains and the glaciers of the valleys provide a viable approach from all directions, reaching the peaks that rise above the surrounding landscape and are the dominant feature from a distance. The name Manaslu is derived from the Sanskrit word Manaslu and can be broadly rephrased as a mountain of spirits.
