Inquiry Now. The Great Trigonometric Survey, which included the mountain namesake George Everest, put the summit at 29, ft. Yet, as All says, the elevation is still not a settled issue. Mount Everest is 29, feet, according to measurements that National Geographic 's team took on its Millennium Expedition in But ask China and Nepal and they might say that Everest is 29, feet. Earlier surveys established that height, and it falls within the National Geographic expedition's margin of error.
Why can't surveyors do better? One big confounding factor is that scientists measure elevation about sea level, and sea level is not constant. It varies slightly around the world and it changes with tides, so the best practice is to agree on an average and measure from there. Another issue is plate tectonics.
Everest rides the edge of a plate that is thrusting upward. Its height may be changing constantly. You will also find that there are cheaper accommodations in the winter months, though there is only the Rongbuk Guesthouse to stay in at EBC in the winter, as the tent guesthouses have packed up until April. But with fewer tourists and cheaper costs, it is better to travel from November to February for a cheap EBC tour.
For a good visit to Tibet you need to pack carefully, as it can be cold there at any time of the year. Make sure that you have your valid passport and Chinese Entry Visa with you at all times, and that it is kept secure or on your person at all times.
You need to apply for this permit one month prior to your arrival in Tibet as this permit takes some time to get ready and you need to produce the original copy of this permit at the Airport before you board the flight.
Tibet is renowned for having a very high temperature difference from day to night, and the temperatures at night at EBC can get pretty cold, even in the summer months, make sure that you have layers of long and short tops to keep warm with, a good fleece or down jacket and a couple of woolen sweaters, and rain and windproof coats. Bring along plenty of underwear, including long underwear for the colder times, and thick woolen socks to keep your feet warm.
Strong hiking boots are an advantage, as you will be walking on rough and rocky terrain, and you need to make sure your feet are kept dry and your ankles are supported.
Sports shoes are only useful for towns and cities and using in the hotel. Take a large backpack, a small bag and a waist bag is enough. Bigger backpack will be a wise option as it will be unable to keep clothes and will be easy to carry as the path is not that smooth to walk.
The small bag will be usable to carry the things for daily use, such as hand towels, toiletries, etc. Though the solar radiations are strong in Tibet, it is necessary to keep sunscreen with minimum SPF 35, lip balms, cold cream, moisturizer, UV protection sunglasses, sun hat, ear buds, nail clippers, etc.
Do not expose your skin in the sun as rays are harsh there and may cause sunburn. You also need to make sure that you have enough toiletries, such as Toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, oil, shampoo, small hand towel, shaving kit, deodorant, etc.
Bring cash in different denominations and try to keep enough cash with you as when you will be away from Lhasa in remote areas cash is the only form of payment available.
