The Nepali government has made the decision to hold a week-long celebration of International Everest Day. The first meeting of the main committee, which was presided over by Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation Badri Prasad Pandey, authorized a number of initiatives centered on mountaineering, environmental preservation, Himalayan culture, and advancing international travel.

Mountain hikes, photo exhibits, interactive seminars, cultural exhibitions, clean-up campaigns, and student awareness initiatives are all part of the events. Minister Pandey underlined the importance of incorporating all Himalayan peaks in the festivities and stressed Everest as a symbol of pride for the country and the world.
To honor record-holding climbers, a recommendation committee has been established, and the Foreign Ministry has been asked to organize international marketing campaigns through embassies and consulates. Collaboration with the private sector and tourism organizations will also be a part of the celebration. In honor of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary’s 1953 first successful ascent, International Everest Day is celebrated on May 29 every year.
