On May 29, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, became the first climbers to successfully reach the summit of Mount Everest. They started their ascent from a camp located near the Khumbu Icefall, which is now known as the Everest Base Camp. After the successful ascent of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, Everest Base Camp became an important starting point for the climbers. Over time, the facilities and infrastructure at the base camp improved to accommodate climbers, support staff, and researchers. This led to a greater number of climbers and trekkers with the help of assistance of the sherpas and professional guides. Everest Base Camp remains a popular destination for climbers, trekkers, and adventure lovers who wish to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas and witness the iconic Mount Everest.
