Nepal is planning to organise a grand event in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the first human ascent of Mount Everest. The event will take place on 29 May 2023, 70 years after Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa climbed to the top of the world’s highest peak. The event is expected to attract tourists from around the globe and will feature a rally and banquets. The Nepal Mountaineering Association is inviting all those who have climbed the peak to attend the Everest Summit, and confer honours.
