10Mount Everest, Nepal

Mount Everest, the tallest peak on Earth, is the ultimate destination for adventurers seeking the thrill of conquering nature. Standing at 29,032 feet (8,848 meters), the summit attracts climbers from all over the world. However, this adventure comes with significant risks.

The extreme altitude can cause life-threatening conditions like pulmonary edema and cerebral edema. The notorious “Death Zone” above 8,000 meters offers little oxygen, and sudden weather changes can create perilous conditions. Despite advances in mountaineering technology, dozens of climbers have perished on Everest, making it one of the most dangerous yet coveted adventure destinations on the planet.
