Mount Everest lies on the border of both Nepal and China/Tibet from the South and north respectively. So mountaineers have an opportunity to choose either to explore/climb Everest from both sides. To experience more adventure and long holiday hiking trips, most of the travelers prefer the Nepal side but summiting Everest from Northside is considered a more safe route.
