MT. SAGARMATHA IS THE WORLD'S HIGHEST PEAK
Mt. Sagarmatha
is the world's highest mountain with 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above the
sea level. The name of the world's highest peak in Nepali language is Sagarmāthā. A renowned Nepali historian, Babu Ram Acharya, named the mountain: Sagarmatha,
which literally means 'head on or above the sky or heaven'. Should you
be viewing the Himalayan panorama from a distance, somewhere from Nagarkot or Sailung Lekh, Sagarmatha would look like to you - a 'Bbhadgaule Topi' ( Bhaktapur brand black cap) on a person’s head. It is black in colour and majestic also.
* If you looked at the picture again you will see the mountain like a tallest man in a 'black topi' (black cap). The Black Bhadgaule Topi
is one of the markers or national identities of Nepalese people; you
may call it 'national symbol' or pride or national dress either.
