Anyone can experience Mount Everest by traveling to the base and standing in the mountains glory. But it will take some mountain climbing experience and a fat wallet to continue. The easiest, and cheaper way, to see the mountain and the majestic range is a guided flight around it. This is the best and safest way for the most average traveler.
Mount Everest reaches a peak of 29,029 feet and represents the highest point on earth, but is not the tallest mountain. That title belongs to Mount McKinley in Alaska, based on the measurements from the base above sea level to the peak. Yet again, that isn't the largest mountain. Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the actual tallest mountain at 6.3 miles, but most of it resides underwater.
If we were to place Mount Everest in the Challenger Deep, the deepest spot in the ocean, the mountain would still be covered by 1.3 miles of water.
