#5 Mount Everest, Nepal
Height: 8.848 m

The highest mountain in the world remains on top when it comes to danger, climbing difficult or, worse, loss of life. And if you thought that the height does not cost, wrong again. In addition, the "brand" Everest is still dangerous. This time a financial one. Because the tourism is the largest source of income for the Nepalese government, the authorities ask for serious money from any climber who entered into the Gods Country, thinking to conquer the highest peak on earth. Merged, the final costs of an adventure Chomolugma, rise to approximately $ 25,000 per person, not a negligible amount of money in these times ...



From 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary conquered the Everest for the first time, until the end of 2009, "Roof of the World" asked to sacrifice to 216 people. The worst incident occurred in 1996, when a snow storm killed eight climbers. The toughest conditions you meet once entered into so-called "Zone of Death ', somewhere over 8000 meters, when oxygen in the air becomes insufficient and climbers who choose to climb the peak without oxygen tanks, and they have a few hours to make the ascent and return. Most deaths occurred in this area, the bodies remain frozen forever as a macabre tribute paid to human courage to defy the supreme heights.
