Don't know if that's a fun fact. I have had many visits to Nepal, which is hardly 100Kms from where I live. I know that mount Everest is also in Nepal. I never had intention to climb the top but wanted to watch the peak from the closest. So, I made plans with some of my friends to reach at least to the base camp, which I believed was only in Nepal. But when I reached there somebody told us that he had gone to the Tibet base camp and climbed up to Mount Everest from the Northern Side. We were young and we believed that he might be right. But eventually, we came to know that the north base camp in China does not allow anyone to climb up to the Everest.
