Mount Everest was first measured in 1856 has a height of 8839 m, but is stated as 8840 m (29,002 ft). Additional 0.6 m (2 ft) shows that at that time the exact height of 29,000 feet will be considered as a rounded estimate. General assessment used at present is 8850 m that is obtained through reading Global Positioning System (GPS). Himalaya mountain is still rising higher due to tectonic plate movement area.
