Nepal, China disagree on height Everest, signing of boundary protocol delayed
By Bhola B Rana
Kathmandu, 16 July: Nepal and China—who share Mount Everest, the world’s tallest peak—disagree on the height of the peak delaying the signing of the fourth boundary protocol, a Nepali boundary expert said.
“The third joint committee I working for more than four years. But the work has not yet been completed to sign the fourth boundary protocol. It has created a curiosity why the work has been pending,” writes Buddhi Narayan Shrestha, former director general of Survey Department in an article entitled ‘3rd joint inspection in the process in Republica Friday.
‘It has created a curiosity why has the work been pending?” Shrestha asks on the delay.
Shrestha speculates ‘the co-called dual heights of Mount Sagarmatha [Nepali name of Everest] may have caused the delay.
“As far as the height of Sagarmatha (Qomolongma, Everest) is concerned, China has proposed to mention it at 8,844.47 meters, as they have declared the height of Sagarmatha to have decreased by 3.53 meters.
“They established the new height in 2005, deducting the thickness of the ice on the top of Sagarmatha. But Nepal is neither willing to accept the lowered height, nor the new height of the 8,850 meters determined in 1999 by America.
“During joint discussions, China proposed to mention on map two heights of a single peak, that of Sagarmatha, as the Chinese height (8844m) without the thickness of ice, and the traditional Nepali height (8,848m) with ice.
‘Regarding two heights of the same summit, Nepal may have been confused whether or not to accept the Chinese proposal. This is one of the reasons to have prolonged the joint boundary committee’s duration,” Shrestha adds.

One thing I'd really like to say is always that car insurance canceling is a terrifying experience and if you're doing the suitable things as a
driver you'll not get one. A lot of people do are sent the notice that they are officially dumped by their particular insurance company they then have to fight to get extra insurance after a cancellation. Inexpensive auto insurance rates usually are hard to get following a cancellation. Knowing the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance cancelling can help drivers prevent burning off one of the most important privileges out there. Thanks for the strategies shared through your blog.
