2Mount Everest, Nepal

Reaching the peak of Mount Everest is every hiker’s dream, but most of them never make it to the top of the world’s highest mountain. In fact, for every expedition that attempts it, there are 4.3 fatalities. More than 300 hikers have died in the past six decades trying to climb this mountain.

Hikers face many death threats on Mount Everest, including exhaustion, altitude sickness, unexpected weather changes, strong winds and roaring avalanches. Those who perished on Mount Everest remain there because it’s too dangerous and expensive to bring the bodies back down.
