The summit sits exactly on a border — which is why two countries claim it. Everest straddles the Nepal–Tibet line: the south face rises in Nepal, the north in Tibet, and climbers pick a side with different permits, costs, and crowds (National Geographic education). The official height is 8,848.86 metres (29,031.69 feet) — the joint 2020 Nepal–China snow height — replacing older figures like 29,029 feet still floating around listicles (Britannica).
