Highlight
It protects the Tibetan (northern) side of Everest, known in Tibetan and Chinese as Qomolangma, mother goddess of the universe
Declared in 1988 and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2004, it protects the northern, Tibetan side of Everest, known in Tibetan and Chinese as Qomolangma, which translates roughly as mother goddess of the universe — a name that reflects the mountain's deep Tibetan Buddhist significance, quite unlike the largely sporting approach usually taken from the Nepalese side.
