Nepal and China are set to jointly announce the revised height of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, on Tuesday.
The Nepal government decided to measure the exact height of the mountain amid debates that there might have been a change in its height due to various reasons, including the devastating earthquake of 2015. According to the measurement done in 1954 by Survey of India, the height of Mt. Everest is 8,848 meters.
