Precise levelling is conducted to carry height from the southern plains of Nepal to the selected control points.
Trignometrical levelling is performed from selected control points(points to which height is carried by precise levelling).
Gravity survey was conducted to define the local geoid around the Everest region
GNSS based survey was conducted for determining locations of gravity points, bench marks as well as top of Sagarmatha.
GNSS and GPR survey was carried out at the top of the Sagarmatha. The team of two surveyor and number of sherpas successfuly summitted the Sagarmatha and did necessary observations. GNSS survey was conducted for 1 hour 16 minutes.
The team of surveyor from Survey Department conducted successfuly on 22 of May at 3 00 AM. The team conducted GNSS observation for 1 hour 16 minutes and also Ground Penetrating Radar for snow depth observation.
Survey Department received technical equipments from Trimble Company that will support in Mt. Everest Height Measurement Program. Official handover ceremony was organized at the Survey Department on 7th of Februrary, 2019.
Consultation Workshop for finalizing the methodology developed by Survey Department was conducted on 11-12 December 2017. The workshop finalized the working methodology of the everest heith measurement
