Mount Everest is approximately 60 million years old.
This age refers to the geological processes that ultimately led to its formation. The collision of the Indian subcontinent with Eurasia, a process that started about 60 million years ago, caused the uplift that created the Himalayas and, consequently, Mount Everest. You can view a present-day map of the Indian subcontinent to understand its location and context in this geological event.
