Nepal used the Bay of Bengal as its sea stage, however India had already surveyed a degree nearer to Everest, close to the India-Nepal border, from the bay, and was in a position to present the Nepalese surveyors with the peak at that time.
Nepal waxay adeegsatay Bay of Bengal oo ah qaybta waqooyi-bari ee badweynta Hindiya, inay tahay heerkeeda badda,balse Hindiya waxay horey u sahamisay meel u dhow buurta Everest, oo u dhow xadka Hindiya iyo Nepal, laga bilaabo gacanka, waxayna awoodday inay siiso baarayaasha Nepal dhererka xilligaas.
