It is also known variously as Ngojumba Kang, Ngozumpa Kang and Ngojumba Ri. In September 2013 a government panel recommended that two mountains on the ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang be called Hillary Peak and Tenzing Peak as part of a batch of new summits that would be opened to climbers in 2014.

Tenzing Norgay became the first Director of Field Training of the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling, when it was set up in 1954. In January 1975, with permission of the King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, Norgay served as "sirdar" (guide) for the first American tourist party allowed into the country. Brought together by
