George Everest House is situated about 6 kms from Gandhi Chowk in Mussoorie and one of the major tourist attractions in Mussoorie. Sir George Everest's House and Laboratory, also known as the Park Estate was built in 1832. It was the home and laboratory of Sir George Everest. He was a Surveyor-General of India from 1830 to 1843. Sir George was largely responsible for completing the section of the Great Trigonometric Survey of India along the meridian arc from the south of India extending north to Nepal. Hillary and Tenzing were the first successful persons who ascended the Mount Everest. Later on they named this peak as a Mount Everest to give tribute to Sir George Everest. The house is situated in a place from where you can see panoramic view of the Doon Valley on one side and the snow clad Himalayan ranges on the other.
