For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When it was first measured in the 1800's, the height was calculated at exactly 29000 ft. As the surveyors thought everyone would think they had guessed the height, they officially made 29002ft. It is still rising today as the Indian sub continent plate rams its way north into the bottom of the Asian plate and pushes the Himalayas ever upward.
