Everest is a Hindi language Indian telenovela which began airing on STAR Plus on 3 November 2014. Directed by Glenn Baretto and Ankush Mohla and touted as "the most ambitious project on Indian television", Everest was created by Ashutosh Gowariker and produced by Ashutosh Gowariker Productions Private Limited (AGPPL). The show was broadcast at the 10pm time slot. The music of the telenovela, which is Gowariker's television debut as a producer, was composed by A. R. Rahman. Everest is also the television debut of A. R. Rahman as a music composer and was shot in its entirety in India and Nepal. The shooting locations included Everest Base Camp (in Nepal) and the Dokriani Glacier (in India), which are located at a height of 17,590 feet (5,360 m) and 12,000 feet (3,700 m) above sea level, respectively.

A group of students enters Nehru Institute of Mountaineering in Uttarkashi for training to climb Mount Everest. Anjali Singh Rawat, who feels neglected by her father (Jagat Singh Rawat), wants to win his love by fulfilling his dream of the mountain with the aid of her mother (Sarita) and her best friend (Maithili). Videographer Aakash Joshi, who lived with his best friend Gaurav and his mother (Shikha Maa) until Gaurav was killed in an accident for which Aakash feels responsible, is supposed to make a documentary on Arjun Sabharwal's expedition. Sabharwal, an orphan, was a thief before he became India's best mountaineer. His next expedition is Everest.

Anjali climbs alone above Everest Base Camp, and Aakash wants to tell her he loves her. The eight mountaineers (Arun Abhyankar, Arjun, Aakash, Chand and the four sherpas) make their way to Everest, and sherpa Nima falls in the valley of Khumbu while trying to cross with a ladder. The others, mourning his death, set off. Near Camp 2 they encounter loose snow, and Chand crosses it before helping Arjun. Anjali leaves the Base Camp without telling anyone. The snow gives way, and the team is saved from falling to their death by Arun. Before Anjali returns and lowers another rope, Chand tries to sacrifice himself by cutting the rope and easing the strain on Arun. The team tries to contact Nasir, trapped with two others at Camp 4. They reach Camp 3, losing nine oxygen tanks in strong winds. Near Camp 4, they find Nasir near death; his sherpa is dead and his climbing partner, Chris, is missing. Arun tells two of their sherpas to bring Nasir back to Everest Base Camp.
