Mount Everest in the Himalayas is 50 to 70 million years old. And it is continuing to grow taller, but extremely slowly, as India pushes into Asia.

Everest is as old as time, ever since this planet came into existence

Mount Everest is about 60 million years old.
It was formed over 60 million years ago by the convergence of two plates pushing together. This geological activity is called "plate tectonics."
