How old is mountain lhotse?

Mount Lhotse, located in the Himalayas on the border between Tibet and Nepal, was first climbed in 1956. The mountain itself, like other peaks in the region, is millions of years old, formed through geological processes such as tectonic plate movements. Specifically, the Himalayan range, including Lhotse, began to rise about 50 million years ago. Thus, while the mountain's climbing history is relatively recent, its geological age is ancient.
