Everest is an Indian Hindi-language telenovela telecast on StarPlus. Directed by Glenn Baretto and Ankush Mohla, Everest is created by Ashutosh Gowariker and produced by Ashutosh Gowariker Productions Private Limited (AGPPL). A. R. Rahman composed the music for the telenovela, which is the television debut of both Gowariker and Rahman, as producer and music composer respectively. Everest was shot in India and Nepal, with shooting locations including the 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. The telenovela was shot in extreme conditions and temperatures.
Everest premiered on STAR Plus on 3 November 2014 and ended its run on 1 March 2015, after airing 102 episodes. The plot revolves around Anjali Singh Rawat's (Shamata Anchan) expedition to climb Mount Everest with Aakash Joshi (Rohan Gandotra) and others. By climbing the summit, Anjali wants to win her father's love while Aakash wants to make a documentary on Arjun Sabharwal (Sahil Salathia), who is on the expedition with them. Prior to its premiere, STAR network employed a series of marketing strategies to help promote the telenovela, one of them being by helping the audience connect to the story by metaphorically interpreting "Everest" to mean an individual's personal journey to overcome struggles. The telenovela also received sponsorships and promotional help from various brands, the news, and the social networking media. Everest involved a high production cost.
