This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are connected, and there will be an 8-day holiday So many friends are planning to travel to Tibet during the National Day, and many people are planning to go to Everest~ . Many people will ask, is Everest 8848 meters above sea level? ✓Everest is indeed 8848 But we are going to 📍Everest Base Camp The altitude of Everest Base Camp is 5️⃣2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣~ . To go to Everest, you need to ✅apply for a border pass It can be handled in Lhasa or Shigatse (it is recommended to handle it at the place of household registration before departure) . Everest experience sharing (speed watch!) ❖Ticket 160/person, transfer to eco-car 120/person ❖108 turns, really too many bends, people who get carsick eat motion sickness medicine in advance ❖Compared to Everest Base Camp, Gawula Mountain Pass must not be missed! The view is super good, you can see five snow-capped mountains over 8000 meters above sea level at once ❖The accommodation at Everest Base Camp is not very good, it is inconvenient to wash, it is recommended to stay in Basong Village~ ❖High anti: This is a point of concern for many sisters. When you reach an altitude of 5200, everyone has some symptoms to varying degrees (it is recommended that everyone buy some bottled oxygen in Shigatse or Lhasa for emergency) ❖The last eco-car is at 21:30 in the evening . 🎈Those who come to Tibet after September, the standard equipment is T-shirt + thermal underwear + fleece storm jacket + Martin boots + hat + sunglasses . 🎈During the National Day in October, it is basically sunny, and it is not as hot as in July and August, and the temperature is very comfortable The temperature is slightly lower in the morning and evening, and the scenery in Tibet at this time is beautiful and picturesque. Those who want to travel to Tibet can come with confidence . 🎈November in Tibet is the off-season for tourism, which is very suitable for a pleasant and not so crowded trip in Tibet . About high anti: 1⃣️After arriving in Lhasa, take a break for 2-3 days, and then go to high-altitude areas after adaptation Don't take a bath or wash your hair in one day, slow down, don't run and jump and other strenuous exercises, keep your mentality calm 2⃣️Medicine: glucose + plateau safety, prepare some motion sickness medicine for those who get carsick 3⃣️Oxygen: If you don't need to inhale, don't inhale. If there is no obvious high anti in Lhasa for a few days, the portable one is enough when going out 4⃣️Drink more hot water! Keep warm! Don't catch a cold!

Is it suitable to go to Tibet in winter? Few people, beautiful scenery, no need to queue for photos, no need to retouch. Except for temples, almost all scenic spots are free. Low cost, transportation and accommodation are more than half cheaper than the peak season. There are many Tibetan festivals in January, and the Tibetan New Year is approaching, which can deeply feel the customs and culture of Tibet. Limited beautiful scenery, glaciers, waterfalls, most of the beautiful scenery has matured in January. ⭕Travel reference (direction of Linzhi) D Lhasa-Basongtso-Linzhi D Linzhi-Sejila Mountain Pass-Guxiang Lake-Ranwu Lake D Ranwu Lake-Laigu Glacier-Bomi County D Bomi County-Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon-Suosong Village D Suosong Village-Namjagbarwa Peak-Buddha Palm Sand Dune-Niyang River Scenery-Lhasa ⭕Don't miss the attractions Potala Palace (free in winter) The Potala Palace in winter is particularly majestic under the blue sky and snow-capped mountains, with fewer tourists, it is not crowded and can be more leisurely.

I have been up close to Mount Everest three times, but the clearest view was in August 2021 at the base camp in the evening. We took the scenic area bus to the base camp at four in the afternoon and didn't come down until seven in the evening, because most of the time we could see the main peak of Mount Everest, which is a rare and grand occasion. The wind was strong and the temperature was low, but once the tripod was set up, we just waited, until the moon rose. Here are a few photos to share with everyone.

Once, Mount Everest was an unreachable place for me, a sacred place that could only be looked up to in dreams or pictures. 🏔️ But now, I stand at the Everest Base Camp, and the snow mountain in front of me is so real, so shocking. At the moment of arriving here, I deeply felt the power of the snow mountain. It is not just a mountain, but a symbol of spirit, the precipitation and accumulation of nature for billions of years. 🌀 Before coming here, I had imagined the scene of meeting Everest countless times, and also thought of ten thousand reasons why I might not meet it. But when I really stand here, all imaginations and doubts have vanished. It is there, unreservedly displayed in front of me, like an ancient guardian, quietly waiting for every visitor. I believe that in the future, I will encounter more snow mountains and grander scenes. But this encounter with Everest, the energy and enlightenment it gives me is irreplaceable. It makes me understand more that in the face of the greatness and vastness of nature, what we can do is to maintain awe and humility, and also not forget to explore and move forward. 🌟 Everest, you are here, quietly guarding this land and every visitor. And I, will also continue my journey with the strength and blessings you give. 🙏

The day before at Gawula Pass, I was fortunate enough to witness the spectacular view of the sunrise over Mount Everest. At that moment, the sun shone on the peak of Everest, as if the whole world was dyed gold. 🌄 In the evening, I chose to stay overnight in Basong Village. The tranquility here contrasts sharply with the magnificence of Everest. The next morning, I took the shuttle bus to Everest Base Camp. The weather was surprisingly good, and there were very few tourists in winter, making it feel like my own world. 🏔️ At the base camp, I chose to 'let go', leisurely enjoying the tranquility and awe that this pure land brings me. But having said that, the view of Everest from Gawula Pass was the most awe-inspiring. The perspective and light there were just right, giving me a deeper reverence for the wonders of nature. 🙏 On this trip to Everest, I not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery, but also found inner peace in letting go. Perhaps, the meaning of travel lies in these inadvertent moments and feelings. 🌈

This is a relaxing trip after resignation, and the destination is Tibet, which I have longed for. Before coming, I was worried about various problems, such as altitude sickness, what to do if there is a lack of oxygen, and the weather getting cold might not allow me to play freely. But once any worries are decided, they are thrown behind my mind, so I set off alone! After arriving, I feel happy to breathe the thin oxygen on the plateau. I went to the Potala Palace and saw the devout Tibetans praying for blessings. I went to Namjagbarwa Peak to see the sunrise, and I went to Mount Everest, which I only saw in textbooks. At night, I saw the starry sky at Mount Everest, which also allowed me to experience the feeling of a full view of the stars. I am very happy that I did not have altitude sickness, which allowed me to enjoy my own time under high altitude! The scenery is also absolutely stunning! It is said that Tibet lacks oxygen, but not faith. Everyone has a dream of Tibet in their hearts. However, everyone must be prepared before setting off, depending on their physical condition. Finally, be brave, Tibet is not far away!!!

The Roof of the World—the Tibetan Plateau, is not only home to the world's highest peak but also boasts a series of famous mountain ranges. These mountains, like a backbone, set up the grandeur and vastness of the Tibetan Plateau, carrying people's hopes and blessings. 1, 🏔 Mount Everest (elevation 8848.86 meters) It is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in China and the world. In Tibetan, 'Zhumu' means 'goddess,' and 'Langma' means 'mother elephant,' which together signify 'Mother of the Earth.' Mount Everest has a giant pyramid shape, standing tall and majestic, reaching into the sky. As the world's highest peak, it attracts countless gazes. Its grandeur is imposing, draped in a thin veil of snow, resembling a celestial maiden. 2, 🏔 Mount Kailash (elevation 6656 meters) It is the second highest peak of the Gangdise mountain range, with its snow-covered summit shining golden in the sunlight. Its pyramid-like shape is distinct from the surrounding peaks and is also considered a sacred mountain by devout followers. 3, 🏔 Mount Kula Kangri (elevation 7538 meters) Located in Lhozhag County in the Shannan region of Tibet, it is known as one of the 'Four Great Sacred Mountains' of central Tibet. The entire snow mountain is composed of three peaks. Standing alongside Mount Kula Kangri are six peaks over 7000 meters high. From a distance, the peaks stand shoulder to shoulder, resembling a towering ice and snow barrier that reaches the sky. 4, 🏔 Namcha Barwa (elevation 7782 meters) It is the highest mountain in Nyingchi, Tibet Autonomous Region. As the sacred site of Tibet's oldest Buddhist tradition, 'Yungdrung Bon,' it is known as the 'Father of Tibetan Mountains.' Its massive triangular peak is perennially snow-covered, shrouded in mist, and rarely reveals its true face, earning it the nickname 'Shy Girl Peak.' 5, 🏔 Shishapangma (elevation 8027 meters) It is an 8000-meter peak entirely within Chinese territory. In Tibetan, Shishapangma means 'the weather is extremely cold, and the climate is harsh and variable,' but the Tibetan people praise it as an 'auspicious sacred mountain.' Its north slope has a glacier valley over 10 kilometers long, with a forest of ice towers shining like a 'crystal garden.' However, it is also covered with crisscrossing ice and snow crevasses and occasional massive ice and snow avalanches, making climbing extremely difficult. 6, 🏔 Mount Sajama (elevation 6956 meters) Located in Yangxiu Township, Biru County, it has stood here for thousands of years, surrounded by mountains, with its main peak revered as the king of local sacred mountains. Its highest peak is 6556 meters, also known as 'Sapuganglaga,' and is one of the sacred mountains of the Bon religion in Tibetan Buddhism. 7, 🏔 Cho Oyu (elevation 8201 meters) It is the sixth highest peak in the world, located on the border between China and Nepal in the Himalayas. 'Cho Oyu' in Tibetan means 'the great master.' Cho Oyu stands tall and mighty in the Himalayas. Cho Oyu has five main ridges, and its mountain is perennially snow-covered, surrounded by snow peaks, with layers of mountains presenting a spectacular view. Let's appreciate the photos of the snow-capped mountains taken by friends who travel to Tibet! 🏔
