Three-day tour to Everest Base Camp

📌 The ticket office is very! very! very far from the scenic area! The shuttle bus takes an hour . It seems that private cars can drive into the first part of the journey because there are many villages, small shops, and accommodations there. However, private cars seem to be prohibited further in, and only scenic area vehicles are allowed? 📌 The imagined climb of Everest: snow-capped mountains🏔️, cold wind, down jackets, extreme challenges, life-and-death struggle with nature❌ The reality of climbing Everest: Everest Base Camp, flat ground, almost no climbing, not very cold but very windy, mountains with snow caps⛰️ are very far away⭕ (Climbing Everest is a project for the wealthy, Everest Base Camp is prepared for ordinary people, it's actually just to feel the atmosphere from afar) 📌 Altitude sickness issue: If you have already stayed in Tibet or the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a few days and have adapted, then coming to Everest should be no problem. Just bring a small oxygen bottle from the city, priced at 💰10-15, there's no need to buy those specialized oxygen bottles costing hundreds (no refunds whether they work or not, and you have to return them). As for military coats, if you go during the day, it's not that cold and you don't really need to rent one, you can save a lot of money. However, if your body is relatively weak, you can prepare one just in case. 📌 There are tents⛺ at Everest Base Camp where you can stay overnight, but you need to book in advance. They are large tents divided into shared and standard rooms, but it seems like they are just separated by curtains, with shared bathrooms. 📌 Shuttle buses run from 6:30 to 21:30. 📌 If you don't stay at Everest Base Camp, you can stay at the foot of the mountain (whether on the mountain or at the foot, it's still within the scenic area, and you can take the shuttle bus directly). There are homestays run by Tibetans with Tibetan characteristics, but the conditions are generally not very good. If you have high accommodation requirements, it might not be suitable (it's recommended to stay in newly built and newly opened hotels). When we went in, there were girls👧🏻 from other groups who couldn't get used to it and left directly. There is basically no decoration inside, very primitive, some rooms are separated by cardboard without bathrooms. The advantage is that you live with Tibetans and can see authentic Tibetan-style decorations (the conditions are really not good, but don't shout about it directly, because this is the living condition of many local Tibetans. Water resources are scarce, and the economic conditions are not developed. Even if you are not used to it, please don't say it directly in front of them, it will hurt them).
