5200m Everest Base Camp
pretty windy up here!!! from Shigatste, the second largest city in Tibet, I spent a day driving off road to finally get to the base of the Everest, on Mount Qomolangma…and from here to the base camp at 5200 meters above the sea level.
This is the North side of Mount Everest, that belong to China.
Quite a few yaks around, seems they enjoy the peace of this magical place!

Amazing trip to Tibet and Everest Base Camp
To get there, one must enlist the service of a tour company. They will take care first and foremost your permit to travel. One is recommended to acclimatize days before doing the actual trip around Tibet and heading to see the highest mountain in the world. We stayed at various 4-Star hotels in prior to heading to the base camp where we stayed at local tents with good heating system. The tent owner will take care of you including bedding and food. What an amazing experience!

Mount Qomolangma Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Mount Everest
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.
Seven magnificent and majestic snow-capped mountains within the territory of Tibet
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! 🏔
Leisure time at Everest Base Camp
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. 🌈
Everest: From distant to present miracle
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. 🙏

Mt. Everest National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Back from Tibet, and the rambling begins
Youth has no price tag, getting injections all the way to Lhasa, the impromptu Tibet trip of two sisters.
Day1-2: A routine of hotel and hospital.
Day3: Barkhor Street and its surrounding areas, indulging in various recommended eateries and fun places suggested by outsiders to outsiders.
Day4: Planned to visit Potala Palace and the Heaven Post Office, as well as Medicine King Mountain, but ended up being brainwashed by an auntie right after lunch into taking a limited one-day 'Tibetan beauty' photo shoot. Originally planned for the last day, by the time we finished choosing photos, all the attractions were closed, leaving us to casually enjoy the night view.
Day5-6: A two-day tour in Nyingchi, can't remember the names of all the places we visited, just know we stayed by the Yarlung Tsangpo River, with a view of Mount Namjagbarwa from the window, a sight not often seen by many, not sure if it counts as 'sunlit golden mountain'.
Day7: What a coincidence, it was November 1st, the start of winter travel in Tibet, with most attractions free of charge. Saved 200 yuan visiting Potala Palace, climbing up to the 13th floor was indeed tiring, but the guided tour was really interesting. The exit leads to the Heaven Post Office and the song 'A'Diao', just a pity that Medicine King Mountain was temporarily closed for renovation. Started visiting popular snack shops, ending up with a mouth ulcer.
Day8-11: A four-day tour to Mount Everest, had planned an additional five-day tour to Namtso, but it was closed due to snowfall during those days. Left some regrets, will visit again when the 'Gate of the Holy Elephant' is open. Along the 318, first visited Yamdrok Lake, a blue that can't be captured by a phone, followed by Karola and others, hung prayer flags, scattered Lungta, stayed in Shigatse, took the classic tourist photo at Everest, got my scalp wind-chapped while squatting for the 'sunlit golden mountain'. It's a pity that the base camp was canceled, where's the promised stargazing and wild disco? The 108 bends in the mountain road could confuse me, casually snapping photos at Qilin Gorge.
Day12: Back to Lhasa, indulging in hotpot and meat, leisurely strolling around
Day13: Leisurely lunch, then the ✈️ back to Shenzhen in the afternoon.
In summary, if you don't go to Tibet, you'll always long to go; when you're in Tibet and not feeling well, you can't wait to go home. So, before entering Tibet, you really need to plan well and rest well. If you ask me if I want to go again, at least not in the near future. If I do, it would be a self-driving trip to Ali!!!

Mount Everest is beautiful, but I won't come again next time, take my advice!
Mount Everest is on the itinerary for days 4-5, and the sunrise on the golden mountain is truly beautiful!
I didn't get altitude sickness on Mount Everest, but I got carsick on the 108 turns going up to Everest 😅
-
Overall, these two days were basically one day going to Everest and one day returning to Shigatse with a few checkpoints on the road, getting off to take some photos, mostly on the road
-
You really need to wear more in winter! Especially going up to Everest, the wind is so strong and cold! Bring a big down jacket, I forgot to bring mine, and I was really freezing 🥶 Hats! Wear knitted and windproof ones! Otherwise, your head will hurt 😣
-
🏠 About accommodation at Everest
We stayed at a guesthouse called Pincuo Redan at the foot of the mountain, which had electric blankets but a rather simple environment~, that night was the first day of the lunar new year, everyone was lively in the living room, even setting off fireworks, it was just a makeshift stay for one night, getting up at 3-4 am to watch the starry sky (truly indescribable shock, can only say it was really beautiful!) Breakfast was dumplings cooked by our driver (it's great to have it during the new year hehe)
-
🔵 About oxygen:
Remember to bring a portable oxygen bottle to the base camp
If you have more severe altitude sickness, I saw they were buying medical oxygen tanks for 500r or 700r 🫨 It really depends on your own physical condition, I didn't use anything, didn't feel much, but people with altitude sickness will feel headache, lack of oxygen, and discomfort, in which case portable oxygen may not be very effective (it depends on your own body condition, if you feel uncomfortable and still need to stay at high altitudes, it can indeed be a bit difficult 😅 so I suggest you still buy it, after all, health is the most important!)
-
🔵 Other
1️⃣ If you get carsick, remember to bring motion sickness medicine! There are 108 turns on the way to the base camp, don't eat too much, don't eat too much! It can really make you dizzy...
2️⃣ Bring some snacks and something to stave off hunger, including at Everest where there's not much to buy, and the journey down the mountain is also long! Otherwise, you'll get really hungry
3️⃣ Bring hand warmers to stick on your phone

Everyone has an Everest in their hearts. Although it is worthwhile to have a big pain, it is not everyones feeling that this nights headache cant be understood. Oh, oh, finally, dawn, the group is also If I don't want to eat, I want to go down the mountain early. I want to know how cold it is outside last night. Look at the thick layer of ice on our car. You don't want to wash your face and brush your teeth at this time. ..
Two northeast girls with me in a house didnt catch up with the Everest Observation Deck yesterday afternoon. Its enough to sneak in the cold morning in the morning, and the weather is not good today. We also saw the wonders of Mount Everest with a hat all the year round. . .
Rongbu Temple, the exit of Everest Base Camp, is the highest temple in Shanghai in the world, and is also a Buddhist monk mixed with local characteristics. . . There is also a hotel in the Rongbu Temple, but the accommodation is not much better, and the price is very expensive!
Didnt go in and watched, just smashed two outside, and saw the top of Mount Everest blocked by a cloud in the distance. This is the Everest wearing a hat. . . After getting on the bus for a while, the star found that his glove was in the base camp, and returned to the road, so that he took another shot at a close distance, as if Everest and we were reluctant!
The Nyingma School is the oldest faction of Tibetan Buddhism. The "Ningma" Tibetan language means "old", which is based on the old secret curse that carries forward the Tubo period. The Rongbu Temple is a very representative one of the existing Nyingma temples. It is a rich one. The local temple is the highest temple in the world and the closest temple to Mount Everest. It is the only place in the past that can provide tourists with accommodation. Although the conditions are tough, it is a great place to watch the Everest.
At present, the outer wall of the Rongbu Temple is still being renovated. When we went there, we saw some construction workers in the renovation.
The temple has a pile of Mani stone piles
mountain carved with six-character mantras. Many old town walls have now become ruins. Although they have no living value, they still have historical value and are worthy of experts to study and discover.
