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!

Tibet is really not a place to just go on a whim 🤬 Without preparation, you will definitely encounter pitfalls!!!
Tibet is suitable for travel all year round, but during the peak summer season, it's overcrowded and you have to queue up for attractions. It's recommended that sisters with time can set out in May-June 🌟 to avoid the peak season and have a full experience.

⚠ About altitude sickness
Many friends worry about getting altitude sickness when entering Tibet. For first-timers to high altitudes, it's common to experience some degree of altitude sickness, which usually gets better after a few days. However, some may suffer more severely and should seek timely hospital treatment for oxygen and IV fluids. You won't know if you'll get altitude sickness until you're there, but don't worry too much. Take precautions and pay attention to the following points 👇👇👇, personally tested! They are very helpful in alleviating altitude sickness~
.
⚠ Preventing altitude sickness
👇 Taking Rhodiola one week in advance can improve the body's tolerance to hypoxia.
👇 Definitely do not bathe or wash your hair in the first two days after arriving in Lhasa to avoid catching a cold which can worsen altitude sickness.
👇 Upon arrival at the plateau, avoid high-intensity, frequent exercise; walk slowly and rest often.
👇 Traveling in Tibet involves long car journeys, and high altitudes can deplete energy faster. Hunger can worsen altitude sickness, so always carry high-calorie snacks like chocolate/glucose to replenish energy in time.
👇 Be sure to keep warm, especially your head. Hats are essential as many attractions are quite windy.
👇 It's advisable to carry a thermos; drinking hot water in cold weather is really comfortable and also helps alleviate altitude sickness.
.
⚠ Other Tips
☑ There are really many winding mountain roads in Tibet, especially the 108 turns near Mount Everest, which can easily cause motion sickness. Remember to prepare motion sickness medicine or patches.
☑ The ultraviolet rays in Tibet are very strong, so daily sun protection is necessary. Sunglasses and sun hats are indispensable.
☑ The air in Tibet is really dry, so it's important to stay hydrated and moisturized. Carry a lip balm; the inside of your nose can also get very dry and painful, so consider bringing nasal spray or erythromycin ointment.
☑ The Lhasa city area is not large, and you can travel freely.
Lhasa must-visits: Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, Jokhang Temple, Medicine King Mountain, Tibet Museum, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Sera Monastery, Nanshan Park. Other attractions in Tibet are far away, and since there are no direct buses to the attractions, it's recommended to join a local non-shopping tour group, which is very convenient and saves trouble! You can refer to the following itinerary~ The scenery is beautiful, and the experience is also very good.

Four days from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp
DAY 1:
We set off from Lhasa, passing through the Karola Glacier, Manla Reservoir, and Tashilhunpo Monastery before settling down in Shigatse city.
The Tashilhunpo Monastery is really beautiful, with every detail inside being so intricate and the design so strong, the whole temple is very comfortable. I was also fortunate to enter the Grand Hall to watch the monks debate and take classes, which was a very lucky experience.
DAY 2:
Today, on the way to the Everest Base Camp, I had a barley popsicle and encountered the Tibetan people's barter day, which was such a surprise! It was very lively, all Tibetans, no extra tourists, it was really great! I bought some Tibetan incense bags and South Red Agate, both are good!
At the foot of Everest, I had a hot latte. Then at Everest Base Camp, we entered a tent and had a luxurious version of instant noodles in a very atmospheric setting.
I also fulfilled my 10-year dream of Everest, seeing the true face of Everest! 10 years later, Everest Base Camp has become a happy base camp, no longer having the solemn and sacred feeling it used to have!
DAY 3:
🏔 Another painful night spent at Everest Base Camp, this time I knew how to protect myself. But still woke up in the middle of the night with a headache, tried inhaling oxygen, but I don't think it helped much. Overall, this time was better than the one 10 years ago.
🥤For the sake of the word 'Everest' on a cup sleeve, we bought milk tea and coffee. I had a white peach barley tea, which actually tasted quite good. After having delicious milk tea, I didn't feel carsick anymore.
🚘 In the morning, we drove from Everest to Lhasa, the scenery along the way was unparalleled.
🍲 We arrived back in Lhasa at almost 11 pm and went to eat Tan's fish head. It was really delicious and spicy, and I had a great time with Marco and his family.
🛌 We stayed in the work and rest room of the inn for the night, just making do.
DAY 4:
☕️ Today I finally had time to find a Tibetan tea house and had a pot of sweet tea for 6 yuan in this unfamiliar afternoon. The diners in the tea house changed batch after batch, and I sat for a very long time. I really like this kind of tea house that only locals visit.
👣 I walked around Jokhang Temple Square and bought some small prayer wheels to take back as souvenirs.
🥢 In the evening, I had sauerkraut chicken, which tasted very good, much better than the stone pot chicken we had in Lulang. I also tried barley wine, and the time spent with Xiao Ma was very happy.

Tibet needs to be on your bucketlist
Recently I was very fortunate to be able to travel to Tibet. Besides visiting the Potala Palace in Lhasa we went to see many monasteries in both Lhasa and Shigatse and of course we had to spend a night at Mount Everest base camp. It was a great experience.

In any place in the future! ! (Next week, Hulun Buir Prairie, I can show my skills)

How many people want to go to Tibet when they mention spiritual purification, but Tibet does not want to purify you. Especially the low quality, those tourists who saw the beauty leaving behind the garbage. Now that Everest is closed indefinitely due to ecological problems, I want to say good!
Of course, visitors can enjoy the beauty of Mount Everest in the location of Rongbu Temple in the future. The base camp has been withdrawn, and it is forbidden to travel to individuals or units. But I hope that the environment of the Rongbu Temple will not encounter this difficulty one day.
Love the environment, everyone is responsible. Otherwise, it is our own that will end up with bad consequences.

Everest, the existence of God in countless people. Speaking of dreams, since this life has no chance to climb, it is enough to be grateful to stand in the base camp and see its mountains.
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, and the fifth highest distance from the center of the earth. Although the road to Mount Everest is extremely rough, take a few steps and pant...
But when you stand at the base camp of 5,200 meters, you can see the stars at your fingertips and the Everest after the fog has gradually dispersed. Rong, you will worship the greatness and wonder of nature! Everything that can be touched by the naked eye is incomparably sacred. It is made by the mother of nature and warns us to be grateful and bowed at all times.
Before you go to Everest, remember to first run the border defense certificate in Lhasa or the residence registration area!

The recent news about the closure of the Everest Base Camp has caused controversy among many tourists. Some people are glad that they went to the base camp in advance, and some people regret that they have not been there before. According to the announcement, it is forbidden for any unit or individual to enter the core area of Rongbu Temple above the Everest National Nature Reserve. All that is done is to implement the relevant requirements of the National "Green Shield" action and effectively protect the ecological environment of the nature reserve. In this regard, after consulting with Tibetan friends, I learned that Everest Base Camp was indeed notified that it was forbidden to enter. Although the base camp is not allowed to enter, tourists can still see Mount Everest at the location of the Rongbu Temple, but this is almost a "regret" for everyone. But it was not only the Everest Base Camp but also 40 glaciers that were closed.
