Everest Base Camp Trek from Tibet Side
Location: Tibet, Asia
Mt. Everest, called Mount Qumulangma in
Tibetan Language, is the highest peak of
the Earth and probably the most coveted
mountain in adventurous travelers’ eyes.
Journey to Mt. Everest Base Camp is a
both physical as well as psychological
challenge to you, but it will definitely
reward you with the most unparalleled
views – a panorama of Himalayan peaks -
and never-forgotten beautiful memories.
With our experienced local Tibetan tour
guide, you will be well taken care and
have a better insight into the Himalayan
environment and local culture, delight
yourself with more spectacular mountain
views, lush forested valleys, and
opportunities to learn about the Tibetan
religion.
Tour to Mt. Everest region from Tibet
side, you can choose either stop at
Rongbuk Monastery or at Mt. Everest Base
Camp, if not for mountaineers.
Rongbuk Monastery is a good place for
overlooking Mt. Everest. It’s only 25
kilometers straightaway from the Everest
Peak. Rongbuk Monastery is the highest
monastery on the earth, with an altitude
of 5,100 meters (16728 feet). The
monastery was built in 1899, as a
Nyingmapa monastery since it was said
that once Padmasambhava, founder of
Nyingmapa, preceded his religious
cultivation here. It is one of the very
few monasteries that houses Lamas and
nuns in the same monastery.
Further into the mountains, about 8.8
kilometers from the Rongbuk Monastery is
Mt. Everest Base Camp. With the attitude
5180 meters (17000 ft), it is often
regard as the last stop for common
tourists and a start point for
mountaineers trying to conquer the
world's highest peak. You have to bring
your own camping and cooking stuffs if
you want to stay there. Enjoy a one
moment beautiful sunset view here makes
all your adventure and expense on the
way desirable. The noted Serac Groups-Serac
World is also 3 hours car drive away
from here.
Weather in the world's highest mountain
range is rather unpredictable. Be sure
to get yourself physically and
psychologically well prepared. One of
the obstacles you have to face is the
Acute Mountain Sickness which happens on
this high-altitude adventure. Read more
about Mountain Sickness and ways to
avoid it.
