Mount Everest: A Must-Conquer Destination in Your Lifetime!

Mount Everest Base Camp (5200 meters): Check in at the monument and try some star photography (requires overnight camping). Gyawu La Pass (5198 meters): Overlook five 8000-meter-high snow-capped mountains (Mount Everest, Lhotse, etc.) from the viewing platform. 🌄Itinerary and Transportation: Classic Route: Lhasa → Shigatse → Tingri County → Mount Everest Base Camp Lhasa to Shigatse: 2.5 hours by train (CNY 40) or 5 hours by car. Shigatse to Tingri County: 6 hours by bus (CNY 80). You need to obtain a Border Defense Permit in advance (from your place of household registration or Lhasa). Tingri to Mount Everest Base Camp: Eco-friendly shuttle bus within the scenic area, CNY 120/person, 2-hour drive (passing through the 108-turn mountain road). Self-driving/Chartered Car: Chartering an SUV from Lhasa (4-6 people) costs approximately CNY 6000-8000/vehicle, including driver, fuel, and tolls. 🏨🍜Accommodation and Dining: Base Camp Tent Hostel: Dormitory beds are CNY 100-150/person, providing simple bedding (sleeping bags are recommended). Tingri County Hotels: Standard rooms are CNY 200-400/night (e.g., Baiba Hotel). Food: Mainly Tibetan noodles, butter tea, and instant noodles. Bring your own high-calorie snacks. 💗Other Tips: Altitude Sickness Prevention: Start taking Rhodiola two weeks in advance. Avoid washing your hair or taking a shower within three days of arriving in Tibet. If you experience headaches or vomiting, descend to a lower altitude immediately. Environmental Responsibility: Carry all trash down the mountain (including excrement); violators will be heavily fined. Do not use disposable plastic bottles (drinking water stations are available at Base Camp). Cultural Respect: Circle Mani stones clockwise. Do not touch prayer flags or ritual objects.
