Everest Base Camp Resort along Tibet Trip

[tourofchina]

Standing at 8844.43 meters above sea level, Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world, and also the main peak of Himalayas along Trip to china. The summit is situated on the border between china and Nepal, and its south side belongs to Nepal, while north side belongs to Tibet Autonomous Region of china. The shape of the mountain is just like a huge pyramid, which is the most fascinating destination for tourists all over the world. Moreover, traveling at the foot of Mount Everest symbolizes the limit of self-challenge as Mount Everest enjoys the reputation of the roof of the world with more than 40 high peaks in 7000 meters above sea level nearby.

Under no circumstance do I recommend going from the Kathmandu Valley to Everest Base Camp Tibet tour. This route ascends far too quickly. If you have to enter Tibet from Nepal, start by going to Lhasa by plane. Then, spend a few days acclimatizing there before setting out along the Friendship Highway towards Everest Base Camp. An even better option is to start by taking the train from Xining to Lhasa. Xining sits at 2300m and is a good place to spend a night or two before traveling to Lhasa. After spending 3 or 4 nights in Lhasa, then continue to Mt. Everest stopping for the night in Gyantse, Shigatse, Shegar and maybe even a night in either Tashi Dzom or Basum before arriving at Everest Base Camp. If you think you will not do well spending the night at Everest Base Camp, just spend the day there instead. Again, proper acclimatization will not eliminate the risk of altitude sickness, but it will greatly reduce it.

An overnight stay will give you a better chance to see Everest. If you come all that way it is worth staying around to see the peak China travel guide. It's often uncomfortable and difficult to sleep at night at such a high altitude. If you can't sleep because of headaches, shortness of breath, etc., you can enjoy a spectacular starry sky on a clear night, unblemished by light pollution, and with fewer atmospheres in the way. Watching the sunrise/sunset the China side of Mt. Everest is a special experience. As Everest is south of the base camp, and because sunrise is delayed due to the height of surrounding mountains, the sun rises more in the southeast, and Everest is caught in a golden glow on a clear morning. Likewise with southwesterly Tibet EBC sunsets. The closer to winter the better the southerly sunrise effect. In May sunrise is from 7:00 to 7:30. In October sunrise is from 8:00 to 8:30.
