    Itinerary Details ( Click on the days to see the extended form. )

    • Departure at 06:30 hr. from your hotel in Kathmandu.
      After an approx. 6 hours drive we reach Kodari (China /Nepal Boarder).
      Further half hr. drive by truck will bring us to Zhangmu. Zhangmu (2300
      metres) is remarkable town that hugs the rim of a seemingly no ending
      succession of hairpin bends down the customs area at the border of China.
      After the completion of Immigration formalities all check drive to Nyalam.
      Nyalam (3750 metres) is a funky little town around 30 km before the Nepal
      border. It has been steadily growing in size and facilities have been
      improving over the last few years. This no doubt due to burgeoning trade
      opportunities with near by Nepal. O/N in ZHANGMU.

      waterfalls. After 1.5 hr. drive bring us to Nyalam pass (3800m) with the

    • From Shegar The Everest access road turns off the Friendship Highway around five km west of Shegar check point shortly after km market 494, from which point it winds and climbs its way 63 km to Rongbuk Monastery and on to base camp. Although there were probably monastic settlements in the area for several hundred years, Rongbuk Monastery is fairly recent. It was established in 1902 by a Nyingmapa Lama. Perhaps not of great antiquity, it can at least lay claim to being the highest monastery in Tibet and thus the world, at 4980 meters. There were once 500 monks and nums living here but local reports that the number is now only 16. Accommodation and very basic food are available at the monastery. The rooms are comfortable, heated with stoves. O/N in Rongbuk.

    • Drive to Everest Base Camp from Rongbuck Monastery. The base camp is a dry,
      barren place, but the views of Everest more than make up for this. Have a
      photo taken a the base camp marker which disappointingly does not even
      mention the world “Everest” It reads Mt Qomolangma Base Camp and the Chinese
      below in indicates 5200 metres above the sea level. On a small hill to the
      left of the base camp marker are a couple of prayer poles. Clamber up for
      great views of the world’s highest peak. After visit to Everest Base Camp
