Leaving Lhatse.

The Gyantso-La Pass.
     
.  
Gyantso-La pass, at 5220 metres above sea level; one of the highest areas of the trip.  Some will experience light headedness, and possibly a headache.  The key is to relax, breathe, and enjoy the scenery.

.
 


Don't let this pretty face fool you, there are many Tibetans at the pass asking/begging for money.

Breath taking scenery on the way to Shegar. 

 
 
 

 
  You will arrive in Shegar at night.  You can buy Oxygen here for 40Y.  Stock up on water and food in Shegar as the prices at EBC are inflated.
 
Arriving at the entrance of the Mt. Everest Basecamp.  The 4x4's cannot go any further.  You can choose to 1) hike to the basecamp (approx. 2-3hrs), 2) take a horse carriage there (20mins to camp), or 3) Stay at the Rongphu monestary.
