We reached the Everest Base Camp by cross country vehicle. But I didn’t want my trip over like this. Maybe I could climb up more higher?
Together with two members of our team, I started out!

It’s the seventh day since we arrived Tibet.
After a night’s rest near Rongbuk Monastery, I was already seasoned with the altitude (5200 meters above the sea leavel). And I found it’s so easy to reach the Everest Base Camp by cross country vehicle.
But was it a good news?

It’s the name of book written by Jon Krakauer. The Full name is Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster.Before I climbed the Haba snow mountain in October 2003, I brought this book. It was recommend by a famous enterpriser named Wangshi. We went Haba snow mountain together with him. Wangshi reached the peak of the Everest early that year. He said this was the best reading if you want know something about snow mountain adventure.

Rongbuk Monastery is only about 8 km. (4.97 mi.) to the Everest Base Camp, It’s just on the way travelers visite the Everest. There are a white pagoda and a Mani Stone pile in front of the monastery , It’s the best foreground to take photographs of Everest.
