Along the only rough road in the base camp of Mt. Qomolangma, 61 Tibetan tent hostels of different sizes are dotted both sides. They look similar in color and style.

Tibet often sees most tourists in summer when the base camp of Mt. Qomolangma is also visited most, which refers to a preserve base built at 5,200 meters elevation for the protection of Mt. Qomolamgma's environment at its core area.

The straight-line distance from the base camp to the top of the peak is 19 kilometers. The camp's ticket price is 180 yuan (30 US dollars) per person and 400 yuan (64 US dollars) for each van.

The base camp is filled with Tibetan tents serving as hostels, teahouses, shops, and post office. Basically, there are solar cell panels in front of each tent to provide light at night.
