Everest (8844.43m). Let’s share the experience of a private trekking tour of 27th of Oct in Shigatse.
Enjoy the imposing mountains along Majestic Himalayas at Gawu La Pass (5198m)
Shortly after you enter Mt. Everest Nature Reserve, you will pass famous Gawu La Pass which is widely believed to be the best place to photograph breathtaking panorama of Himalayan Range. Lofty mountains like Makalu(8463m), Lhotse(8516m), Mt. Everest (8844.43m) and Cho Oyu (8201m) and Shishapangma(8012m) stand side by side above the skyline with dense clouds floating above your head.
Compared with the scenery of Himalayas in Nepal, Mountain scenery in Tibet is more mind-blowing without obstruction of neighboring mountains. The entire Himalaya is completely exposed to your sight.
The Endless Road Stretching into Great Vista
From Tingri(4390m, we official begin the 70km trek to Everest Base Camp(5200m). it’s both physically and mentally strenuous. However the landscape and experience are worth a try.
Happen to See Tibetan Gazelle Grazing on the Grass

Pass a Small Village at the Foot of Hillside
