Day 5: Shigatse to Everest Base Camp (B)

Take the most use of your time today to admire the stunning Himalayan mountain ranges!

After breakfast, you will head directly to Mount Everest.

First, you will pass Gyatsola Pass (5280m). At Gyatsola Pass viewpoint, you’ll catch your first glimpse of Mount Everest. Hidden behind the mountain range, the Everest resembles a budding lotus flower, a captivating sight along the roadside.

Shortly after we enter Mount Everest National Nature Reserve, you will enjoy the panoramic view of the Himalayas at Gawula Pass (5198m). At this viewpoint, you will marvel at the majestic lineup of the five highest peaks in the Himalayas, including Everest at the forefront. This is your second glimpse of Everest.

Then we drive along the new zigzag road to Everest Base Camp (5200m). As you get close to the base camp, the majestic Everest gradually unfolds before you, drawing nearer with each winding turn. This marks your third view of Everest.

Upon reaching Everest Base Camp, the colossal white pyramid peak of Mount Everest stands towering before you. As the day transitions to dusk, witness the golden hues of the sun casting a warm glow on Everest's northern face—your fourth view.

As night falls, the sparkling Milky Way and the snow-white peak of Mount Everest reveal your fifth and final encounter with Everest.

Stay overnight at Everest Base Camp or in the local village near EBC if the EBC tent hotels are closed during the winter season.

Insider Tips:
1. The visibility of Everest is subject to weather conditions and cannot be guaranteed.

2. During the winter season, typically from November to March, the tent hotels at Everest Base Camp close. Therefore, if you’re traveling in winter, your accommodation options are limited to the village near EBC.

In the morning, before departing from the base camp, you will visit Rongbuk Monastery, the world’s highest monastery, where nuns and monks live together at 5154 meters above sea level.

Then, you will cross the Himalayas and take a drive to Gyirong at the Sino-Nepal border. Across the 380-kilometer journey, marvel at the evolving scenery - from snow-capped peaks towering over 5000 meters to the lush forests and canyon vistas at around 2800 meters above sea level.

As you pass by Mt. Shishabangma (8027 meters), one of the world’s highest mountains over 8000 meters, you can enjoy a close view of the three main peaks of Shigabangma, as well as the golden glow of Pelku Tso Lake beneath the peaks.

Farewell to Tibet and welcome to Nepal today!

After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to your Tibetan guide and driver. Our Nepali staff will meet you at the Nepal border, assist with handling your large luggage (additional fee required), help you apply for a Nepal visa, and ensure a safe transfer for both you and your belongings to your hotel in Kathmandu with Tibet Vista’s vehicle.

After entering Nepal, you will see many snow mountains in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, such as Gaurishankar Himal (7134m), Ganesh Himal (7422m), Annapurna Range's Annapurna III (7555m), Lamjung W (6983 m), Mount Kanguru (6981m), Himchuli West (6441m), Ngadi Chuli (7871 m), and Gaurishankar (7181m).

Due to the poor road conditions, we will not make frequent stops. Nevertheless, you'll be treated to captivating landscapes along the way, savoring the last glimpses of the Himalayas.

Upon your arrival at your hotel in Kathmandu, the tour service ends.

Insider Tips:
1. If you prefer to use our border transfer service, there is an additional charge of 60 USD per person as the transfer from the Gyirong border to your hotel in Kathmandu is not included in the Tibet tour package.
2. Alternatively, you can choose to take the public bus from the border to downtown Kathmandu and then take a taxi to your hotel from the downtown bus station. The cost for the public bus is less than 50% of our transfer service, and the taxi fee is usually around 5 USD.

Lhasa to Kathmandu Trip Notes

1. How far in advance should I book the tour from Lhasa to Kathmandu?

To ensure a smooth journey, it is recommended to book the tour at least 15-20 days before departure.

Of course, booking 1 or 2 months or even earlier will help us apply for necessary travel documents on your behalf and make advance reservations for accommodations.

Additionally, early booking provides the opportunity to enjoy early bird discounts.

The earlier you book, the better prepared you'll be, and you won't be troubled in a rush.

2. What are the necessary travel documents for traveling from Lhasa to Kathmandu?

Before you leave, make sure to get your Chinese Visa and Tibet Travel Permit in advance so you can enter the Tibet Autonomous Region.

Some other local travel documents, like the Alien’s travel permit for visiting areas outside Lhasa, can be obtained upon your arrival in Tibet.

We’ll take care of Tibet Travel Permit, as well as other local travel documents as part of our tour package. Simply follow our guidance, and there’s no need to worry about the process.

For the Nepal Visa, you need to pay 30 USD in cash to apply for a 15-day Nepal visa at the border. Please prepare the visa fee in advance.

3. How to apply for the Tibet Travel Permit and how long can I get my Tibet Permit?

Once you book your Lhasa to Kathmandu tour with us, simply provide scanned copies of your Chinese Visa and a valid passport (with at least 6 months of validity).

If you traveling with a work visa, you will need proof of employment in China, and a study visa requires proof of your study in China.

Generally, it takes 7-14 working days to process the Tibet Travel Permit. Once the permit is successfully issued, we will mail it to your address in China 3-5 days before your Tibet trip, ensuring you can smoothly board the train or flight to Tibet.

4. When is the best time to take this Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour?

The best time to travel from Lhasa to Kathmandu is in Spring (April to early June) and Autumn (September to October) with fine weather, pleasant temperatures, and less rainfall. This means you have more chances to enjoy a clear view of the summit of Mt. Everest during your trip.

Winter is also an excellent season to witness the Himalayas and appreciate the clear mountain views in the Everest region. As the off-season for Tibet tourism, winter provides more affordable tour prices, making it a more cost-effective time for your visit from Lhasa to Kathmandu.

Summer (July to August) is the rainy season in Tibet. While most rainfall occurs at night, it doesn't impact daytime activities. The only inconvenience for visiting in summer is that roads on the Nepal side are often affected by heavy rains, potentially causing landslides and road damage.

5. Is there a chance of not seeing Mount Everest on this tour? What should I do if it's not visible?

Because of the high altitude and unpredictable weather, you might not always see the top of Mount Everest in bad weather. But don’t worry. We’ve designed this route that gives you four chances to witness Everest on your way, so you’re likely to catch a good view.

To increase your chances, consider visiting Mount Everest during spring or autumn when the weather is more stable. Feel free to check with our travel experts for the latest weather updates when planning your Everest Base Camp tour in Tibet.

Most importantly, stay positive, relax, and enjoy the journey. Don’t get too hung up on seeing the peak of Mount Everest. Even if you miss it, you’ll still experience amazing natural views and the unique landscapes of the Himalayas.

The overland expedition from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp is more than just about the mountain; it's an adventure into the wonders of the Tibet Plateau.

6. What is the road condition from Lhasa to Kathmandu?

The road from Lhasa to Kathmandu boasts good conditions. A major part of the route is comprised of well-paved asphalt roads suitable for regular vehicles, spanning approximately 820 km to Gyirong Port at the Sino-Nepal border.

However, the remaining section from the border to Kathmandu, covering around 180 kilometers, transforms into a dusty and bumpy terrain.

Despite the road’s challenges, the scenic beauty along the segment is truly captivating. Additionally, our experienced local drivers, who know Tibet’s roads well, are here to make sure your overland journey in Tibet is as safe and comfortable as possible.

7. Where to stay during the overland journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu?

In cities like Lhasa and Shigatse, accommodation options range from luxury 5-star to economic 3-star, allowing you to choose based on your budget and preferences.

However, at Everest Base Camp, the only accommodation option is the tent hotel, which offers quite basic lodging with relatively simple facilities. Most of the Tibetan-style tent hotels at Everest Base Camp feature dormitory-style sleeping arrangements.

During the winter season, the tent hotel will close, and accommodations need to be arranged in Zhaxizong Township or Tingri near the base camp.

In Gyirong town near the border, accommodation options are quite limited and basic. Typically, the Pingcuo Kangsang Gyirong Hotel is the only available choice, offering very basic facilities that cannot be compared with hotels in Lhasa and Shigatse. Please understand the limitations in this remote border area.

8. What to eat during this tour?

The meals involved in this package include hotel breakfasts, a welcome dinner, and two lunches - one at the Drepung Monastery and the other at a local restaurant in a Tibetan village near Yamdrok Lake.

While traveling, you’ll have the flexibility to explore a diverse range of dining options for other lunches and dinners. Tibetan and Sichuan restaurants are quite common.

If you have specific dietary needs, such as vegetarian preferences or any other requirements, please inform your travel consultant in advance so that we can make the necessary preparations.

9. What to wear when visiting Everest Base Camp?

Whenever you visit Tibet, especially visit the Everest Base Camp, you need to prepare warm clothing for cold weather at such a high altitude.

It's advisable to wear outerwear that is easy to put on and take off, allowing you to adjust your clothing according to temperature changes.

For your upper body, consider layering with thick autumn clothing (or thermal underwear), a sweater or fleece, and a thick down jacket or windbreaker. Opt for windproof trousers and warm autumn trousers for the lower body. Choose non-slip sports shoes or hiking boots for your footwear.

Don't forget essentials like a scarf, gloves, and a hat.

10. What to pack for the Everest Base Camp tour?

Besides the clothes to take, here are some more things to prepare for your trip to Everest Base Camp.

Personal Care: Pack your essentials such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, facial cleanser, towels, and other personal toiletries. Since there are no shower facilities at Everest Base Camp, consider bringing wet wipes for convenience.
Skincare: Due to the dry climate in Tibet, pack lip balm, moisturizing cream, and hydrating masks to prevent skin dryness and cracking.
Sun Protection: Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and sunglasses for effective sun protection against the strong UV rays in Tibet.
Additional Necessities: Considering the long distances between attractions in Tibet, bring a U-shaped pillow for a comfortable journey. Also, having a thermal flask ensures you have hot water whenever needed.
Common Medications: Take essential medications like motion sickness pills, gastrointestinal medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicine, and other medications for emergencies. Include adhesive bandages and eye drops. (Consult your doctor and carefully follow medical advice when taking medication.)
Electronic Devices: Bring your phone, camera, power bank, and any other necessary electronic devices. If you plan to bring a drone, check with our travel consultant in advance. Tibet operates on a 220V voltage.
Cash and Cards: Alipay and WeChat Pay are widely accepted in major cities like Lhasa and Shigatse. Credit cards can be used in some large hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls in Lhasa. However, in remote areas, cash may still be necessary. It's advisable to carry a small amount of Chinese yuan and at least one bank card with you.

11. What are the toilets like at Everest Base Camp?

In recent years, there have been significant improvements to the sanitary facilities at Everest Base Camp. Now, solar-powered portable toilets are used at Everest Base Camp.

These portable toilets have not only made tremendous strides in environmental conservation but are also suitable for various climate conditions throughout the four seasons, providing a more comfortable and convenient restroom experience.

These upgrades make tourists feel more at ease when going to Everest Base Camp because the toilets are cleaner, more modern, and follow environmentally friendly and sustainable practices.
