| Expedition begins
when you arrive to Kathmandu where you meet the staff
of Mactrek & Expedition in the airport and transfer
you to hotel. Next day, we have introduction section with
other climbing members & Expedition crews. Since then
we make your Tibet visa and other necessary document for
the Everest Expedition.
After 3 day, we drive you towards Nepal-Tibet border
up to Friendship Bridge through Arniko Highway, where
the Chinese liaison officer and Chinese transport meet
us. The expedition gears go by truck while we travel
by Land cruiser 4wd.
We take time to acclimatize with one night at Zhangmu
(2300m) and two nights at Nylam (3750m), which also
gives us the chance to trek up high hills for acclimatization.
Next day we drive to Tingri (4350m) where we spend
further two nights acclimatizing. Then we drive Tingri
to Base camp 5400m along rough way with jerking &
bouncing through grassy plain leading up to Everest
BC which is also called Chinese base camp.
We set up our camp at Chinese Base Camp and stay two
nights or more, depending on how everyone feels. We
also make schedules of the yaks by that time. Base camp
is a temporary but comfortable affair with Nepali cook
and dining tent. Now the two-day walk towards Advanced
Base Camp (ABC) begins.
After waking 2 days, we reach to ABC 6400m along with
the Yaks. From ABC the route goes to the east Rongbuk
glacier and after that there is an easy snow slopes
to the North Col at 7000m.
