Mount Everest is beautiful, but I won't come again next time, take my advice!

Mount Everest is on the itinerary for days 4-5, and the sunrise on the golden mountain is truly beautiful! I didn't get altitude sickness on Mount Everest, but I got carsick on the 108 turns going up to Everest 😅 - Overall, these two days were basically one day going to Everest and one day returning to Shigatse with a few checkpoints on the road, getting off to take some photos, mostly on the road - You really need to wear more in winter! Especially going up to Everest, the wind is so strong and cold! Bring a big down jacket, I forgot to bring mine, and I was really freezing 🥶 Hats! Wear knitted and windproof ones! Otherwise, your head will hurt 😣 - 🏠 About accommodation at Everest We stayed at a guesthouse called Pincuo Redan at the foot of the mountain, which had electric blankets but a rather simple environment~, that night was the first day of the lunar new year, everyone was lively in the living room, even setting off fireworks, it was just a makeshift stay for one night, getting up at 3-4 am to watch the starry sky (truly indescribable shock, can only say it was really beautiful!) Breakfast was dumplings cooked by our driver (it's great to have it during the new year hehe) - 🔵 About oxygen: Remember to bring a portable oxygen bottle to the base camp If you have more severe altitude sickness, I saw they were buying medical oxygen tanks for 500r or 700r 🫨 It really depends on your own physical condition, I didn't use anything, didn't feel much, but people with altitude sickness will feel headache, lack of oxygen, and discomfort, in which case portable oxygen may not be very effective (it depends on your own body condition, if you feel uncomfortable and still need to stay at high altitudes, it can indeed be a bit difficult 😅 so I suggest you still buy it, after all, health is the most important!) - 🔵 Other 1️⃣ If you get carsick, remember to bring motion sickness medicine! There are 108 turns on the way to the base camp, don't eat too much, don't eat too much! It can really make you dizzy... 2️⃣ Bring some snacks and something to stave off hunger, including at Everest where there's not much to buy, and the journey down the mountain is also long! Otherwise, you'll get really hungry 3️⃣ Bring hand warmers to stick on your phone
