Mount Qomolangma, 8848.86

The biggest challenge of traveling to Tibet is altitude sickness. Today I came to the highest altitude place of this trip, MT.Qomolangma Base Camp, which is 5200 meters above sea level. I really felt the thinness of oxygen and I wanted to sleep all the time. The weather today is really good, you can see the panoramic view of MT.Qomolangma, and there is also a sign of 318 Dingri Station, which is a must-drive route in life, to take pictures. I have heard that many people challenge themselves to climb Mount Everest, but starting from January 2019, Chinese government has banned any unit or individual from climbing Mount Qomolangma. The view from a distance is already very shocking! #summervacation

There’s nothing quite like seeing Mount Qomolangma (aka Mount Everest) up close. Located in #Tibet, #Qomolangma can be viewed by visitors from the base camp area. Base camp is 5,200 meters above sea level, which means you may be prone to altitude sickness. (I sure was). If you’re feeling symptoms of altitude sickness, don’t forget to drink lots of water and use oxygen canisters. If you stay in the base camp tents overnight, make sure to wake up early enough to see sunrise on the “rooftop of the world.” It is truly magnificent and a once in a lifetime sight to behold! #wintergetaway
