Military coats can be rented at Everest Base Camp for 80 yuan each. The advantage is you don't have to bring clothes, the disadvantage is hygiene issues. 📌Motion sickness pills or patches: The 108 turns can really cause motion sickness😵‍💫 📌Border pass Can be processed at the place of residence Lhasa Border Defense Building (requires ID card and no criminal record certificate) Shigatse Government Service Center (only requires ID card) 🗺️Route First go to the Everest Base Camp ticket office (only sells tickets) → After passing the ticket office, you will reach the 108 turns of Everest → Then buy a ticket and take the sightseeing bus to Everest Base Camp at the transfer point. 📸Must-see attractions 📌Sunrise on the Golden Mountain Sunrise is around 7:30 AM, sunset is around 8:30-9:30 PM (time is not fixed, changes with the seasons). Check the weather forecast in advance. 📌108 turns Starting from Shigatse, shortly after entering the gate, you will reach the 108 turns, where you can see five 8000-meter snow-capped mountains at the same time. 📌Everest Monument There are four monuments to check in at. Go when there are fewer people to take photos. 📌Letter from Everest The highest post office in the world is at Everest Base Camp. Large postcards are 5 yuan, small postcards are 3 yuan; sending a letter from the roof of the world is very memorable. 🏨Accommodation 📌Accommodation at Everest Base Camp is not very good, some people may not be able to accept it. There are large shared rooms, small single rooms, and small standard rooms, all separated by wooden boards. Water use is not very convenient, and the toilet is a public restroom outside. 📌For those who don't want to stay in a tent, you can take the last bus at 9:30 PM back to Basong Village to stay in a homestay after watching the sunset. The possibility of altitude sickness is lower. It is recommended to book in advance, as it is easy to find no rooms if you go late. 💃🏻Activities 📌At 11 PM, there will be a disco on the mountain top, where everyone sings and dances together, but be careful not to overdo it, as it can easily cause altitude sickness🤣 📌At around 2 AM, everyone will come out to watch the stars, but it requires luck. If the weather is not good that night, you won't see anything. Usually, people in the same tent will drink, eat snacks, and chat happily. 👀We also share our 5-day itinerary with everyone Day1️⃣Lhasa--Yamdrok Lake--Karola Glacier--Manla Reservoir--Shigatse Day2️⃣Shigatse--Gyatso La Pass--108 turns--Gawu La Pass--Everest Scenic Area Day3️⃣Everest Scenic Area--Everest Castle--Gamba Grassland--Shigatse Day4️⃣Shigatse--Distant view of Jiegangri Fairy--Selin Co--Bango County/Dangxiong Day5️⃣Bango County/Dangxiong--Sansheng Stone--North Shore of Namtso--Lhasa
