Hostel of Tibet?


Sing La (4780m)


Again a puncture... curious Tibetans watching closely my work


Thunderstorm approaching fast


 


On the shortcut to the Friendship Highway


7000m peak on the Nepalese border

Heavy monsoon clouds get pushed towards the mountain range



Lonely giant - Shishapangma (8013m)


 


Last kilometers in the wild of Western Tibet

The Friendship Highway appears at the horizon



Perfect road - Friendship Highway to Tingri


The monsoon has definitely arrived - hours of rain... daily


Pang La (5200m) - camping at the top!


No view on the four 8000m peaks - Makalu, Lhotse, Everest, Cho Oyu


 


Arrival at the Everest Base Camp(5160m)

Nothing to see of the giant



Still waiting for a better view


Finally! On the second day, the clouds get torn away and...


The Rongbuk valley dives into a magic light during sunset - prayer flags at Base camp
