The Dream to Go to the Everest

The Dream to Go to the Everest


This is a fast tour. In better circumstances less expense, fewer Chinese government restrictions, and I only buy the reyes jersey which can keep warm for me.


This itinerary could be stretched into two weeks or more.  However, that’s what it is: an itinerary.  that means being shepherded from sight to sight, ticket booth to ticket booth,those shepherded may never see the johan santana jersey, paying special tourist prices to see monuments, and traveling a well-worn path during which we saw the same people over and over again. For in the spare place, less person can in the santana jersey, Not to say it detracted from the magnificence of what we were seeing, but I couldn’t help feeling that Tibet is being commodified, prettied up, and selected portions with the same commercialize which is show on the david wright jersey, and we can got the same one there.


But I digress. The Big Event was coming up. Mount Everest, would challenge our altitude tolerance still further, as Everest Base Camp would be at 5,200 meters. By comparison, Lhasa had been 3,700 meters. Showed by the stylistics that we can see that wright jersey can also be needed.


The day, as usual, was cloudy, with spotty sunlight as we drove through earth-brown,. At length we arrived at a mountain pass bedecked with prayer flags, and a huge sign announcing that we were entering the amazing world.


Then, in the distance, there they were: the snowy peaks of the highest mountain range in the world, raised to the heavens millions of years ago. Behind the rushing wind were the sounds of camera shutters and the hawking of the trinket sellers.


I didn’t know quite what to do – stare in open-mouthed awe, get on my knees, go into quiet contemplation, snap photos, or, as a jaded tourist confronted with another major sight, simply say OK, there it is. Actually, there is not much you can do expect the ike davis jersey


After descending from the height, the mountains disappeared. We passed through farm and grazing land, temples and ruins on hills, and eventually arrived at the checkpoint for Everest Base Camp. Our passports, travel permits, and entrance tickets were scrutinized. Even the davis jersey Which I took away all the way, Each of us had paid about 360 RMB, including individual entrance tickets, the charge for the vehicle, and the entry for our tour guide and driver. Our guide asked us if we knew the different names for the mountain. Of course, we can recognize the Everest but he added that the mountain is also called “The Bank of China,” because of the high entrance fees.  If you want to scale the slopes, you must pay $12,000.
