Mt. Everest, the highest mountain peak in the world lies on the border between Nepal and Tibet. Everest has two Base Camps, the northern base camp located at Nepal while the southern at Tibet.
During your Everest Base Camp trek from Tibet, you will stand at 5200 meters on the southern base of Mt. Everest. This trek gives you a clear and sweeping view of Mt. Everest from the Tibetan side.
