 There
is probably no other country in the world that arouses as much
curiosity as this vast expanse of myth and religion known to
the world as Tibet. Steeped deep in religious mysticism and
ancient practices.
In Tibet each mountain has its own story and each story is
the quintessence of fortitude and steadfastness, a quality that
the denizens of the land hold most precious. Share these immortal
moments with the mountains and its people.
Everest in Tibet straddles the east section of the Nepal/Tibet
border, with its northern side lying in the Tingri Country.
Before 1949 all approaches had to be made from Tibet as Nepal
was closed. Once the latter opened its doors that of the former
were shut. It was only in 1980 that Tibet was reopened for expeditions
and with that a whole new world of exciting
opportunities unfolded.
Since the earliest Himalayan expeditions the North Ridge has
represented staggering achievement. It was this side of the
mountain that the pioneering British expeditions of the early
1900's had come. Reinhold Messner had this to say. "......the
north side of Everest was to me one of the most historic and
interesting places of all".
The route is complex and difficult and the summit day long
and tiring but the allure of climbing the Everest from the Tibet
side is always magical.
Base camp is established at Rongbuk glacier at 5180m though
the real climbing starts at camp 1 at an elevation of 7000m.
