The scenery was stunning; we were lucky with the weather and managed to capture the golden sunrise over the mountains and the Milky Way. However, aside from taking photos, the long drive was exhausting, so be aware of altitude sickness and the need for wind protection and warmth. Other services were limited, and there wasn't much to do, making it less convenient. Overall, it's worth a visit!

This time, I booked a small group tour of 8 people from Shigatse to the Mount Everest base camp, and the overall experience was excellent. The driver drove very steadily, and the schedule was reasonable. He reminded everyone along the way to be aware of altitude sickness, dress warmly, and prioritize safety, and was patient and helpful when needed. Although Mount Everest was constantly shrouded in clouds due to weather conditions, preventing us from seeing the entire peak, which was a bit of a disappointment, natural weather is uncontrollable, and the itinerary itself was fine. The vehicle was clean, and with a small group, it wasn't too crowded. The high-altitude valleys, mountain passes, and Everest Base Camp along the way were all very unique, and the driver was responsible, without rushing us or forcing us to spend money. Overall, the service exceeded my expectations, making it a safe and smooth trip to Mount Everest, and I highly recommend it.

Driver Danba Dunzhu is extremely responsible, especially punctual, and has excellent driving skills. He carefully reminds drivers of all safety precautions every time the car is restarted. He is the best driver I've encountered so far in my trip to Tibet.

西藏对我好像从来是遥不可及的,哪怕一个人走了大半个中国,脑海里无数次想过西藏,但终究没有一个人踏足那里的勇气,可能是因为气候 可能是因为海拔,亦或是曾经读过的很多关于那里的作品带来的神秘、圣洁的滤镜,总怕自己乱七八糟的心境去玷污了心中那块干净、充满信仰的土地。但是终究敌不过向往,对雪山的向往,对无数干净的高山湖泊的向往,对栖息在那片土地无数自由生灵的向往,选了一个不算旺季的10月中旬,踏足了那块旷野。海拔不断升高,3000 4000 5000,还好高反似乎宽恕了我,我的身体一切正常,没有出现任何不适,我将这当做了这片土地对我最盛大的欢迎和接纳。阳光下的布达拉宫,白墙折射着太阳的金光,洒在周围每一个信众的身上,空气里氤氲着焚香的气息,这里确实是一个不缺信仰的地方。在加吾拉山口,顶着海拔5245米的大风,我挂上了写着我美好心愿的经幡。纵使没有信仰的人,到了这里也难免心生崇敬,想要渴求一些简单朴实的愿望。那会逐渐消失于世的卡若拉冰川,我庆幸我记住了它的模样。

This is a sacred mountain that the Chinese people yearn for very much, and it is also a sacred place in the hearts of the Tibetan people. Being able to drive close to it is already an incredible miracle in life, and many people will envy it. It is so difficult to see it up close, it is the limit of the body.
