Tingri - Rongbu Temple - Base Camp Mt. Everest

The Rongbu Temple at the foot of Mount Everest is the world highest temple; it is only 40 kilometers to the peak and serves as the headquarters of north side climbing because the base camp is only eight kilometers away. The north side of Qomolangma (Tibetan name for Mt. Everest) has 217 glaciers, and the Rongbu glacier is the biggest. After lunch, we will hike to the base camp and spend the night camping in the mountains.
