Tibet: A Picture Story (Part 5)

Day Four in Tibet (off to Mt. Everest!):
the little kids are obscuring the elevation, but it says 5248 m

the stove runs on dried manure (no kidding! Tibetans are very efficient in they're use of resources)
in case you're wondering, it really doesn't smell

buffalo manure drying on the side of the wall

getting to base camp, one hairpin loop at a time for 100 km

the last stretch, by horse-drawn carriage

Views of Mt. Everest:
base camp: 5200 m

China Mobile has service at base camp!!

the view from our room

over the course of the morning:
where'd it go?
