      • Since the Everest Base Camp is located at a high altitude of 5,200 meters, in order to protect the health of tourists and prevent altitude sickness, we will go to Dingri County for accommodation after visiting the Mt. Everest.

      When entering Tibet from Kathmandu, China visa needs to be processed in Kathmandu. Please do not apply in your home country in advance. If tourists previously had a long-term valid Chinese visa, it will be replaced with a 30-day valid group tourist visa when applying in Kathmandu.
