Can I go to Everest Base Camp in winter?

Everest Base Camp, as its name implies, is a protected area specially set up to protect the environment in the core area of Mount Everest, and it is also a camp to provide supplies and rest for extreme enthusiasts who dare to climb Mount Everest. The Everest Base Camp is located at an altitude of about 5,200 meters in the Himalayas, and the linear distance from the summit of Mount Everest is only 19 kilometers.

There are tents for climbers and tourists, as well as hotels, cafes, shops and even post offices; There are solar panels in front of the door to provide night lighting. After resting in the base camp, climbers can continue their journey to Mount Everest. Everest Base Camp is located in the south of Rongbu Temple, surrounded by a group of tent hotels, with a national flag and a flag of Everest Reserve in the middle.

Everest base camp mainly provides accommodation for tourists, with toilets and tent post offices. It is the highest post office in China. This 5200-meter-high monument is located 4 kilometers south of Everest base camp, and it needs to be reached by eco-car or on foot.

Before arriving at the monument, armed police guarded it and gave some warnings to tourists. There are no permanent buildings in the base camp except two public toilets representing modern civilization. From the beginning of April to the end of May every year, it is the best time to climb Mount Everest. Therefore, during this period, mountaineers from all over the world were stationed at the base camp. Many outdoor tents of world-famous brands are scattered in colorful on the empty base camp, which is more spectacular.

Suggested playing time: 4 days

A passer-by said that there is no place to wash and dress at Everest Base Camp, but there is a simple toilet. Be careful of the fixed wires outside the toilet, especially at night. As for tents, different numbers of tents have different prices. We live in tent No.60, 18 (which is close to Mount Everest), just like our friends who came and went later lived in 80 and 36, and the living environment was average. After arriving at Everest base camp, my high reaction was the most serious. I have a headache, my mouth is purple and my nails are purple. I lay in the tent and had a rest. I can't even swallow instant noodles. After a few distracting words with friends, the whole person felt much better and fell asleep soon. When I got up the next day, I didn't feel a headache at all and I was in a super good mood. But some friends in the same trade can't sleep when they wake up in the middle of the night, and some have headaches when they wake up in the morning.

A passerby said it was worth going. After arriving at the base camp, according to the weather conditions, you can take an eco-car to climb the Everest observation deck, which is where the famous stone tablet is located. The weather at high altitude is changeable. Maybe it's just raining cats and dogs. Don't lose heart and wait patiently. Tents are all built by local Tibetans for tourists to spend the night. At altitudes above 5000, some people will bring oxygen bottles, but I don't think it is necessary, because if there is a real problem, then some oxygen is simply not enough, and oxygen inhalation will produce dependence, so it is best not to inhale casually. Generally, chartered passengers come from Lhasa. If they travel for three days, they will spend one night in the base camp. If they travel for two days, they will go to the Everest Observation Deck and return to Shigatse. It is strongly recommended to spend the night here. You will probably never see the beautiful starry sky again in your life. In addition, there is no need to buy sleeping bags and military coats. There are many quilts in the tent. It's cold, just cover it. Of course, if you are neat, you can bring your own sleeping bag.
