Everest North col is one of the challenging trips in Himalaya. It is not for technical, but this is high altitude. Trip start from Himalaya kingdom of Nepal Rich about Buddhist and Hinduism history and culture. Flights to Lhasa over Himalayan's views include Mt.Everest and more..then reached Lhasa Buddhist history and culture.Sightseeing in Lhasa drive to Namtso Lake which is highest salt lake in the world 4720m, back to Lhasa drive to shigatse, shegar, Ronbuk and Everest Base camp.
from Base Camp The trail descents over the gravel hills, always staying above the west edge of the ice. Interim camp is a good place to spend a night acclimatizing before trekking to Camp two.
The Rongbuk Glacier is an impressive frozen ocean of ice waves; the views of the glacier and the Himalayan peaks are some of the most dramatic in Tibet. Along the middle moraine of the glacier is the trail that expeditions use to begin their climbs of Everest and this is the trail we are taking. About two hours above the Interim camp the central ridgeline leads in to a confused of ice at the confluence with the Changtse glacier. The ABC for the North Col route up Mount Everest is situated within a group of flattened gravel mounds beside the glacier. The pinnacles, the frightening group of rock palisades that kept the Northeast Ridge unclimbed for so long, are just another 1500 meters up from ABC. Most amazing of all is the ridge extending above the Pinnacles to the southwest: the striated rock summit of Everest. The top of this mountain appears phenomenally close; it is little more than 2400 meters higher than camp 3. This is the closest non-climbers can get to the top of Everest.
