Mount Everest and Cho Oyu from Tingri in Tibet

The north face of Mount Everest as seen from Old-Tingri in Tibet in the evening hours.

As we were hitchhiking from Lhasa to the border between Tibet and Nepal we were not able to easily reach the base camp of Mount Everest since there was hardly any traffic on the route between the “highway” and the direction of base camp. We spent few nights in Tingri before heading on towards Kathmandu.

Below a photo of the Cho Oyu mountain as seen from Tingri. Cho Oyu is a mountain on the border of Tibet and Nepal. It’s peak is 8.188 m.
