Everest Base Camp-Longren Mountain-Lhotse Peak-Rimana Snow Mountain-Tingri Wetland-Qilin Gorge-Qomoyongqen Snow Mountain-Kongma Grassland-Shigatse
In the morning, you will experience the magnificent scenery of Mount Everest at the world's highest-altitude Everest Nature Reserve—Everest Base Camp, then set off for Shigatse. Along the way, you will pass the sacred mountain 【Longren Mountain】, where you can closely view the world's fifth-highest peak, Makalu, and the east slope of Everest. Here is a "grand feast of beautiful scenery," with the golden sunrise on three 8,000-meter snow peaks—Everest (8,844m), Lhotse (8,516m, world's fourth), Makalu (8,463m, world's fifth)—as well as Chomolonzo (7,804m), unfolding before your eyes one by one.
Afterward, you will continue forward, passing the world's fourth-highest peak 【Lhotse】, one of China's most beautiful snow mountains 【Rimana Snow Mountain】, and China's largest wetland 【Dingjie Wetland】, then arrive at the Qilin Gorge Scenic Area. 【Qilin Gorge】 is a famous canyon geological landscape located in a long, secluded canyon, recessed hundreds of meters below the surface. The earth forest rises like bamboo shoots, with giant rocks holding up the sky. They stretch out in vast, intricate arrangements or in groups of three or five, like stern, independent guards. At Qilin Gorge, you can personally feel the uncanny workmanship of nature and marvel at the geological wonders of Qilin Gorge—"majestic, strange, perilous, and extraordinary."
After visiting Qilin Gorge, you will continue along Route 219, also known as the China-India-Nepal Border Highway, to Gangba County, the land of sacred water. Here you can gaze at China's most beautiful snow mountain 【Qomoyongqing】. Legend says it is the mother of the surrounding snow mountains, hence called the Mother of Snow Mountains. Then continue forward, and after passing the beautiful Kongma Grassland, arrive at Shigatse in Tsang.
