KATHMANDU - ZANGMU:
Leaving smartly, we take a private bus along the Friendship Highway to Kodari where we pass through Nepalese customs then cross the Friendship Bridge and climb to Zhangmu, the Chinese border town. The hotel is a curious throwback to the communist era, and the food distinctly ordinary.

ZANGMU - TINGRI:
A spectacular day as we cross the main Himalayan range, driving over the 5150m Lalung La eventually to the plain that Tingri sits on. Arriving in Tingri we get our first views of massive Shishapangma across the grassy plains. Be EXTREMELY careful of the Tingri dogs, always carry a rock in your hand and it is better to be in a group of people.

ACCLIMATIZATION:
If you feel good then you can climb the hill to the west of the town, but stop at a sensible point, beyond each top is another

TINGRI - BASE CAMP:
Base Camp is around an hours drive and after establishing our camp we can relax and enjoy the views. The camp is pleasantly situated on grassy patch alongside the river but is often windy.
Day

ACCLIMATIZATION:
We spend 3 days acclimatizing and preparing our equipment for the yaks to carry to Advance Base Camp. All our equipment is transported in blue plastic drums or kit bags and it is usual to have in the region of 50 yaks to transport all our supplies and equipment.

We are prepared load to yak and it is another tough day’s walk, made tougher by the altitude. We trek beyond the grass line into the rough and rocky moraine area, with a jumble of mountain, rock and ice surrounding us.
