On this day we embarked on our journey from Shigatse to Everest, though we will stay at Shegar (4,350m) for the night. The journey took us through pristine countryside and unparalleled sceneries that are stunning. We also pass through Gyatso La, at 5,250m the highest point of our whole trip.
Though it is only around 150km from Shigatse to Shegar, the journey took nearly a day, as the road shortly after Shigatse are undergoing reconstruction, so on some stretches the vehicles are just travelling through mud. Perhaps the road has been completed and the journey will be much shorter for those who go by this way nowadays.
Some of the photos here are among the best I have ever taken.
