Everest's quieter side. Rongbuk to Base Camp by convoy. High, dry and seriously dramatic.

2.3 Kosciuszkos
A cross-border trip from Kathmandu over the Friendship Highway, or via Chengdu, to Everest's north face. Rongbuk is the highest monastery on Earth. That pyramid from the plateau is the one Mallory looked at. Bring layers. The wind is not decorative.
