Everest Base Camp, Base camp at 5150 meters in Tingri County, China.
The northern base camp features a collection of tents and facilities spread across a rocky terrain beneath the north face of Mount Everest.
The northern route through Tibet became a significant climbing path after China opened this region to foreign mountaineers in 1980.
Tibetan prayer flags mark paths around the base camp, connecting mountaineering traditions with local Buddhist practices and mountain reverence.
Access to the base camp requires both a Tibet Travel Permit and Chinese visa, with the best visiting months being April through June and September through October.
The base camp connects to Rongbuk Monastery at 4,980 meters, marking it as the highest permanent religious structure in the world.
