Shishapangma Base Camp
From Shingdip we take a cross-country route west towards
the Base Camp. We reach the base camp by a little
glacial lake after a two-hour walk. Shisapanga is out of
view from base camp, so we head towards the high base
camp. There are magnificent views of Shisapanga on a
boulder-plateau above base camp.

A traveler should bear with him a passport with validity
remaining no less than six months. Make sure that it has

to Beijing to get new one.
