5th post: TIBET break...: from Kathmandu to Lhasa via Everest Base Camp

Dear Friends,

Such a long time without giving you any news...but that is because I was taking a 2 weeks break in Tibet, with my parents... A road trip from Kathmandu to Lhasa via the" Roof of the World": the Everest Base Camp.

For this post, I would rather let you enjoy the pictures, so the text will be very short...but you will see lots of pictures (the selection was difficult !).

Tibet in few words: warm people, breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural identity, incredible religious faith, beautiful places and monuments, and a huge influence and control of the Chinese government (with both positive and negative impacts)...

Last smiley note: I am very proud of my parents :-) who actually undertook the Everest Base Camp trip perfectly (just little sickness few times ;-)... On the same day we had to drive through 4 high passes above 5000 mts, drive on the unpaved and bumpy road for more than 10 hours (100 km x 2 but not in a 4x4 ;-), and drink 4 liters of water each within the 1st 12 hours to avoid altitude sickness at the base camp at 5200 mts high...hahaha !

I am now back at my orphanage in Kathmandu for 2 more weeks of volunteering (more to come soon...).

Hope you enjoy pictures, cheers, Berangere.
