If the thought of impending death and lugging around crampons bothers you, you can still get to Everest Base Camp without the aid of Sherpas and a rope. The Friendship Highway links the Tibetan capital of Lhasa with the camp at Rongbuk. Along the four-day journey, you’ll climb out of the plateau surrounding the capital through tiny villages, monasteries, turquoise lakes and giant peaks before finishing up staring at the north face of Mount Everest.
The Facts: You’ll have the chance to see five of the world’s highest peaks: Everest, Shishapangma,
Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu.
