Highlights: Mount Everest in the morning, Stunning landscape.
We it turns out trying to sleep above 5,000 metres is no easy task. During the night I consistently woke up requiring water as the air is so dry at this altitude. When the electric blanket kicked in at 1 am I eventually removed my jeans but otherwise slept with the some layers from yesterday.

Highlights: Yamdrok Tso Lake, Tibetan Mountains
Today was a nine hour private bus ride between Lhasa to Gyantse, a small part of my thought this was just a positioning day but boy was I wrong! I got to experience some of the greatest sights that nature has too offer.
