We spent the night in Shigatse on the 9th and the morning of the 10th we explored the town while our guide and driver went to get our Everett Base Camp permits. Exploring Shigatse consisted of looking for a post office and ATM. We decided to skip the Tashilumo Monastery and opted to observe the locals nearby.
We then set off for Syaka Monastery. We stopped at a few places along the way (so we would arrive at the check points at the right time).
At the next check point, we agreed to give "grandma" a ride to town. This meant 4 people were squeezed in the back seat while grandma sat in the fold down seat in the trunk area where all our bags were (this is where our guide, Tashi, usually sat).
We then headed towards Tingri - one night in this town before heading to Everett Base Camp.
The guys had some groupies following them |
Of course we couldn't pass up posing with some statues |
