Overview
Eight days of the Mount Everest journey is a magnificent expedition of self - challenge and natural exploration. From the moment you set foot on this mysterious land, you start a conversation with the snow - capped mountains. Along the way, you will traverse the vast plateau, encounter lakes as clear as mirrors, and feel the vastness and grandeur of heaven and earth. When you finally stand at the foot of Mount Everest, looking up at the peak that pierces the clouds, under the reflection of the white snow, what surges in your heart is awe and shock towards nature. Every step forward is a step closer to your dream; every day's experience will become an indelible memory in your life.
