Mount Everest in Tibet

The far western edge of China is a remote and wild place. Populated by few, this mountainous and harsh landscape is also one of extreme beauty. This is one of the main draws to the many tourists that brave the altitude sickness to visit the ancient kingdom in the clouds. Tibet contains much of the mountains of the Himalayas. The highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest (photo above) is on the border between China and Nepal. Tourists can travel from Lhasa to the base camp of Everest where they can get a rarely seen and unique view of the mountain.
