awe-inspiring day. Founded in the 14th century, this monastery was once the
largest in the world. with a population of around 10,000 monks. These days that

view, but as we turn the corner into the Rongbuk Valley it reappears, more
impressive than ever. Overnight at the Guest House.
Day 13 RONGBUK/TINGRI:
