Wake up early to enjoy the marvelous sunrise on the peak of the world. Then drive about 4km further to Tibetan Tents Camp (altitude: 4900m), where you can enjoy a closer view of Mount Everest.
The top part of Mount Everest is always covered by snow all year round, and when the sun shines on the mountain, the peak is like a giant white pyramid, which is one of the most famous scenes of Mount Everest. In bright days, you can also see a wisp of cloud hanging above the top of Mount Everest. It flies eastward in the fast western wind just like a flapping flag.
This unique phenomenon is the spectacular “Cloud Flag”. The cloud will change from surging waves into a thin cooking smoke or from galloping steeds into the mysterious veil of a goddess.
Till now, your Mount Everest adventure is about to end. The rest of today is to drive to Gyirong Town. The views along the road are stupendous. On clear days, you can see the clear face of Shishapangma Peak and enjoy the beautiful view of Pekutso Lake.

Today, you will leave the territory of Tibet. Drive about 25km to the Gyirong Port, where you will walk across the customs to Nepal territory and transfer to Kathmandu. Though the distance is only about 160km, it takes more than 6 hours to drive to Kathmandu from Gyirong Port because the road is narrow and bumpy. During the rainy season, the road is muddy and may be closed due the landslides.
