Kathmandu Taxi Ride
The craziness of Kathmandu seems all that much more visible through a cab ride. After spending a couple of weeks in Tibet, the food here was a great change. Kathmandu Taxi Ride 12.5 megs Quicktime 2:21 min.

Sunset on Everest
Everest is often clouded over, so being able to see this mountain on a beautiful clear sunset evening was probably one of my greatest travel moments. To put things in perspective, basecamp is at 5200 metres above sea level (over 17,000 feet) which means that when you are standing there looking at the mountain you are at a higher altitude than almost every peak in the Rocky Moutains. This is probably as fitting an ending as any for this series of 36 videos on my trip to Tibet. Hope you enjoyed following me along. Next stop... Sunset On Everest 6.9 megs Quicktime 1:19 min.

The Yak Train Arrives
It seemed quite fitting to see a Yak Train arrive at Everest which marked the major literal and figurative highpoint for our journey. With no light polution and less atmoshpere to look through, at night the stars were the best I have ever seen. Yak Train Arrives 7.1 megs Quicktime 1:21 min. Second last Tibet post...where will we go next?

Rongbuk Guesthouse
Unless you are tenting it, there is only one place to stay at Everest Base Camp. The Rongbuk Monestary Guesthouse. Certainlly not one of the nicest guesthouses around, but it does have one thing that no other guesthouses in the World has and it is well worth any discomfort. Almost done the trip now, this is the thrid last video in the Tibet series. Ronbuk Guesthouse 6.1 megs Quicktime 1:08 min.
