Tibet III , roundtrip Mount Everest (Jomolangma National Preserve)

A video report of our roundtrip through Tibet.

From monasteries to the pilgrims.
From the beautiful deep blue lakes to the high mountains.
From the nomads to the yaks.

An breathtaking beautiful country with it proud and brave inhabitants that keep the Buddhist values and rich Tibetan culture and traditions alive despite heavy repression.

Part three brings us to Qomolangma National Nature Preserve (QNNP). Qomolangma National Nature Preserve also known as Chomolungma Nature Reserve (QNP) protects 3.381 million
hectares of the central Himalaya in Tibet. "Qomolangma" is the Tibetan name for the worlds highest mountain - Mount Everst. Located on the “Roof of the World,”
The reserve contains four of the worlds six highest mountains: namely Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu.

The family of our guide Pasang lives in a small village in the reserve. We visit them and are allowed to see a glimp of the unique traditional Tibetan houshold living at high altitude.
The winters are long and cold. The household is almost 100% Self-sufficient. A unique experence.
