Mount Everest from the perspective of North Base Camp in Tibet
There are two base camps on Mount Everest, on opposite sides of the mountains: South Base Camp is in Nepal at an altitude of 5,364 metres (17,598 ft) (28°0′26″N86°51′34″E / 28.00722°N 86.85944°E / 28.00722; 86.85944), while North Base Camp is in Tibet at 5,150 metres (16,900 ft) (28°8′29″N86°51′5″E / 28.14139°N 86.85139°E / 28.14139; 86.85139 (North Base Camp)).[1][2][3]
The base camps are rudimentary campsites at the base of Mount Everest that are used by mountain climbers during their ascent and descent. They are also visited by hikers. South Base Camp is used when climbing via the southeast ridge, while North Base Camp is used when climbing via the northeast ridge.[4]
Supplies are shipped to the South Base Camp by porters, and with the help of animals, usually yaks. The North Base Camp is accessed by a paved road that branches from China National Highway 318. Climbers typically rest at base camp for several days for acclimatization, to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
