Mount Everest
When you travel from Lhasa to Nepal and you take the "Friendship Highway", don't forget to look out of the window in the Tingri West area. Left hand side. Because you can see Chomolangma, otherwise known as Mount Everest. It doesn't look very impressive, yes it's that tiny dark pyramid shaped mountain almost in the middle of the picture. But hey, it's still the highest mountain on Earth. The distance from the highway is probably 60-70 km and in the valley facing Chomolangma lies the famous Rongbuk Monastery.
