Tibet, Xegar, View Of Valley From Top Of Hill, 1995 - Xegar, also known as Tingri, is on the way from Lhasa to Everest's Rongbuk Base Camp. We climbed the hill above Xegar, for the lama said if you could see Everest from there, it was good luck. We were about to head down when the clouds parted and Everest appeared. This photograph shows the valleys and hills below. The monastery that once coveted the ridge up the mountain was destroyed by invading forces.
