The Quest For Everest: Ep 1 - China: Beijing & Tibet

We begin our three-week journey in Beijing, exploring the city, the Great Wall of China, and the Forbidden City before boarding a two-day train to Lhasa. We travel across Tibet, visit monasteries, and gradually gain altitude on our way toward Mount Everest Base Camp. When Chris suffers severe altitude sickness, we take him to hospital and face the possibility of abandoning the Everest portion of the trip.
