Czech Himalaya 8000 Shishapangma expedition leave tomorrow Sept. 8th at 6 a.m. morning from Kathmandu to Tibetan Nepalese border Kodari and then to first Tibetan village called Zhangmu.

After two days in Kathmandu we have prepared all necessary documents, visa and permits with cooperation of Nepal Trans Himalayan Explorer managing by Pasang Dawa Sherpa. Our team joined also my close friend sirdar Lhakpa Dorjee Sherpa and cook Dilkum.

Tomorrow evening we expect to arrive to Zhangmu. Next morning we load all of baggage and join Chinese liaison officer and then we will move to Nyalam village which is on 3.900 meters. We stay there about two days for acclimatization and then we will move to Base Camp of Shishapangma [called Chinese Base Camp] which is at about 4.900m. After acclimatization we will load all of the luggage to Yaks and we will move to 5.500 meters which is a real Base camp of Shishapangma.
