everest which camp Nepal or Tibet?

I%26#39;ve visited the Khumbu region of Nepal, to Base Camp, several times. I haven%26#39;t been from the Tibetan side, though I%26#39;ve thought about it. Reading about it the following thoughts struck me:

1. The %26#39;normal%26#39; approach to the Tibetan side is to drive in 3 - 4 days to Base Camp at 5200 metres, and then to trek along the Rongbuk glacier towards Everest. 5200 is quite high ! On the Nepal side you%26#39;d spend only a couple of days at that sort of height, and consequently the risk of altitude sickness is less on the Nepal side.

2. On the Nepalese side the trek from Lukhla to Gorak Shep, Kala Pattar and EBC takes you from 2900 metres, through a variety of inspiring landscapes (forests, deep valleys, magical mountains, then high, austere high-altitude) and interesting settlements, so that you can acclimatise more slowly, and interact with the local population.

3. Visually Everest dominates from the north far more than it does when approached from Nepal Whilst you will therefore get a good view of the north side of the mountain it will be the same view, but only a little closer-up, as you go along the Rongbuk glacier. On the Nepal side you will not really see the summit of Everest other than as a small triangle peeping over the incredible wall of Nuptse and Lhotse until you get to Gorak Shep. Instead you will have a constantly-changing landscape to walk through. Once at Gorak Shep the views of Everest from Kala Pattar, are incredible.

4. It%26#39;s cheaper to go on the Nepal side (and I suspect it%26#39;s less regimented)

5. Nepal has not been annexed by a foreign power (unlike Tibet)

6. The Tibetan side may be drier in June as the monsoon rains tend to come in from the south

It%26#39;s your choice - I can only comment that having weighed it up in the past I chose to return to the Nepal side as I found the area, and the people, absolutely fascinating
