Services of BC 1



Some of these tents are teahouses/places to sleep, some of them are stores of different kinds, and one is even an official post office. Climbers often get waylayed here, waiting for weather or permit dates, so there is a small community of Tibetans living here to cater to their needs. Basic supplies, food, hot tea, warm tent, hard wooden bench with yak wool and carpeting to sleep on, etc.. Here a lovely shopkeep shows Fish her selection of turqoise encrusted novelties.
