Coxue Renma is 4,950 meters above sea level. It is the highest camp in the Gama Valley itinerary on the east slope of Mount Everest and is also the climax of the entire itinerary.
Here you can not only see the snow-capped mountains such as Mount Everest, Mount Lhotse, Makalu, Qomolangma and Tola Gangpoche, but also see the huge glaciers winding by at the Dacuo Xuerenma viewing platform.
The most important thing is to see the best view of the reflection of the Golden Mountain in the sun at Cuoxuerenma.
