It may seem hard to believe but you can actually take a comfortable bus ride to the base of Mount Everest. This has been possible for some years on the China side of the mountain, via Tibet.
For real mountain climbers, who would usually take about a week to reach the base camp on the other side through Nepal, the idea of taking a bus up seems repulsive.
