went through your tips again, especially liked the EBC off the beaten path tip :) Is doing EBC from Tingri as a day trip makes sense or should one ought to stay at/near Rongbuk for better EBC? What is your opinion?

You should learn some history. Try talk to ppl but not learn that from the media. When enjoying the beauty of traveling, it's best not to involve any politics.
