Went on a most amazing flight seeing tour this morning to see this 29,000 foot peak via Yeti Airlines. Plane load of Chinese tourists, one lone Japanese man who is taking a year to travel around the world and reported he was feeling "very lonely." Two Philadelphians and us. We all oohed and aahed and snapped many a photo. No clouds, and very little snow, considering how high up the terrain is and how deep into winter we supposedly are. Regardless of these factors, quite a wonder.

Incredible photos so far, Cynkie. Am following this blog with fascination - keep up the great work! So glad you arrived without incident - was worried for a few hours. Thanks for your call. Looks like a great trip thus far. Hope you are enthralled. :-)
