That day was probably the most stressful day in my whole Tibet tour. The million dollar question was - will we be able to see Mount Everest. We have spent one day travelling here, and will spent another day travelling back. Though the journey itself was great, it would have been a big disappointment if we are not able to see Everest.
So far during our stay in Tibet it has always been cloudy. In the early morning when the sky is still dark, the sky is clear and we can see a lot of stars. But the weather changed suddenly and clouds started to creep in. When we are at Pang La, where one is suppose to be able to see 4 out of the 10 highest mountains in the World (Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu and Makalu), all the high mountains are covered by clouds. So you can imagine the exhilaration when we got the first glimpse of Everest. Unfortunately we only saw Everest for about two hours and when we reached the Everest base camp, it was completed covered by clouds. But that probably make our trip even more memorable.
