Everest and Kanchandzonga

3:45am, and I'm out of bed again. I didn't sleep particularly well, perhaps because I kept having dreams that I was at the airport with the wrong confirmation number.

I got up so early to go to Tiger Hill, which is a pretty popular place to go and see the sunrise. Its freezing in December at 4:30am. The stars were absolutely beautiful though. More rewarding than the sunrise though were the clear views of Kanchandzonga and Mt. Everest. Everest was a little ways off, but Kanchandzonga was right there, and its pretty cool to now have seen both the 1st and 3rd highest peaks in the world. My camera is not so cool to be equipped to take especially good pictures, but here we go!

Me and Kanchandzonga

Prayer flags and a hazy sunrise

If this were a better picture, and I had skills with drawing arrows on pictures, you'd see that right next to the second dark mountain bump from the left side there's a white smudge...thats Mt. Everest...It was easier to see than to photograph

As evidenced by this pretty bad picture of Mt. Everest. Hey, its in another country.
