We got up at 3:30am to take a jeep ride to this place called Tiger Hill that is great for seeing the sunrise- with a view of the Himalayan Mountains.
glorious
Oh my gosh it was sooo embarassing- all these people kept asking to get pictures with us... whyyyy... I'm not sure? I guess because we are white and they hardly ever see white people (which is just a fact of life traveling here- you're gonna get stared at) All it took was 1 person around us to ask for a picture with us... and then everyone exploded and was like "miss! Miss! I want photo too! Can we take your picture?!" It strait up turned into Paparazzi. It was so bad and we were getting so ambushed we had to say "SORRY NO MORE PHOTOS" and we pushed our way thru the crowd fast and moved to a completely different area. We all agreed we would NEVER want to be famous! so bizzare.
yay
The sun was hitting the peaks... you could literally hear the people gasping and awe'ing. There were hundreds of people on the hill that morning. We saw Mt Everest! It's not the highest looking peak in the pic- bc it is actually further away and sort of behind these mountains-it was more of a triangle in the distance- a guy next to us helped us see it. I beleive I read a fortune cookie before coming here that said "soon you will be on top of the world" Pretty close! haha
Reminds me of watching the sunrise on the top of the Haleakala crater in Hawaii...because there was a thick layer of clouds like this
