Glimpse of Mt. Everest – Remained Just a Dream

Back in Jomsom, we celebrated the completion of our mission of reaching Muktinath by having a big feast. (As we had spent an extra day in Tatopani, we did not have time to trek up to Torong La.) While the men were having a good time downstairs, the ladies had their own party upstairs in the hotel.

From Jomsom, we flew to Porkhara. In Pokhara, we went for a shopping spree before taking a bus back to Kathmandu the next morning.

While in Kathmandu, we went to Nagarkot, the most popular mountain-viewing spot and about 32km away, to catch the sunrise and to view Mt. Everest. The sunrise was not as spectacular as the one we saw in Poon Hill. Our hope of catching a glimpse of Mt. Everest was also dashed as it was shrouded in cloud. We left the place rather dejected. Nevertheless, we took some photos for our albums.
