Tuesday, 3 March We were all up at 6AM and watch the sunrise on the still hazy but more visible peaks of “The Far Pavillions.” We worked out from the sketchy details in the Lonely Planet Nepal Guide which of the peaks was Everest and even though the view was hazy and distorted it was satisfying to sit looking at such a range of ice giants.

We caught the 9:30 AM local bus back down to Barkatpur, sitting up on the roof all the way for a better view. Back in K’mandu we retired to our hotel and did nothing.
