In a lifetime, who would have ever expected to see Mt. Everest close up and real. From Kathmandu on Buddha Air. About 30 minutes later, there it was. Spectacular. First view was from the plane's cockpit, as each of the 16 passengers was escorted forward to lean over the pilots' shoulders and soak in that view.
The plane flew east, to pass the mountain so that the port side passengers had a view from their seats, then 180o turn and the starboard passengers had their seat view. Cameras snapping shots all the time.

Soooooo cool. I don't think I'd be able to sit in my seat. What a great adventure you had! ❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful. Christy and Nancy loved seeing Everest eyeball to peak. Plane was only about 5 miles away!
