After a long debate with my right knee (that gave out climbing stairs yesterday) and my overall state of exhaustion from travelling this country for the last 60 days or so, combined with the punishment of the recent Annapurna Base Camp trek ... I decided that seeing the Everest region was still a high priority for me. I had come to this country with the intent of seeing Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse and all their friends so what better way than from the air!
You only live once and living with the images of the majestic, towering, white massifs approaching on the horizon is a pretty amazing feeling. For me, this moment had been years in the making. From the first time I saw the mountains in Alberta as a youngster while visiting family friends on my March break to hearing their stories of expeditions to far away places and mountains with names like Ama Dablam, Annapurna and Everest ... it became clear that I needed to see them for myself. Nepal always seemed reachable but I just needed to get on that plane. So here they are in all their glory. The Bucket List now has one less item,
