Seeing the sun rise over the Himalayas in Nargarkot was spectacular. Got lucky with a clear morning and we were able to see Everest! My guide, Shishir, was super—picked me up promptly from my hotel at 4:00AM and our driver got us there in plenty of time to climb the Lookout Tower just before the first rays started to appear. Shishir is easy going and answered all my endless questions. He took a ton of amazing photos, which he shared with me while eating breakfast. The hike through the villages was relaxed, with so many picturesque vistas, passing through Buddha Peace Park and ending at Changu Nayayan—the oldest temple in Nepal, dating back to 464 C.E. A morning not to be missed!
