- Mt Everest : Holy Mountain Chomolungma, Day11
(Mt Everest, the sacred mountain of Chomolungma to the Sherpas, came into full daylight view on our very last day on the EBC trek. After our prayers at the Tengboche Monastery, the clouds opened up this highest mountain in the world to us, at 8848m high. We stood in awe, just admiring how mighty this view was. Mt Everest also showed us its unique side when it glowed in the middle of the night before, at 9pm - presumably from the moonlight being reflected off its white snowy sides. It was almost like a Xmas tree at night. This "greatest natural wonder of the world", according to David Attenborough, took our breath way on both occasions! This really was the icing on our Everest-trek cake)
