in search of Sagarmatha - lost in the mist

every search has a starting point. for Everest, i started at the foothills of Lukla.

it was an overcast day when we flew in from Kathmandu, and the DHC-6 twin otter i was in barely rose above the clouds during the flight.

shrouded in all this mist, it was difficult indeed in locating my final destination. "not too good", i thought as we buzzed through all the grey and white, "is Everest a real geographical manifestation or just a figment of one's imagination?" perhaps, perhaps.

but wait.

amongst all the fluff i could make out some jagged edges. could that be it?
