With only eighteen passengers, everyone had a window seat.
A short run and we were airborne.
As we climbed above the clouds we had our first view of the Himalayan mountains.
In the distance is Tibet.
Every mountain was impressive.
As we got closer to the mountains we could look down and get even more of an appreciation for just how rugged they are.
During the flight each of the passengers were invited into the cockpit.
There I got my first sight of Everest.
8848 meters or 29028 feet high
People hike three days through these mountains just to get to the base camp.
Try crossing your eyes while staring at the pair of pictures below.
The two pictures should merge and you will be rewarded with a 3D view.
The frost on the window makes it a little difficult but it is worth trying.
If you happen to have a pair of red-cyan 3D glasses around use them with this picture.
All too soon we had to turn back toward Kathmandu.
Reaching the top of this mountain looked even more challenging than climbing Everest.
Our last views as we dropped into the clouds.
We could see homes and fields along the ridges in the foothills of the mountains as we descended.
The numbers increased in the valley and nearer the city.
Back to the big city, Kathmandu.
