porto - Mar, 16 2009 03:03pm Breathtaking Isabelle!I love this one. jacko1 - Mar, 16 2009 09:03pm Very scenic Isabelle, when Hillary and Tensing first climbed Everest in 1953 I doubt they had this road as an aid!. aufgehts - Mar, 17 2009 12:03pm Isabelle, what were you thinking when you saw this? Or did you just feel pure emotion? frenchfrog - Mar, 18 2009 07:03am Yest, it was very strange as from the Nepalese side you have to trek for 2 weeks to get there, from the Chinese side the road stops only about 8Km from the foot of Mt Everest. Everest looks much nicer from the Chinese side than the Nepalese side! (see my other photos of Nepal). It was very weird to to think that you are staring at the roof of the world! I did not want to leave I could have stay there for days just looking at this magnificient senery at this beauty!
