Manaslu 00 01 Manaslu From Flight To Kathmandu [1 of 16]
I watched in anticipation as the glow of the pre-dawn sun illuminated the silhouette of the Himalayan Mountains as my flight approached Kathmandu. The pilot announced that we would have to circle around Kathmandu because of low cloud cover. We had a beautiful early morning view of the sunny east face of Manaslu leading down to Ngadi Chuli (7871m, also known as Peak 29) and to the right Himal Chuli (7893m).
