The next morning we felt better and, lo and behold, it was sunny - yes the sun does shine in the monsoon months. After driving about 30km from Nyalam, I looked back and saw a beautiful view of the east face of Shishapangma come partly visible. The summits of both Shishapangma and Phola Gangchen are in the clouds. The ridge visible on the right of the photo is to the right of Phola Gangchen.
