Mount Everest Flight

Ok, so we didn't climb the highest mountain in the world, but we did see it! After walking in the mountains for 3 weeks we decided to take the easy way to see Everest. We did an early morning flight from Kathmandu. The plane only sat 14 people, however everyone got a window seat. I would have to say the views on the hike were superior to the plane, but it still was amazing seeing the worlds highest mountain. We were flying at 26000 feet, and Everest is 29000 feet. On the hike we got up to about 16500 feet to put it in perspective. In the picure, Everest is the triangular mountain in the background. (the camera through the window isn't doing the view justice). Who knows, maybe we will come back some day and attempt it.................kidding.
