Himalaya east of Everest, from the Ruined Stupa half an hour or so after Bhulbhule
Tuesday 19 April 2016
Bhulbhule (3365m) - PK Dairy (3640m) - Pikey Peak II & Pilates Planks (4065m) - Jase Bhanjyang (3550m).
Wonderful blue skies and multiple mountain views as we headed north towards PK Dairy and then up PK / Pikey Peak, where Steffi set the pace with Pilates planks before the descent to Jase Bhanjyang, which would later be bathed in beautiful evening light as the sun set.
PK Dairy and Jase Bhanjyang both provided opportunities to gather information about local families who might need one of Light Education Development (LED)'s solar lights, and to do some distribution and repairs.
But the mountain views won the day.
From our first stop, just outside Bhulbhule, looking east we could see: Shishapangma - Dorje Lhakpa - Chang - Ramdung - Bigphera Go Shar - Numbur - Khatang - Karyolung - Everest - Lhotse - Nuptse - Baruntse - Pethangtse - Thamserku - Kangtega - Drangnag Ri [?] (Peak 49) - Makalu - Chamlang - Mera - Naulekh - Kanchenjunga.
From PK Dairy and the mani wall down at the pass before it more mountains stretched to the west: Gaurishankar - Shishapangma - Langtang Lirung - Paldor (Ganesh Himal) - Sringi Himal - Boudha Himal - Peak 29 (Ngadi Chuli) - Manaslu / Mansiri Himal - Annapurna
