Sunrise over Everest - magnificent

by sarahtomlinson

This really is an occasion that will bring a lump to your throat. We travelled to Nargakot(forgive the spelling?) in Nepal and stayed in a hotel built into the mountainside, overlooking a valley from which, on the opposite side, rose the mountains including Everest. When the sun rose at approximately 5am the hotel staff would bring around hot drinks and guests would sit out on their balconies watching the red glow of the morning sun soak across Everest and its neighbouring peaks. If there are certain things to do in your lifetime, trust me, this is one of them

golden temple

by eelaine

greeted by a simple entrance of this buddhist monastry, we never imagined the greatness of what the small courtyard of the golden temple holds.. with its golden two-tiered roof gleaming in the sun.. surrounded by very interesting images.. long chains of gold plates hanging from the top of the temple.. just amazing..btw, we have two versions on the story of what the long chains of gold plates is for.. one says that these were put there by the rich to act as their stairway to heaven.. the other story says that it's meant to be the stairways to invite the gods from heaven down to earth.. i'm not too sure which is the right one.. u decide and tell me.. :)
