It was an early start for Connor, Stuart and I as we got up at 4:15am to see the sunrise on Poon Hill. Rob was feeling better, but not up for an early morning climb and he needed to stay with Madeline. So the rest of us bundled up in our limited warm clothes, flashlights, and walking sticks and met our guides Rajan and Ramess outside.
We sat down and were again served hot tea. It was extremely cold and we were appreciative of being able to at least warm up our hands.
We had a panoramic view of the Himalayas, including Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m) , Annapurna South(7219m) and a mountain called Machhapuchhre or “Fish Tail.”
Once the sun had come up, we headed back down to our tea house for breakfast.
