Mountain Views – Tiger Hill.
We set the alarm for 3.45 am , at 4.30 walked down the hill to the jeeps and caught a jeep with 8 others, and hundreds of other jeeps following in procession , up to the top of Tiger Hill to watch the sunrise over the Himalayan Khangchendzonga range.
A bit of jostling for position to get a view. We bought tickets for the first level of the pavilion lounge where we situated ourselves on the balcony in the cold..waiting .. times like this I wish I had a really good camera. Everest could be seen, just , as a dot on the landscape to the west is the of this spectacular range.
When we returned we headed for a street cafe and sat on a wooden bench drinking sweet milky tea and coffee and eating egg buns with chilli. 4 drinks and 2 buns cost 60 rupees, cheap breakfast for us considering at some place we have paid as much as 250 rupees.
