The Nepali mountain I didn't see

Tweet

We were in Nepal in January and spent a few days in Pokhara. Vince was keen for me to see the sun rise from a particular spot. We rose early and caught a taxi which went up and up and up – then up some more. We then got out and walked further up the mountain. We passed one house where the woman was very insistent that we should go onto her rooftop to watch the sunrise. However, Vince kept walking to the next house from where he’d taken photos in a previous year. The people brought us chairs and coffee. It was very cold and there was a lot of fog and cloud. Just for a moment, we caught just the quickest glimpse of a mountain top but then the cloud obscured the view again. Once the sun was fully up, we watched the woman weaving a scarf then caught our taxi back to our hotel. It was unfortunate that we didn’t see the mountains but, as they say, them’s the breaks. The photo is what Vince saw and what he was hoping I’d see. The mountain is called ‘Fishtail’ and is actually two peaks, one behind the other.
