VIEW FROM SARANGKOT

High in the western hills near Kathmandu, A place to stand and gaze at dawn of day And marvel there at far off ghostlike view. Bold shadows lurking in the distant grey, Before the solar arc comes to break through And dominate with its amber display. Now comes into focus a sharp outline. See Annapurnas standing, three in line.

Yes been there. Catch plane to Kathmandu. Cheap lodgings there. Then fly down in small plane to Pokhara. Arrange taxi for 4am to drive up Sarangkot hill. See Himalayas at daybreak. You must do this. True magic. Tony
