Everest In Our Sights

We didn't get to see Everest though until we'd done quite a bit of climbing. It was a very pleasant path up and, between you and us, we secretly found it quite easy going, although we bears don't carry a lot of extra weight, unlike a lot of humans we know.


We had frequent rest stops as we waited for others in our party to catch up. Our picture gives you an idea of the terrain: the chap in black is Bhakta our excellent Nepali leader. As you can see from his crossed arms pose this was an easy walk in the park for him.

We all know that good things are worth waiting for, and this was true of our first view of Everest. So here we are, appearing with the famous mountain as it allowed us a first, and yes, distant, glimpse through the foliage.


Just in case you think Everest is too small in our picture for you to be sure it is the genuine article, we'll also give you a zoomed version.


There's no mistaking it now, but you will be seeing more pictures as we got to trek much closer.

Sorry we've been too busy recounting our Nepal adventures to be very festive, but we do all, very much, want to wish all our readers a very happy and peaceful Christmas.

Enjoy your celebrations, as we will most certainly enjoy ours.

Lots of love, George, Yorkie and all at Bears Unlimited xxx
