Beautiful Himalayas

The beauty of the towering Himalayas are the first sight you see as the plane banks to decend down into mile high Kathmandu International Airport. Majestic is what everyone says about our Mt. Rainier ( all of 14,411 ft.) and that is definitely an understatment for the highest peak of the Himalayas, Mt Everest at 29.035 ft.

It is lovingly called in Nepali - Sagamatha ( Goddess of the Sky) and in Tibetan Chomolungma(Mother Goddess of the Universe). Now that tops all reverence! Note the mountain is female and then again, why not?

The beauty or glorious panorama before you seems to be saying in a whisper, "Hello little one. What brings you here?" You are speechless and you stand there eyes wide open, mouth wide shut for your voice would break the trance in the presence an almighty creation.

Nature is powerful in its forcefulness and in its serenity. Peace, Namaste and Shalom are the reasons one comes to the Himalayas. Peace is what you are allowed to take back as well.
