The 7 Summits Club super guide Olya Rumyantseva sends from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal from the "Anahata" group! Today we saw the sunrise with a view of Everest.

To achieve this, we had to wake up in the middle of the night and set out for Kala Pathar, the best viewpoint on our route. It was challenging, cold, and the altitude was taking its toll. Kala Pathar, although a small hill against the backdrop of the snowy giants, is actually 5,645 meters high. But our efforts were fully rewarded with marvelous views of Everest and its neighbors.

We watched the sun color the mountain peaks and bathe the beautiful Pumori in golden sunlight. It was a wonderful morning. After descending, we almost immediately flew by helicopter first to Lukla and then to Kathmandu.

By lunchtime, our entire team had gathered at the Yak and Yeti Hotel, where we enjoyed the blessings of civilization that we often overlook in everyday life.

In the evening, we will have a celebratory dinner. Everyone will receive commemorative awards—medals and diplomas. And then we will begin making plans for next year.
