Thick cloud on the way to Kathmandu

Fabulous aerial views of the Himalaya, from 35, 000 feet above mean sea level! This clip also affords a superb view of Mt. Everest or Chomolongma in Tibetan or Sagarmatha in Nepalese. This is the world's highest mountain at 29, 028 feet of 8848 meters altitude. This view is seen from just above the altitude of Everest in Nepal. Just as the plane passes a large cloud bank appears the gaunt figure of Everest...
