I think it would be cool to see Mount Everest, but I would not want to climb to the top...seriously no way, I would prefer to enjoy it in the perspective of being at the base and looking up. And possibly see about trying some nepal style chai tea that I read about in a national geographic article about the villages and places surrounding the himalayas.


Bhutan is even more picturesque.

Interesting fact about Bhutan: The main airport, Paro, is perhaps the most difficult airport in the world to fly in and out of. Only 7 or 8 people in the world are even licensed to fly there. It's in a very narrow valley, surrounded by very high peaks, and it takes very special maneuvering to do the approach or take-off.
