Nepal - Sagamartha Trek - 110 - Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse close-up from Gokyo Ri — Fotopedia
Everest (left) and Nuptse/Lhotse (right, Lhotse seen behind) hazy and reflecting the early morning sun.

This was the best view of Mt Everest we saw through the trip. The sun rose nearly directly behind the peaks casting a halo and rainbow of colours behind the glare.

Heights:
Everest: 8848m (29,028 ft), tallest peak in the world
Nuptse: 7,861 metres (25,790 feet)
Lhotse: 8,516 metres (27,939 feet), 4th tallest peak
