The trek began early in the morning. We were all geared up and well covered. There was nervousness and anticipation mixed together. It really helped that we were team and we had a reliable guide in Pasang. We all wanted to enjoy the beauty of sunrise at Poon Hill. We arrived early. The sun was not up yet. It was dark and moonlit. Everybody was jostling for good positions. Men were setting up camera stands from different points each wanting the best perspective. Some were drinking hot coffee or chocolate. When we talked we could see vapour from our mouth. Our teeth chattered. I lost track of where my friends were.
