This was the best light we had on the way up. It wasn't difficult to find the way as there were about 200 people on their way up, all with headlamps or lights of one sort or another. It was a hell of a climb up, but well worth it when the sun started to come up.
Campbell was well bundled up as the sunrise debuted.
Although the sun had not yet risen, the first light showed the mountains in all their majesty.
Campbell posed in front of the sign showing that we had in fact climbed to a height of 3210 metres. Not bad for 5:00 in the morning!
The sun broke the horizon at 6:18 and began to touch the tops of the mountains, one after another.
The sun kept creeping lower and lower on the mountains. It really was a glorious sight to see.
One final mountaintop and the area was complete with sunlight.
At about 7:00 we headed back down to our guesthouse (somewhere down amongst all the blue roofs) for a much-deserved and welcomed breakfast with hot tea.
