India (March, 1998) – We woke up super early to catch a ride up to Tiger Hill before sunrise for a view of both Mount Everest and K2. I don't believe I had ever been so cold in my life, despite growing up in Canada. Darjeeling's humidity is due the elevation of the clouds, which meant being chilly in addition to sticky. On our way back down from a gloomy morning and minimal views of the majestic mountain ranges, we chanced upon a boisterous group of children on their way to school.
