Jorbangala

Well that was a waste of 5 hours. We were meant to see the sunrise over the Himilaya Mountain's this morning so were awake at 3am to catch what is meant to be a lovely view. Ha Ha Ha.

There was a traffic jam within minutes of leaving the Hotel. We eventually get there and it is so foggy you cannot see in front of you so no hope of sunrise. Not that this stopped the stupid tourists. 100's left their cars and walked to the point. We sat in the car as would need to walk 1.5km to point to see nothing. What a waste of time. We did do a lot of laughing at the tourists though because they kept walking past us to view the sunrise. Apart from the fact that you could not see anything due to the fog, sunrise was well and truly over as the tourists kept coming . This created a huge traffic jam of cars and people so we sat in the car from start to finish 4 hours. Even our guide did not turn up he claims to have told the Hotel it was raining so we would not be going but that is not what the Hotel told us.
