text:  My father ran a tea house at the base of a Makalu camp named Saurigot Tea House. And the view of Sagar Mata, Mount Everest, from there was extremely beautiful. Makalu is a mountain neighbor to Everest. It's the fifth highest mountain in the world. And so ever since I was a little girl, because of that view, I've always wanted to go up, climb the mountain, and see what it would feel like to be up there.
