When I was kid, my grand mother use to tell that the mountains are visible on the horizon during the sunrise and sunset on a clear day from our village Seema. Thanks to 'Google Tilt View' as this is visually true. Here is the screenshot. So surprised to see how close is Nepal border and mountains in Nepal and Tibet.
No wonder why Buddha could travel all the way to those mountains. Link: https://goo.gl/YkBmZm.
At the top you can find Gaurishankar Conservation Area, Nepal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaurishankar_Conservation_Area) and Tigari, Tibet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tingri_%28town%29)
I migrated from Seema as a toddler to Samastipur and then Patna, Bangalore and travelled across the globe to US and Europe.
Here is an album where you can spot the difference about Fruits, village, land, culture, people.
Funny thing is that Nepal is 36 km from my village Seema but I never went that side.
Nepal is a must visit in my next visit to my Village! Route to Jiri, Nepal : https://goo.gl/T8ao4k
I remember of visit to TV Tower in Stuttgart Germany (Official Web Site).
The lift took us to the view floor (about 150 meters) in less than a minute.
Waiting there was spectacular view of the city, the vineyards, and panoramas over till Swabian alps and Black forest.
Sunset, a nice restaurant, live music and coin operated binoculars further enhanced the experience.
I dream of a Tower like that some where in the region.
