Better chance, but of course no guarantee. I've seen it on CCU-KTM.
Note, of course, that it's part of a long and high range (the Himalayas, in other words) in a region that is dense with high peaks. It is not an isolated peak like Mt. Fuji or something, so it's not particularly distinctive. People see all kinds of peaks and proudly post that they have seen Mt. Everest ("confirmation bias"). I am more familiar with its shape because of summer vacations spent in Darjiling, but who knows, maybe I misidentified it also. It's not important, the whole range is spectacular if there are no clouds.
