Altitude Tested Me, But Guides Kept Us Safe
Wayan Putra, IndonesiaI struggled with headaches and fatigue at higher altitudes, especially crossing Dolma La Pass, but Eternal Himalaya was prepared with daily health checks, Diamox advice, and emergency oxygen ready. The itinerary's slow build-up (Lhasa rest days, gradual drives) helped a lot. Mansarovar Lake dip and puja were highlights, serene and emotional. The kora felt sacred, with powerful energy around Kailash. Guesthouses were basic (cold nights, shared facilities), and the drives were bumpy, but that's expected in remote Tibet. Guides' patience and the group's support made it manageable. Spiritually rewarding despite the hardships, left with clarity and gratitude.
Journey to the highest point
River Braddock, AustraliaWhile summiting the trail, it was getting foggy along the way, which did make the journey challenging, but on the other side, we stopped by those warm and welcoming teahouses; it seemed as if the hot tea was complementing the weather. Eventually, the trek was successful, and I am forever grateful to those individuals who made the journey entertaining and fun.
Journey Beyond words
John Moore, United StatesI would call it a healing journey rather than calling it as a tour. The landscapes were nothing more than breathtaking, and the kora was very pretty. I forgot the names of the guides, but they were the main reasons that the journey was smooth despite some inconvenience.
Challenging Yet Rewarding
Rohan Mehta, IndiaThe trek pushed me more than I expected, but every step was worth it. The landscapes kept changing with lush valleys, rocky passes, and stunning mountain vistas. What really stood out was the warmth of the locals and the simplicity of the villages along the trail. It was a mix of adventure, reflection, and pure enjoyment. I left feeling proud and deeply satisfied.
