All back safe and sound in Pokhara

Will share better photos and much writing in several hours(our night and your Sunday morning)

Our trek pushed all of us -myself included- to our limits at different times. For most of us 5000 meters just does not have much oxygen present with O2 levels dropping in the low 60% range! Then there are the few who it does not seem to affect.

8 out of 15 of us made it to Tilicho Lake, but as someone once said the mountain peak is where you decide it to be as there is always somewhere higher; where your decide is your limit is where you are meant to be. To be sure, we all reached that place on our Himalayan sojourn.

On our way down from 5000 meters

What an amazing journey this has been. Not much air above 15,000 feet but the beauty of being surrounded by 28,000 foot peaks full of glaciers made the climb simply incredible. We all hit our own walls and just 8 our if 15 of us made it to Tilicho lake. As someone said, the top is wherever we define it to be. Most importantly, we are all safe and on our way down.

Thanks – Louis
