This trek? Wow. It pushed me physically, mentally but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I started solo, a bit nervous, but the vibe with the guide and our little trail crew turned it into this beautiful shared adventure. Every day brought something new, from surreal landscapes to deep, meaningful chats with fellow trekkers under starlit skies.
Crossing Kongma La felt like stepping into a scene from a movie wind whipping around, snow crunching underfoot, and then boom… that panoramic view. Cho La had its own magic. It wasn’t easy, but that’s what made every pass feel so earned.
What really stood out? HC Treks had the whole thing so smoothly run, I didn’t have to stress over logistics once. They had my back the whole way so I could just be in the moment. If you’re craving something raw, real, and soul-filling in the Himalayas, this is it.
