himalayan journeys

are you ready to fulfil your very own himalayan dream?

experience nature in its extraordinary himalayan energy

the transparent blue air of high altitudes is crystal clear, supporting deep reflection and clarity as you experience pure nature outside and within. the physical challenge of moving beyond your comfort zone invites you to explore your inner boundaries and to let go of whatever is moving your mind (because you simply do not have oxygen to waste on irrelevant thoughts). once you acclimatize well, there is a great power and energy, which intensifies as you climb higher, bringing you to spaces of deep insight and personal transformation: the experience of being in balance with nature will ultimately re.connect you to your essence.

your individual journey at the same time supports collective sensitisation: in recognising the beauty & sacredness of the spaces we travel, we reinstate appreciation of their great global significance as sanctuaries of pristine nature and its regenerative value.

everest is the world’s highest peak, a mountain of global significance. for many it symbolizes peak experience, endurance, perseverance. everest is also chomolungma, a female goddess in the local sherpa belief.  and the space she holds is a tremendously powerful sanctuary of global relevance and spiritual significance.
