“Gurudongmar at 5,430m in the pre-dawn dark is a memory I'll carry forever. Karma's logistics were impeccable and his altitude briefings were genuinely life-saving.”

“North Sikkim is another planet. This trip is not for the casual traveler but Karma makes it manageable and deeply meaningful. Book early — permits sell out.”
