When I saw your first photo I knew that I will love your post. And a mountain called Friendship peak? Perfect combination :)
Ascent of almost 4000 meters in a couple of days?! WOW!! That must have been challenging. I can imagine it's difficult to walk with such a height on your shoulders. You must be bruised all over.
I have never been to Himalaya as I believe I'm not physically built to conquer such peaks. I do love mountains and I spend as much time as I can in the Swiss Alps but this is something completely different. We have a lot of facilities in case something would happen. Being in Himalayas is being on your own, I guess.
I envy people with the guts to go there and follow their dreams.
It was lovely to follow your adventure. Thank you for sharing! The photos are stunning and your story is captivating.
Ascent of 4000 meter is just 48 hours is a hell of an experience. In Himalaya after 5000 meters the game is totally different. Here after 3500 meter the tree line got dissolved.
I never been outside of India but I just in love with swiss alps. Well said here you don't get any facilities during trek, such as food, halts, safety and rescue. In these type of vast valley you are own your own. Even here we can not use satellite phone due to LOC (Line of Control).
It is a moral booster comment from you, thank you for stopping by. May Himalaya bless you and Namaste.wow @delishtreats you have covered everything in your interesting comment. Thanks for stopping by and I am glad you liked it. The name of peak is quite impressive due to first summit of Indo-Japanese team.
Thank you for getting back to me. Glad to understand why they named this mountain like this. I can imagine it is very difficult. It's really a huge ascent and I guess that the air is changing quickly as well. Didn't you face any illness? I can't imagine that a body can adjust to it so quickly.
This is what I love about the Alps - you feel safe there. Going to Himalaya is testing you mental and physical limits and I know I would panic with the first issue so it's not for me :)
My body has been use to high altitude. This year I have already been completed two 6000 meter plus mountain peaks in Trans Himalaya. On every 1000 m the air changed into thin. Its upto us how we trained our body for such conditions.
We don't have much choice over here like alps. Everything is so expensive, like snow shoes, ice-axe, crampons, sleeping bag etc. We have to manage in what we have only.
But Himalaya need that type of facilities so that everyone can feel safe here. I hope one day everyone feel safe here after updating all the necessary facilities. Take care.
