Group: HIMALAYAN CLIMBING AND TREKKING

This is a group for people who love climbing and trekking in the Himalaya. We hope it will attract walkers, extreme high altitude climbers, and everyone inbetween. Whether you are just interested in exploring hidden valleys, or chasing new routes and first ascents on the big mountains, we hope you will find something for you in this group. Post your photos, share articles on your adventures and hopefully inspire others to follow in your footsteps.
