"I had never trekked before and was terrified I would slow everyone down. The guides paced us perfectly. Standing at the summit watching the sunrise - I actually cried. Best decision of my life."

"I have done resort trips that cost 3x this much and felt nothing. ₹7,500 for views that made me forget my phone existed? The frozen lake, the snow peaks at sunrise - absolute steal."
