TRIP INTRODUCTION
Epic Tibet will bring you some of the toughest and longest climbs you’ve done and some easier days of slowly rolling down hill. It’s tough because of the lack of oxygen but we assure you that once you reach the top you’ll have a great appreciation for the struggle you had. The reward for accomplishing each climb everyday is far superior to any short breath you encounter.
​
For anyone, anyone that wants to conquer the impossible, overcome one of the biggest challenges you can do. Soak up the Tibetan culture and see the incredible landscapes that the Himalayans have to offer.
