Source of the Ganges Exploratory – Backcountry Skiing and Splitboarding India

The Ganga (Ganges). Lifeblood to millions, and holiest of rivers to those of the Hindu faith. The Ganga originates in the ice clad peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas, central India, fed by heavy winter and monsoon snows. Millions of people flock each year to have their sins washed away by its waters. We travel to the source, and explore the upper reaches for skiing and splitboarding. We will visit with holy sadhus, acclimatize on lower peaks in the Harsil valley, and seek out aesthetic lines in this extraordinary region while also learning about the winter way of life for the local Garhwali people.

Colangma Exploratory

This expedition begins in Kathmandu, visiting some important Tibetan Buddhist cultural sights while also taking in modern day Kathmandu life. We fly over the Himalayas to Lhasa, the once lifeblood of the now far removed Tibetan diaspora. From Lhasa we overland into the high Himalayas, meet our yaks (that will carry all the expedition equipment), and go into the mountains to ski.  The goal of this trip is to ski as much as possible, yet we will have some travel time on each end of the expedition.

Manaslu | 8163m

We’ve chosen Manaslu for our 8000 meter climb due to Nepal’s consistency in permit availability (compared to Cho Oyu), ease of access (Gasherbrum Two contains some truly painful red tape to obtain a visa and even enter Pakistan), and good summit success rates (~60%).
