On Open Letter to Ryan Sandes and Ryno Griesel: Why you will not be breaking the FKT on the Great Himalaya Trail

This type of statement displays a lack of understanding about the history of Great Himalayan Trail and the many possible route variations. Himalayan Adventure Labs maintains the most complete database of people who have crossed the Himalayas on foot, as well as the […]
