Lazarus uses the best transport and accommodation that these remote areas provide. From the second day of our journey, we travel in an entourage of luxury vehicles with highly experienced drivers. There is no trekking involved although there are ample opportunities for numerous walks.
These journeys entail making a slow ascent into remote regions of the high Himalayas with its spectacular beauty, profound silence and natural sanctity. We travel off the beaten track, away from tourism in general and for this reason refrain from disclosing on the internet routes and places where we stay. We also visit remote Buddhist monasteries and have the privilege of meeting lamas who have no contact with the outside world or westerners (apart from our groups.) This is also applicable in relation to visiting remote Hindu shrines and meeting Yogi’s and shamans in general.
Declining from naming routes, monasteries and also the lamas who accompany us on our journeys, and who are part of our team, is to protect both the privacy of these people and also vulnerable and ecologically important areas which are becoming increasingly eroded by unnecessary exploitation.
