Ladakh Trek 2008
We spent a week trekking and sleeping under the stars with the primary aim of raising
money for Balashram school. The trek was physically challenging but provided a unique and beautiful experience that was enjoyed by all trekkers.
Here are just a few comments from those that took part:
"I was fortunate to partake in the 2008 Balashram Trek. We hiked through the Himalayas in
Ladakh, Kashmir, India. With the blessings of Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji, the trek was
truly a pilgrimage. Every step symbolizing the breath - one by one it allows us to reach
the summit. I believe everyone on the trek was challenged in order to grow spiritually, I
certainly was and am grateful for it; the journey helped me tremendously in my personal
development. I give Thanks. Jai Guru!!!"
" A magnificent opportunity to help others that are less fortunate than us and a wonderful adventure shared with like minded souls. However it is essential that you train and get fit to truly enjoy this great event"
“A wonderful, well organized trek
A group of heartwarming people
Fascinating largeness of untouched nature
And this all for a unique purpose”
"Having been a tour guide myself, I know how difficult it can be to meet the needs of the group. The patience of the crew was amazing! They truly did a fantastic job." "A wonderful opportunity. I was surprised by how generously people responded: Balashram is incredibly easy to promote as a good cause."
"One hundreds of centuries cannot be enough to describe all the miracles of the Himalayans" - but some of these miracles I could experience on this trek - the miracle of community and solidarity -."
“Anita & Deepan did an excellent job and did everything possible to make the trip fulfilling and enjoyable."
“II was really impressed with your organisation , your commitment to the environment and your selection of excellent guides.”
