Spiritual Closures for Your Mount Everest summit Expedition
Don't let your Everest trekking adventure end at the Lukla airport bar. Intentionally closing your Mount Everest expedition with a gratitude ritual ensures the experience stays in your heart forever.
Stop at the prayer wheels in Namche on your way down. Reflect on your strength as you spin them one last time. It’s a way to thank the mountain for your safety during the journey to the Mount Everest summit region.
Before the tipping ceremony, hold a quiet 'gratitude circle' with your Sherpa team. Acknowledging the specific moments they helped you on the way to Everest Base Camp builds a deep, lasting bond after your expedition.
When you return to Kathmandu, visit Boudhanath Stupa. Walking the kora (circumambulation) is the traditional way to mark the successful end of a Mount Everest expedition and offer prayers for the Himalayas.
Gratitude is the bridge between the mountain and your normal life. Finish your Everest trekking with heart, and the Mount Everest summit will always be a part of you.
