I've done trekking some months ago in Karnala, trekked uphill with friends, but felt downhill was a bit riskier, so partially came down with friends, and partially with our trekking instructor. It was a good experience, totally doable. I had done horse riding some years ago, when I was fairly sighted, I can't remember any part where you'd need sight. I simply had to hold onto the horse, and the rest would be done by it and its trainer. Totally doable again. Quite some time ago, someone shared an news article, where a couple of visually impaired people (a few of them are on this list) had done some serious trekking/climbing, hope one of them shares their experience here. By the way, a question from me, I had heard, I may be totally mistaken because I'm absolutely unsure, but had heard that there was a blind person who had climbed the 17 highest peaks in the world? Is something like this actually true, if so, could you share that mountaineer's name, and any related information, would be interesting.
