The “A Harsh Climb” section of Himalayas Adventure in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle includes 16 Adventure Notes. While you don’t need to collect them all to move forward in the story, completionists will want to find every single one. Below is a complete list, organized by map or alphabetically.
Overview Map – Himalayas
This map shows all the Adventure Notes pickup locations in the Himalayas for the “A Harsh Climb” quest in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Some areas contain multiple Adventure Notes. For more details, check the maps in the Notes section below.
In Sukhothai, there’s a guidebook called “Kummetz Guide” that highlights all notes locations. You’ll find it in Voss’ office at Voss’ Camp, located in the northeast corner of the map. The area is locked and requires the Royal Army Key. To get the key, look for the Royal Army Uniform in the camp’s shower area.
