While the Himalayas region of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is much more linear compared to the open world areas seen in the game so far, it still has several secrets to uncover.

Players who want to get every Note in the game and get the Archivist Achievement will need to know how to get all of the collectibles atop this snowy mountain.
