Join me on this 11-day adventure into the heart of Nepal to witness the majestic sunrises that climb over the mountain range. We’ll climb to a peak of 3,010 meters (9875ft) with panoramic vistas of several mountains, including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.
As we hike north from Poon Hill to Pokhara, we will leave the wide roads and follow the offbeat trails, following gushing rivers and blooming forests.
The region is layered with history and culture. Explore the ancient capital city of Nepal, the largest metropolis in the Himalayas.
Infuse yourself with the spiritual visit to The Boudhanath Stupa, a 130-foot UNESCO-listed dome of Buddhist relics that dominates the skyline.
Compliment this with a visit to another famous UNESCO-listed site, the Hindu Pashupatinath Temple.
Ascend the valley of the Marshyangdi River, that stretches to 150 kilometres.
And boat around the freshwater Fewa Lake, the most popular in Nepal. We will go sightseeing around the lovely city of Phokara that is surrounded by magnificent mountain views.
This 11-day trip is perfect for those looking for an easy trek because it is one of the shorter Poon Hill routes to access the lovely mountain views and sunrises.
Reserve your place now in the spiritual mountains of Nepal. Hike the trails and experience the stunning sunrises that illuminate the beautiful mountainside.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
