Description

Home to many of the world’s highest peaks, the Himalayas form the rooftop of the world. Come experience the wonders of the range as I lead you along three major passes.

Roll with the mountain range to discover some of Earth’s most breathtaking panoramas.

The Kongma La is the highest peak that we will reach at 5,535 meters (18,159ft), which offers stunning views of the Makalu mountain, known as the throne of the gods.

Cho La, at 5,380 meters (17,650ft) is an icy pass that includes the interesting glacier crossing of Ngozumpa, the longest in Nepal, before we reach the pass.

Renjo La, at 5,388 meters (17,513ft) is a recently found pass by experienced Sherpas. Here we will discover the best of high Himalayan culture. Here is one of the most thrilling and challenging areas to trek in the Everest region.

As we climb even higher, the views that accompany us increase in wonder, as we head for the Everest Base Camp. Survey the deep Dudh Koshi river valley blend with the lush vegetation of the Sagarmatha National Park, packed with floral and faunal biodiversity.

Experience authentic Sherpa culture in the villages that we encounter during our trek to the Everest Base Camp. The warm hospitality of the families is unrivalled. Visit the highland monasteries and walls engraved with Buddhist prayers, as the flutter of the colorful prayer flags mixes with the spiritual atmosphere.

We also reach the Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri, from where full panoramas of the Himalaya are possible, and when we ascend Kalapatter, we are able to witness whole views of Everest.

Due to the high level of difficulty involved in this trek, as well as the tiresome long lengths of time hiking, participants are required to be physically fit and mentally strong, as well as having previous hiking experience.

Reserve your place now among the mythical Himalayan mountains and challenge yourself to this 20-day marathon trek, including the 3 passes of Renjo La, Cho La ad Khongma La.

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.
