Description

Join me on a remarkable journey through the breathtaking terrain of Nepal on a 3-day trek among the valleys of Gokyo and Khumbu, where the ever-present Everest looms large.

The trails of the Himalayas will lead us to other prominent peaks such as Ama Dablam, with its striking 6,812-meter summit, and Lhotse, which at 8,516 meters is the third-highest summit in the world.

Resting in the shadows of the iconic Mount Everest are the ethnic Sherpa people who are indigenous to the region and have infused their culture into the mountains. Get to know their fascinating customs and traditions.

Wandering the winding trails in spring, we’ll witness the blooming flora that colours the valleys and slopes. While the beautiful Buddhist monasteries infuse the smell of incense into the air.

We will discover the Gokyo Valley, where lovely green pastures flourish for yaks to graze, and where pristine lakes rest. It also features thick oak forests and gushing waterfalls. At the end of this valley, we’ll also get to see the Cho Oyu mountain.

Then we’ll get to know the Khumbu Valley, which offers some of the best views of the tallest mountains on Earth, especially Everest.

Then we will have the chance to pass through the ancient streets of Kathmandu and explore this fascinating city.

In addition, during this trek, we’ll ascend to the summits of Kalhapathar (5,643 meters) and Gokyo Ri (5,357 meters).

Get in touch now to reserve your place in the majestic mountains of Nepal on a 3-week trek that includes the valleys of Gokyo and Khumbu.

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.
