Description

Your epic, month-long mountaineering trek through the Himalayas begins as soon as you touchdown at Kathmandu’s international airport.

From there we will bring you to the hotel and you have the rest of the day free to explore this ancient city. The next day we will go on a sightseeing tour, visiting all three of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Sights, including the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupati Nath, Swayambhu Nath (the famous Monkey Temple) and the Buddhist shrine of Bouddha Nath.

The next morning we will all board our private shuttle and head for Bhulbhule, where our trek begins. The drive takes about eight hours and passes through scenic countryside with river views, a patchwork of colorful villages, all with the massive Himalayas as a backdrop. It is really quite stunning.

From Bhulbhule, we will spend about one week trekking to base camp, surrounded by sublime Himalayan nature. We will then spend the next two weeks acclimatizing at base camp and eventually making our way to the summit. This is a lengthy process because the altitudes are so high that we will take several days at a time to adjust our bodies as we go up. The views from the top will be more than worth it though.

Finally, we will spend a few days trekking back before taking another absolutely beautiful bus ride along the shores of the Marshyangdi and Trishuli rivers with spectacular views of greenery and mountains along the way.

Before it is time to say goodbye, you will have one more free day to do as you please in Kathmandu. On the final night we will have a farewell dinner before shuttling you to the airport the next morning.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for the adventure of a lifetime as you navigate your way through the Himalayan wilderness and up to the summit of Mt Himlung Himal!

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
