The views, the feelings, the sheer magnitude of visiting Mount Everest (8,848m) is an experience nobody could ever forget. In the heart of the Himalayas in Nepal, there is so much you can see and do. That is why on this trip I would like to give you a varied adventure. So on this trip, we will begin by picking you up at Kathmandu airport. From there, you will get not one, but two days to explore the wonderful Nepalese capital. We will even take you on a city tour on the second day!
Afterwards, you will get to enjoy the famous Lukla – Kathmandu – Lukla flights. While less than 40 minutes, the views and the experience of these flights are truly truly memorable.
You will get to visit a number of fantastic spots during this trek. Some examples include the following.
Namche Bazaar
Tengboche
Pheriche
Lobuche
Phakding
Khumjung
The main highlights of this trip however are Everest base camp and Gokyo. In the case of base camp, we will also visit Kalapatter (5,545m), which will enable you to get some great views of the mighty mountain. For Gokyo, you will also get to visit the Gokyo peak (5,450m) as well.
Since we will be trekking for approximately 4-6 hours a day, it is important that participants are in good physical condition.
This 18 day trek from Kathmandu to Gokyo, with time at Everest base camp is an incredible journey. To experience it for yourself, just send me a request.
I also lead a shorter, 12 day trek that will take you from Kathmandu to Everest base camp and back.

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.
