Description

The opportunity to see the mighty Mount Everest (8,848m) is the kind of experience many people dream about, but few actually get to do. And on this 20 day adventure along the famed Gokyo route, you will not only get to see the highest mountain on earth, you will also get to see 3 more of the world’s 14 highest mountains as well. Those mountains include Cho Oyu (8,201m), Lhotse (8,516m) and Kanchenjunga (8,586m). However, the highlights of the trip don’t stop at those peaks. You will also get to spend several days in Kathmandu, enjoy a breathtaking flight to and from Lukla, visit several beautiful Nepalese villages, including Namche, Dragnag, Lobuche, Machherma, meet some amazing Sherpas, and see some truly incredible landscape.

The majority of this trip will involve long hikes, some as long as 7 hours. As a result, participants should be in good physical condition. However, while there are some challenging spots scattered throughout the Gokyo route, it is still a moderate level trek. And because this trip lasts nearly 3 weeks, you will be given plenty of time to properly acclimatize. Thus ensuring you have not only an enjoyable, but a comfortable and safe experience.

The entire Everest region is is like visiting heaven on Earth. There is just something about it, not just something magical, but something beyond that, something spiritual, something majestic. It is an inexplicable feeling to be in the midst of such grandness, and we will see to it that you have every chance to not only experience, but enjoy that incredible feeling as much as possible.

If you have dreamed of seeing Mount Everest, this is your chance. And you don’t even have to be an expert climber to do so! So send us a request, and join us on this 20 adventure along the unforgettable Gokyo route.

We can also lead you on another still developing hiking trek in the Everest region on this 19 day trip to the Dudh Kunda area.

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.

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.
