Description

Surrounded by the rugged mountains of the Himalaya, Nepal is an ideal place for mountaineering expeditions. Follow me on this challenging 61 day adventure and discover the great Mount Manaslu!

In the Nepalese Himalayas and at an altitude of 8,163 metres (26,781 ft) above sea level, Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world. During this expedition, you will enjoy the spectacular views of Mt. Annapurna (8,091 m/26,545 ft),Mt. Dhaualgiri (8,167 m/26,795 ft) and 18 other amazing mountains, surrounded by stunning landscapes and lush valleys.

Our adventure will start in Kathmandu where we’ll discover its religious and cultural treasures. From there, we’ll transfer by bus to the city of Gorkha and start ascending from village to village. Then, during the days to come, we’ll walk 5 hours per day until we reach the Mt. Manaslu base camp located at 4,850 m (15,912 ft).

Manaslu is a challenging mountain to climb. Every day we’ll walk 5 to 7 hours and along the way, we’ll set up 4 camps until we reach the top. During this ascent, climbers will encounter a few stretches of steep climbing, crevasses and snow and ice climbing as well.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.
