Description

Mount Everest (8,848m) is the highest mountain in the entire world. Its legend is as enormous as the mountain itself. And among the towering peaks of the Himalayas, it is the supreme peak. And on this sprawling 53 day expedition, you will get to reach this mammoth peak’s awe inspiring summit.

A trek to the summit of Everest is a trek to glory. It is the dream of many, if not all mountaineers. And the moments spent breathing in the thin air from the summit are indescribable. And it is our pleasure to see that dream come true, and to have you enjoy those phenomenal moments.

Beyond the fantastic experience of reaching Everest’s summit, this trip also involves several other adventures, most of which are worthy of a trip all on their own. Those adventures include several days in Kathmandu, which you will get to explore, the famed flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and back, and a visit to the gorgeous Thyangboche Monastery. You will also get to visit several wonderful Nepalese villages, including Namche Bazaar, Deboche and Phakding.

When it comes to the Everest climb itself, you will have not days, but weeks to conquer this amazing mountain. Thus giving you plenty of time to get properly acclimatized.

On this expedition, you will get to enjoy the thrill of climbing the world’s highest peak. And you will get to do it in complete comfort, with professional guidance throughout. Do you want to live this dream shared by so many climbers around the world? Then send us a request. We look forward to guiding you.

We can also take you to the summit of the great Manaslu mountain on this 52 day trip.

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.
