Description
Explore the incredible country of Nepal during this 16-day trek, which will combine the breathtaking landscape of the tallest mountains on the planet with the unique sights and sounds of the country’s Buddhist culture. Let me guide you through this classic Himalayan trekking route!
This 16-day trek through the Khumbu region of the Nepalese Himalaya will take you through Buddhist Sherpa villages, over an old Tibetan caravan route, and through some of the most impressive landscape on the planet earth, with numerous 8,000 m peaks, including Mt. Everest, dotting the landscape. During this program, you will summit Gokyo Ri (5483 m), visit Cho Oyo Base camp (5200 m), and cross Renjo Pass (5345 m). As well as being a few of the trip’s highlights, they are also the highest points in terms of altitude.
While long, this program is not considered technical, therefore mountaineering or climbing experience is not required. Participants should have a reasonable level of fitness, however: we recommend that you are an active hiker or runner who can run at least 5-10 km (about 4-5 hours of hiking) and can cover 600-800 vertical meters with an 8-10 kg pack.
This program starts and ends in Kathmandu, with nightly stops at guesthouses along the route. You will be responsible for your food during the duration of the trek, which we estimate at around USD $8-12 per day. A day-by-day itinerary is included below.
Reserve now for an unforgettable 16-day adventure through one of the most iconic trekking spots in the world – Nepal! You will be awed by the enormous 8000 m peaks you encounter along the way, and I promise it will be an experience you will not soon forget.

About the guide

Mountain Guide
I am a Slovenian IFMGA mountain guide with the ZGVS.
It was when I was 12 years old that I first climbed a mountain myself and by the age of 15 I had started rock climbing.
Since then, my ascents count up to around 1000, starting from Mont Blanc in the seventies and Triglav north face to Cho Oyu, and all over South America including 18 of the 6000m+ peaks including a first ascent on south face of Aconcagua.
I have climbed and travelled all over the world, Shivlinga, K2, Mt Everest, Manaslu, Shishi Panama, El Cap and sport climbing in Kalymnos and Cuba.
Skiing powder in great conditions and rock climbing under the sun are my motto!
Contact me if you'd like to have fun safely in the mountains with me! If I am unavailable then my trusted friend guides, Franc and Milan, can take care of you!

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.

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.
