Description
The Eagle Nest waterfall lies in the Lantang Valley. It’s a Nepalese region in the north of Kathmandu, near the border with Tibet. Langtang is not only an amazing valley but also an important protected area. It is indeed the 4th largest national park in Nepal.
As a local mountain guide I love seeking out new ice climbing spots all the time. That’s why I discovered the Eagle Nest and I became one of the first climbers to ascend it in February 2007. Now I’d like to guide you there so you get a real feel of the place and of the adrenaline of climbing it.
The climb to the Eagle Nest icefall consists in a one-pitch route of 30 meters in length. Right after this frozen waterfall there is the Jean Coudery, another icefall of the same characteristics. Actually you’ll have the opportunity to climb both in a same day!
I have no doubt that this 7-day ice climbing trip in the Eagle Nest will be a memorable experience and a life changing trip.
Contact me now and make your reservation for you and your group. I will be happy to help you climb such amazing ice needles!

Mountain Guide
Hi! I'm Tshering, IFMGA/NNMGA certified mountain guide. I work together with a team of certified and professional mountain and trekking guides. If I'm not available to guide you, one of my colleagues will take great care of you.
I have been climbing since 1996, starting on the 8000m mountains in the Himalaya. I'm one of the few IFMGA/NNMGA certified mountain guides (Instructor) from south Asia, gaining my qualification from the New Zealand Mountain Guides Association (NZMGA) & Nepal National Mountain Guide Association (NNMGA).
I have successfully guided on Mt Everest on multiple occasions, and other 8000m peaks such as Mt Cho-oyu (8,201m) (3 times), Sisha Pangma (8,013m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Mt. Makalu (8,463m), Mt. Lhotse (8,515m) and many more.
I have have also a strong international climbing experience and extensive knowledge of the logistics, planning and group dynamic that are also very crucial to successfully lead adventures in the Himalaya and around the world. I guided in New Zealand, Norway, France, Scotland, Thailand, Bhutan, Pakistan, India and Tibet. I'm also a rescue expert and a technical trainer for the mountain guides training.
I very much like guiding my clients in remote places, where no tourist goes. I like also discovering new routes and peaks. Please have a look to the different trekking and mountaineering expeditions I propose and contact me if you want to discuss about them. I can of course also guide you in more 'classic' routes, just get in touch with me and let's talk about your wishes!

What people are saying about Tshering Pande Bhote Guiding Team
Agata
A very well organized expedition, individual approach to every participants needs and a safety first approach. Lots of laughter in the basecamp, staff and climbers were like family. Loved this adventure, and had an amazing time.
Michael
Excellent trip with good communication with the guide. A nice day climbing spent in a secluded area with no one else.
Axelia
Great 6a and 6c climbing at the crag at Hattiban!
Michiel
Very helpful of explore share to reroute my trip to other guide. Very happy with Tshering Bhote guides! Only thing is we pushed to fast to summit. I think that was the reason we did not make it.
Mattias
I had an amazing experience with Tshering’s experienced and highly qualified team including guide Sonam Shalaka and Sherpa Thomas Vechayba. I really enjoyed the concept of acclimating for Ama Dablam by doing the Everest Base Camp trek via Gokyo Lakes and climbing a number of peaks along the way, including Lobuche, rather than the typical repetitive climbs from base camp. It is always my preference to climb with local guides who intimately know the mountain and local customs and this was a perfect example of the benefits of that rather than going with a large group of westerners. Explore-Share always does a great job of facilitating those connections. This was an outstanding experience all around and I would gladly recommend Tshering and his team for any mountaineering experience in the Himalayas.
