Description

The trek to the Mount Everest base camp (5,364m) is an amazing journey. And like all great journeys, the destination is but one part of the spectacle.

Over the course of this 19 day hiking adventure, you will get to see and experience a great deal. Some examples of the amazing places you will see on this trip include the city of Kathmandu, Lukla, Namche Bazar, Machermo, and Gokyo Ri. You will have the chance to enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramic viewpoints of the Himalayas from Kala Pather. You will also get to see Gorakshep, Tengbuche, Dole, the Khumba ice fall and so much more.

Meanwhile, you will also get to experience the unforgettable flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. And you will, of course, get to experience the thrill of reaching Everest base camp, where you can just look up and behold the great mountain itself.

We will be trekking through good trails at a pace of approximately 4 to 5 hours a day. Some days will seem harder than others. As a result, there will be plenty of time dedicated to proper acclimatization. But along those trails, you will pass through Sherpa villages and some of the most breathtaking landscapes you will ever see, including some of the highest peaks in the world!

The trek to Everest base camp is one of the most famous hiking tours in the world, and with good reason, because every moment of this trek feels amazing and surreal. I know you will remember it for the rest of your life. Please send me a message if you are interested in joining me.

I can also offer another memorable hiking trip in Nepal on this 17 day hiking adventure through Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.

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.
