Join IFMGA guide Tshering and his team on this 17-day hiking trip in Nepal. You will go through beautiful tranquil routes with the best views of Annapurna.
Himalaya
17 Days
Mar, Apr, Sep, Oct
There are many hiking routes in Nepal. This one, in particular, is in my opinion one of the best short ones. We stay away from the principal hiking routes and enjoy the imposing views in the area. Indeed, the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges are in front of us.
We will go through remote Gurung villages, also beautiful forests.
We go to Pokhara, then visit tranquil villages and terraced crops with beautiful views of Annapurnas. At this point, we leave civilization behind. We will hike in rhododendron forests. Our aim is Kopra Ridge (3660 m), from where we see an incredible scenery. For example, the towering Nilgiri peaks, Annapurna South (7237 m), Annapurna I (8091 m) and the Dhaulagiri.
The trip starts at Nayapul – Pirethanto. Then the return route goes down by alpine country, taking another trail to Pokhara.
I propose an itinerary which I can of course adapt based on your time here and your wishes.
If you are interested in this trekking program or if you wish something different please get in touch with me and let's discuss about it! I will guide you here with much pleasure and share with you all I know about my country and culture!

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!

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
