Description
Definitely one of the most impressive mountains in the Himalayas of Nepal, Manaslu (8,156m) is an absolute wonder.
Throughout this 17 day trekking adventure, I would like to guide you through the beautiful area where Manaslu and other spectacular peaks stand tall. A few examples of the other great mountains you will be able to see during this trip include Himalchuli (7,893m) and Nagdi Chuli (7,879m).
More than the mountains, this trek will allow you to immerse yourself in the fascinating and wonderful culture of the local people. The population of the area are predominantly Gurung, a wonderful group of people who are direct descendants of Tibetan immigration. We will be stopping in different places every day of this trip. Thus giving you a great opportunity to explore somewhere new. Some of the places we will be stopping include Jagat, Deng, Ghap, Sama Goun, Samdo, Dharapani and many more. You will also get to spend a few days exploring the city and valley of Kathmandu.
Over the course of the trek, we will be venturing progressively higher and higher, but there will be rest days. Hence giving you a chance to get properly acclimatized. However, we will be hiking from 4 to 8 hours per day. As a result, participants should be in good physical condition.
The area around Manaslu is mesmerizing. From the mammoth peaks looming above, to the lovely people you will get to meet, to the sensational landscape you will see during the hikes, this will be a trip you will never forget. So send me a request and let me guide you on a great adventure.
I also lead an 18 day trek that will take you from Kathmandu to Lukla to Everest base camp to Gokyo and back.

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!

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.
