Follow Phurba Namgyal Sherpa, an IFMGA certified mountain guide from Nepal, into this challenging Mount Everest expedition through the north route and live the unforgettable experience of reaching the world’s highest summit leaving from Tibet.
Himalaya
58 Days
Apr - Jun
I invite you to a once for a lifetime experience: a 58-day Mount Everest expedition. At the border of Nepal and Tibet lies Mount Everest (8848 m), the world’s highest peak and one of the most extreme challenges for climbers around the globe.
Although you can climb this Himalaya giant from both sides, I propose doing it from the Tibetan side because it’s relatively easier and less expensive. Our climbing route will be the North Ridge, which I consider a safe route as we can avoid the dangerous ice fall on the south of the mountain.
It’s worth mentioning I count with an incredible team, including Sherpa, cooks, doctor and guides. All of us are widely experienced on climbing Everest through the North Side and fully trained to help you achieve your goal safely. I’m a mountain guide member of the International Federation of the Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA).

Mountain Guide
I'm a certified NNMGA / UIAGM / IFMGA mountain guide from Nepal. Together with my guiding team, we have been a top expedition seller or organizer for North side expeditions. We have been working very closely with the China Tibet authorities, and were able to obtain permit for complicated expeditions. I would say we have been specialized for North expeditions due to these reasons.
As a guide and mountaineer, I found my passion for the outdoors and climbing early in life when I was first contracted as a trekking guide for a Japanese team to Yala peak (5520m). Since then I have worked with many adventure tourism agencies and successfully summited Mt. Everest, Mt. Cho-Oyu, Mt. Ama Dablam , Mt. Baruntse and many other peaks in Nepal. I'm fluent in German and English which allowed me to guide in the Alps several times. I have a right temperament, I'm dedicated and I have a friendly approach to lead and help the climbing teams accomplish their goals.

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.
