Description

Are you considering climbing a 8000 meters peak ? Join me in a great expedition in one of the most beautiful peaks in the world …

Shishapangma summit is located in the Tibet, more precisely in Langtang National Park in China. It has 8013 meters high and it’s one of the most accessible world’s 8000 meters peak.

Due to the terrain, Shishapangma is not a technically difficulty climb and the access to Base Camp is done by a short trek. Besides this, it’s one of the highest peaks in the world, so participants must have an excellent physical condition. Additionally, it’s necessary to have prior climb experience in altitude.

Before giving more details about the program, I summarize the reasons why the Shishapangma ascent is a great option:

– It’s not technically difficult and it’s easy to approach to the Base Camp;

– During the treks and the ascent, we’ll enjoy incredible landscapes of the surrounding nature and also stunning views of other incredible peaks;

– Besides the mountaineering part, the expedition also allow us to discover the Tibetan culture trekking through some traditional small villages.

I propose a 43-day program to discover this incredible area. The expedition starts in the city of Kathmandu in Nepal. After some days of travel through some traditional villages, we reach to the Chinese Base Camp. There we’ll take a few days for acclimatization. At least, we’ll take the normal climbing route to the top of our main peak objective.

As a IFMGA certified mountain guide, my principal objective is to offer you a program that meet your expectations and I think this is the ideal! So, I bring all my mountain experience to guide you in this amazing experience and help you to discover such a beautiful place.

If you have any interest in this program, please don’t hesitate in getting in touch with me. We’ll have the time to discuss about all the program details. It will be really my pleasure to guide you there!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
