Our wonderful collaboration with Karavaniers continues for a third (and final!) edition of this trek in Nepal, to discover Sherpa Country and the Thame Valley. Away from the crowds and busy trails, this 18-day trek will bring you into close contact with the Sherpa people. We'll discover the Gokyo Valley, climb the Renjo Pass (5340 m), all with a view of Everest and the giants of the world. An opportunity to experience Nepal's high mountains in all their splendor, in the atmosphere of the Chèvres.
18 days of trekking, with nights camping on your own, at an altitude of over 4000 m most of the time. Renée-Claude Bastien will be your guide along with the local Karavaniers team. A trip with a group of open-minded, motivated women, full of color and emotion: the trip of a lifetime!

A complete trek, as spectacular as it is human. As many mountains as smiles and connections with a touching culture. More Nepalese than tourists. In the footsteps of the caravans of yesteryear, paying homage to the people who gave Sagarmatha (the Nepalese name for Everest) its letters of nobility, the Sherpas.
The Sherpas are certainly the warmest people in the world. That they have managed to live among giants, that they can carry immense loads and still smile, that they have this gentleness of gesture and word, that they have a respect for the mountains that we have lost. You have to go to this country, and take the time to see and experience it.
Going too fast in the mountains always has disastrous consequences, whether on a climb or elsewhere in the mountains. We take this very seriously. First, we spend 5 days near 3000m before arriving in Namche. Then, before the key pass (Col de Renjo), we spend 2 nights at Thame (3800 m) and 2 nights at Arye (4450 m). This is an opportunity to "experience" Nepal's high mountains, with various views of the gigantic roofs of the world, and the approach of part of a glacier in the distance towards Tibet.
We stay in hotels in Bhaktapur and Kathmandu: pleasant and comfortable, they enable us to prepare for the trek and rest afterwards.
Mountain life is quite convenient. Our tents and camping equipment are comfortable. In the mountain lodge, the rooms are basic but comfortable, with showers sometimes, but a stove heats the central room... also very appreciable.
Varied - mix of local and western food
Mostly vegetarian in the mountains, prepared by a Nepalese cook.

This itinerary outlines the main features of the trip, but nothing is set in stone. The unexpected, often the most beautiful moments, can transform the route: an unknown local festival, or a newly opened region to discover. Sometimes, nature gets in the way: snow-covered passes, torrential rain or landslides. In these cases, the itinerary fades into the background to make way for adventure, under the responsibility and discernment of the guide, who guarantees the safety and spirit of the trip.

Effort - 4/5 - Committed
Most of this trek in the Sagarmatha Park has an average altitude of over 4000m. Nights are cold at altitude between the upper Thame and Gokyo valleys. This is certainly a demanding trek, but nonetheless accessible if you take the trouble to prepare yourself. The altitude differences are significant, but not exaggerated. We hike between 5 and 8 hours a day (although you can expect a longer day when crossing the pass). It's worth noting that the acclimatization stages are adequate in the Everest region (the advantage of the valleys is precisely that they allow gradual progress, at least up to the base of the pass). Twice we pass the 5,000-meter barrier. But we won't be sleeping above 4,950 metres. What's more, the first section in Sherpa country from 2,400 metres upwards offers a great way to get into the swing of things.
