Fill out the health formOnce again, Chèvres joins forces with Karavaniers, the adventure travel experts, for a third international trip. A trip to discover Sherpa Country and the Thame Valley, far from the crowds and busy trails. It's more than a trekking itinerary, it's a privileged contact with the Sherpa population, an exploration of the Gokyo valley, the ascent of the Renjo pass (5340 meters altitude), all with a view of Everest and the giants of the world's rooftops. An opportunity to experience Nepal's high mountains in all their splendour, in the atmosphere of Chèvres.
In collaboration with Karavaniers, we've put together the trip of a lifetime. 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 IS SOLD OUT - you can leave us your e-mail address above to join the waiting list.
A deposit of 35% of the land portion is required for official registration. The final amount must be paid 60 days before departure.
THE SPIRIT OF THE JOURNEY
A complete trek, as spectacular as it is human. As many mountains as smiles and connection with a touching culture. More Nepalese than tourists. Following 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.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCLIMATATION
First we'll spend 5 days near 3000m before reaching Namche. Then, before the key pass (Renjo Pass), we spend 2 nights in Thame (3800m) and Arye (4450m). Renjo Pass (5400m) and Gokyo: the pass is not technical. We also spend several days in the remote Gokyo lakes. This is an opportunity to "experience" Nepal's high mountains, with views of the gigantic roofs of the world, and the approach of part of a glacier in the distance towards Tibet.
ACCOMMODATION_ - comfort level 3/5 - rustic_
We stay in hotels in Bhaktapur and Kathmandu: pleasant and modern, they allow us to prepare for the trek and
rest afterwards.
On the trek, the camp consists of a dining tent, a kitchen tent and a toilet tent. It's quite "luxurious":
FOOD
LUGGAGE
On the trek, you carry only your day pack. Our team of porters takes care of carrying the common equipment for
cooking and camping, as well as your luggage (limited to 15kg). It is possible to leave some things in Kathmandu, which you will collect at the end of the trek.

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.
