FOUR WINDS EXPEDITIONS

HIMALAYAN GUIDE SERVICE SINCE 1995

We have been guiding trips in the Himalaya since 1994 and have more than 27 years and 45 seasons of experience at altitude, including 24 successful climbing expeditions. With an emphasis on uncrowded treks and remote climbs, clients leave Nepal/Tibet having experienced the rich culture, ancient trails, and the intense climbing available in the Himalaya.

FOUNDER: MATT FIORETTI

Matt has been Alpine climbing since 1984 and brings 30 years of experience to the high altitude arena. Gombu Sherpa, Singi Lama, and Arjun Rai joined Matt early on and bring with them more than 36 years combined experience on the trails and steep faces of the high peaks. The accumulation of years and passion for the mountains between the 3 individuals insures a safe, rare adventure.

"May the four winds blow you safely home."

NEW BOOK

At age forty, when he was at the peak of his climbing career, Matt suffered with life threatening Aplastic Anemia for three years before ultimately receiving a bone marrow transplant. In his book, Matt shares his unique perspective on survival and of the power of the mind/body connection that grew from his medical journey and many years climbing and leading expeditions in the Himalaya.

PURCHASE

“Being aware of fear and managing it during any illness is essential to survival and to really living life, not just being alive. What is also essential to survival is to be aware of the gifts that come when you’re walking through hell. I just had to keep my heart open, trusting that whatever path I was on was the correct path.”

- Matt Fioretti
