Overview

The Everest Three Passes Trek is one of the most challenging, adventurous and rewarding trekking experiences in Nepal. This ultimate Himalayan journey takes you deep into the heart of the Khumbu region, crossing three high mountain passes above 5,000 meters - Kongma La Pass(5,535m), Cho La Pass(5,420m) and Renjo La Pass(5,360m) while also visiting Everest Base Camp(5,364m), Kala Patthar(5,555m) and the stunning Gokyo Lakes

Designed for experienced Trekkers seeking a true mountaineering-style adventure without technical climbing, this trek offers unmatched mountain scenery, physical challenge and cultural immersion in Sherpa villages. 

 

Detailed Route Description:

The trek begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by gradual ascents through traditional Sherpa villages like Phakding, Namche Bazaar and Dingboche for proper acclimatization. 

From Chhukung, the route crosses the first and highest pass, Kongma La Pass(5,535m), leading to the Everest Base Camp(5,364m) side of the valley.
