Trip Overview

“Leave the roads and take the trails because adventure is out there. You just need to find it”

Everest Three Pass Trek in is one of the most renowned adventurous trekking trails for traveler enthusiasts who are seeking to trek in Khumbu region. The Everest High Pass Trek will provide a challenging venture of a lifetime in the highest mountains of the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal. During our Everest High Pass Trek you shall cross the main passes of Renjo La (5340m), Cho La (5420m) and Kongma La (5210m). Along with this, our trek also offers an insight into the local Sherpa villages, their customs and traditions.

This is a more challenging alternative to the traditional trek to Everest Base Camp with an ascent of Kalapathar and Gokyo Ri as well as crossing the Himalayan mountain pass of Cho La. The Everest High Pass trek starts with an exciting flight to the mountain airstrip at Lukla and then the trek follows the classic route to the Sagarmatha National Park passing along the huge Dudh Koshi River, and crossing breath-taking landscapes. In general we shall cross Konga La (5535 m), Cho La (5420 m) and Renjo La (5340 m) passes in our trekking period. Our trekking trail goes through Lukla, Namche bazaar and all the way to Gokyo (5357m), Chola Pass, Kalapathar (5545m), Everest Base Camp and Island Peak (6189m). During the trekking period we will explore the heart of the Sherpa homeland, visiting Namche Bazaar (3440m) and Khumjung village before ascending the stunning Gokyo Valley. You shall also visit the Thame village, the birthplace of the famous mountaineer Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, who reached on the top of the world’s highest mountain, Everest, together with Edmund Hillary on 29 May 1953. Our route will include a trip to Everest Base Camp (5380m) and explore the tumbling Khumbu Glacier. This trek is also a window into traditional Sherpa villages and ‘gompas’ (monasteries), their mountain Buddhist culture and their sacred peaks and valley. Highlights of three passes treks are the Chhukhung valley, Chhukhung Ri (peak), hiking to Ama Dablam base camp, trekking to Everest base amp then climb up to Kala Pattar, as well as the Gokyo lakes. Then we retrace the trail back as we walk down to Namche Bazaar and Lukla through Chukhung and Tengboche.

If you want a true adventure and a challenge, then this trek is for you. This trek is not for the novice as normally the trek is done above 3,600 m altitudes so an above average physical fitness is required in order to complete this trek successfully. For the most of the time spring and autumn seasons are considered as the best times to trek in the Everest region. Join Himalayan Trekking Alliance now and find yourself on the adventure of a lifetime!
