Solo Three Passes Trek with Everest Base Camp

Trip Overview

Everest Three Passes Trek is an exciting adventure hiking journey in the Everest region of Nepal. This trip is now getting more popular among hikers from all around the world as it grants to cross over the three mountain passes of the Everest area. These alpine passes are called Kongma La Pass (5535 meters /18159 feet), Cho La Pass (5368 meters/ 17612 feet) and Renjo La Pass (5360 meter/17585 feet).

Technically it is not much difficult crossing these passes but all these trails climb over 5000 meters so it is essential proper acclimatization to reduce the effects of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Here the suggested hiking program is designed for considering this major issue.

Another remarkable feature of this 3 Pass Trek is to be also at the Everest Base Camp, the foothill of the world’s tallest mountain, and to hike up Kalapathar as well as Gokyo Ri. Both of them are smaller peaks from where the awesome close-up view of Mount Everest and other towering peaks of the planet can be experienced.

Why does Trekking Guide need for Three Passes Trek?

Solo Three Passes Trek without a good guide may be risky as well as uncomfortable. While trekking in the Everest mountain area, the solo trekker will obviously confuse to find out the exact trail since there are side trails used by Sherpas. If there is a guide there will not be any confusion about finding out the proper route. Through the guide, you will get important information about the Himalayas, villages, local lifestyle, flora, and fauna.

Another more important thing is Everest Base Camp is high altitude journey. The trekker needs to walk up to 5500 meters from sea level. So, in High Land, sometime you may face altitude sickness. Altitude sickness should be properly handled on time. In severe cases, you need to immediately evacuate by chopper to Kathmandu. So, in such an emergency situation, if you have a guide he will handle everything well and you will be on the safe side.

In the case of Porter, it is optional. If you can carry your own backpack/ luggage during the entire trek, it is not compulsory.
