Three Passes Trek Everest Cost- 3 Passes Trek Package
Trip Overview
Everest Three Passes Trek is the ultimate adventurous journey of the Everest region. This trip is more popular among adventure lovers as it brings over the three mountain passes of the Everest Zone, which are all the high altitude passes in the world. These alpine passes are Kongma La Pass (5535 meters /18159 feet), Cho La Pass (5368 meters/ 17612 feet), and Renjo La Pass (5360 meters/17585 feet).
Technically, it is not much difficult crossing these passes, but all these trails climb over 5000 meters, so it is essential for proper acclimatization to reduce the effects of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Here, the suggested hiking program is designed to consider this major issue.
Another remarkable feature of this adventurous journey 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.
The trekking route of the Everest Three Pass Journey is almost like the circuit of the Everest region. It covers all major highlights of the Everest Himalayan territory, from stunning views of gigantic mountains to awesome Himalayan glaciers and from serene glacial lakes to a distinct alpine lifestyle and vegetation.
The beginning of the Everest High Pass trek is from Lukla after 40 40-minute mountain flight, following the classic route of Phakding, Namche Bazaar, then towards Dingboche. From here it branches off to Chhukung Valley. Afterward, it rises with a climb to Kongma La Pass to Lobuche and Everest Base Camp. Trekking continues over Cho La Pass to Gokyo Lake, then crossing the Renjo La Pass it down to Thame. Subsequently, following the classical trail, it drops down to Lukla, where this adventure trek ends.
From Lukla, its flight back to Kathmandu where with cultural sightseeing of world heritages declared by UNESCO, followed by a farewell dinner the overall program of this trip will be completed.

About Time for Everest Pass Trek
The best time for Everest Three Pass Trekking is during the months of September, October, November, April, and May. During the mentioned months the weather becomes pleasant with clear Skies and temperatures at higher places are more bearable. In winter and during the monsoon months flights are frequently canceled because of poor visibility at the Lukla airstrip. The most serious obstacle of trekking in winter is cold weather and high passes are filled with snow. Consequently, it’s very difficult to find the trail.
The trip date of the Everest Three Pass Trek will be on any date on which you feel comfortable. We organize this trek as your private trip.

As you walk, scan the skies and the undergrowth for golden eagles and the spectacular Himalayan Monal (danphe or impeyan pheasant) with its regal, shimmering green, blue and purple plumage. In forested areas around Namche Bazaar, Thame, Phortse, and Tengboche keep your eyes peeled for Himalayan Thar and musk deer often spotted beside trails early in the morning. You may also hear the strange hoarse call of the muntjac or barking deer. Everest is also home to both leopards and snow leopards and allegedly the fearsome yeti.
Naturally Everest Region is so beautiful but equally, it is fragile as well. Increasing population density and numbers of trekkers threaten the very beauty of this area. We at Silver Himalaya Adventures are extremely conscious about protecting its beautiful natural environment and preserving the fascinating local culture.
