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.

The trekking route of Everest Three Pass Journey is almost like the circuit of the Everest region. It covers all major highlights of Everest Himalayan territory from stunning views of gigantic mountains to awesome Himalayan glaciers and from serene glacial lakes to distinct alpine lifestyle and vegetation.

The beginning of Everest High Pass trek is from Lukla after 40 minutes mountain flight from Kathmandu or 20 minutes flight Ramechhap airport following the classic route of Phakding, Namche Bazaar then towards Dingboche. From here it branches off Chhukung valley. Afterward, it rises with a climb to Kongma La Pass to Lobuche and Everest Base Camp.
