Three pass trek

Everest Three Pass Trekking 20 Days

Trip Introduction

The Everest Three Passes Trek is the pinnacle of Everest adventure. This route incorporates all of the highlights, both in terms of mountain scenery and local Sherpa culture, into a comprehensive tour of the Everest region. It’s the ultimate trekking excursion, with three 5,000-meter passes giving breathtaking scenery and views.

In the Everest region, the Three High Passes Trek is extremely popular. It begins in Lukla and ascends via the Dudh Koshi valley to Namche, the Sherpa capital. Namche serves as a crossroads for trekkers, local Sherpas, and expeditions on their way to the magnificent Mt. Everest.

Everest three pass trip combines three popular routes: Renjo La Pass, Chola Pass, and Kongma La Pass. On this journey, we may see the most scenic areas of the Everest region as well as the highest passes. The trek’s highlights include Gokyo Ri, Chola Pass, and Everest Kalapathar.

Friendly Sherpa people, gorgeous towns, a diverse range of cultures and traditions, colorful festivals, and monasteries can be found all along this section of the trail. For the Renjo-La pass, we travel to Lungden (5360m). Renjo la pass offers magnificent views of Mount Everest and other Himalayan ranges that will last a lifetime. The Renjo-La Pass trek is a little off the beaten path. A journey to the fourth and fifth lakes in Gokyo Valley, where the vistas are spectacular, would be a bonus.

In the Nepalese Himalayas, the Ngozumpa Glacier is the largest. The Gokyo Ri (5330m) is widely regarded as the best vista in the Everest region. We cross the Chola-La pass (5420m) to reach Everest Base Camp after investigating this imaging location. We also have the option of hiking up to Kalapatthar (5550m) for a close glimpse of Mt. Everest and Everest Base Camp (5364m) to observe the Khumbu Icefall (about 3 hours from Gorakshep).

Of the three passes, Kongma- La Pass (5535m) is the highest. Of the three passes, Kongma- La Pass (5535m) is the highest. The views from the top of Kongma La are spectacular. Following the spectacular views from the Kongma-La, the trail descends to Dingboche, from where we can either go up to Chhukung – Island Peak or descend to Tengboche and continue our trip to Lukla.

The three-pass trek is classified as “challenging.” Given the high pass crossings, it’s a dangerous excursion. It is more difficult than its sister climbs, Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes, but not as difficult as trekking peaks like Island Peak and Mera Peak.
