Overview

Everest Three Passes Trek

Everest Three Passes Trek is an Ideal of Nepal's high Himalayan journey through three of the highest passes in the world. It is reflected as one of the most challenging treks in Nepal, and this trek offers a supreme practice in the heart of the Nepal Himalayas. It is an alternative trek to the EBC trek. The Everest Three Passes Trek is an adventurous, high-altitude trek in the Everest region of Nepal. It takes trekkers through the three high-altitude passes of the Himalayas - Kongma La (5535 m), Cho La (5420 m), and Renjo La (5345 m).

The trek starts from Lukla after a 35-minute flight from Kathmandu. The trail ascends to Namche Bazaar and then onto Thame, the birthplace of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. Trekkers can take in stunning views of the Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest (8848 m), Lhotse (8516 m), Cho Oyu (8188 m), and Nuptse (7879 m).

The trek continues to Gokyo and onwards to the high-altitude passes of Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La. During the trek, trekkers can witness some of the most beautiful Himalayan landscapes such as the Ngozumpa Glacier, Dudh Kunda Lake, and the Gokyo Valley. The trek will also take you through some of the world's highest villages, such as Gokyo and Thame in the Everest Region.

However, Gokyo and Thame villages offer a unique type of people’s stay, their lives, and culture. Everest Trek is situated in the  Khumbu Valley, which is strenuous and requires good fitness and acclimatization.

Along the way, you will also meet many friendly Sherpa People who will guide you through the passes and help you reach your destination. Everest Three Passes Trek is an ideal trek for those looking for an adventure into the Himalayan wilderness.

Three Pass Trekking Route.

Everest's three-pass trek route begins in Lukla, where you will acclimate for a few days before heading up to Namche Bazaar, the gateway of Mount Everest and the Khumbu Valley. From there, you will follow the traditional route, trekking through the beautiful Sherpa villages of Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche. You will also be able to visit the famous Tengboche Monastery and Everest Base Camp.

The toughest part of the trek is the crossing of the three passes. The Kongma La pass is the highest of the three, and also the most difficult to traverse. The Cho La pass is the second highest, and the Renjo La pass is the third. Both passes require a bit of scrambling, but the views from the top are equally impressive.

Once you have crossed all three passes, you will make your way back down to Lukla for a well-deserved rest. Everest Three Passes Trek is a challenging but rewarding journey. It is a great way to explore the majestic Khumbu region and get a glimpse of the world’s highest mountains.

Best Season

The best season for the Everest Three Pass Trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November); during these times, the weather is generally dry and sunny with clear views of the mountain peaks. The risk of altitude sickness is also lower during these months, as warmer temperatures mean the air is less dense.

The summer months (June to August) are usually wet, making the trails muddy and slippery but still, you can do some Short treks to Everest, Annapurna base camp, Ghorepani poon hill, And day hikes around Kathmandu and Pokhara. This can make the trek difficult and dangerous, and it is best avoided during this time.

Similarly, in winter December to February, it is freezing and the temperature can drop below zero degrees. The trails may also be covered in snow, making walking much more difficult.

Overall, the best time to do the Everest Three Passes Trek is spring and autumn. During these months, temperatures are more comfortable, and the trails are generally dry and clear.

Difficulty

The Everest Three Passes trek is not for the faint of heart, as it involves high altitudes, long days of walking, and sometimes grueling ascents and descents. The Three Pass trek is a mentally challenging trek that requires a good level of fitness and the capacity to handle dangerous situations in the Nepal Himalayas.

The first few days involve walking through the Dudh Kosi Valley, which is known as Khumbu Valley, and heading to Khumbu Glacier and passing quaint villages and terraced fields. As the altitude increases, the landscape changes to that of alpine meadows and rocky terrain.

Trekking can become increasingly difficult as the days progress due to the altitude, terrain, and weather. The three passes are the highlight of the trek, offering stunning views of Everest and the surrounding peaks. However, this trek is not to be taken lightly. Passes can be quite treacherous.

Best high passes(three pass) trek to everest!!!

This trek to Everest Three Passes via Adventure A One Treks in Spring 2022 was an incredible experience that I will never forget. Ajeeb Bhatta, the owner of the company, was a tremendous help throughout our planning, and provided us with expert guidance and tips to make our experience enjoyable and worry-free. The guide was also extremely knowledgeable about the area, and was able to answer all of our questions about the history and culture of the region. Additionally, the accommodation, food and service provided by the team were of the highest quality, and ensured that we were comfortable throughout the whole trip. Overall, I'm incredibly grateful for Ajeeb's expert guidance throughout our trip, and for helping to make our experience a wonderful one. I would rate this trek 5 stars for its unrivalled beauty and satisfaction.
