The Everest Three Pass Trek is one of the most adventurous and challenging treks you can embark on in the Everest region.
A perfect 18-day journey for those seeking a thrilling and diverse experience in the Himalayas, this Everest trek takes you through three high mountain passes: Cho La Pass, Renjo La Pass, and Kongma La Pass.
All offer breathtaking views of Mount Everest and several other peaks like Lhotse and Nuptse; this trek is an opportunity to experience the thrill like never before while witnessing the magnificence of the world's highest mountains up close.
The trek begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and then takes you to renowned destinations like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, Dingboche, and Gokyo, each offering its exceptional beauty and cultural richness.
As the trek's highest point is Cho La Pass standing at an elevation of 5,420 meters, and Kala Patthar at 5644m, the Everest three-pass trek can be considered one of the most challenging trekking journeys.
The passes are known for their steep ascents, rocky trails, and icy conditions, making it even more nerve-wracking for the trekkers. Except for the three high passes, the trek takes you to the base camp of Mount Everest, along with the highest vantage point of the region, Kala Patthar.
Furthermore, hiking to Gokyo Ri provides outstanding panoramic views of the Everest region and mystical Gokyo Lakes.
The Everest three-pass trekking is a journey that tests your physical and mental strength and rewards you with the region's incredible natural beauty.
