The Everest Three High Passes Trek is one of Nepal’s most challenging high-altitude adventures. It takes trekkers across three formidable Himalayan passes: Renjo La (5,360 m), Cho La (5,420 m), and Kongma La (5,535 m), combining the classic Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes routes.
The demanding yet profoundly rewarding 21-day Everest Three High Passes Trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Manthali, followed by a thrilling flight into the dramatic mountain airstrip at Lukla. From there, the journey unfolds gradually as you ascend through glacier-carved valleys, traverse swaying suspension bridges over roaring glacial rivers, and climb through enchanting rhododendron and pine forests, each step bringing you deeper into the heart of the Himalayas.
Trekkers will embark on a route that combines the Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes, and all three high mountain passes into one epic and unforgettable journey. Along the way, you will be immersed in authentic Sherpa culture and warm hospitality in traditional villages, such as Namche Bazaar and Thame. You will have the chance to explore ancient Buddhist monasteries, including the iconic Tengboche Monastery, and witness awe-inspiring Himalayan panoramas featuring Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu, four of the world’s six highest mountains.
Due to its high-altitude passes and daily trekking durations of 5 to 8 hours, the Everest Three High Passes Trek demands good physical fitness, mental endurance, and a thoughtful acclimatization plan. Rest and acclimatization days are strategically included in Namche Bazaar, Thame, and the Gokyo Valley to support this.
The Everest Three High Passes Trek is the ultimate bucket-list adventure, crafted for experienced hikers seeking breathtaking views, remote trails, and an actual test of endurance in the heart of the Khumbu region.
