The Everest Three Pass trek combines the three high passes of the Everest Region into one unforgettable adventure. This trek begins early in the morning with a flight from Kathmandu to the mountain airstrip of Lukla. After the flight, 3 hour walk to Phakding is necessary. Over the next three weeks, you will continue north up to Dudh Kosi Valley to Namche Bazaar and towards the Everest high passes of Khongma-la Pass, Cho-la Pass, and Renjo-la Pass.
The Everest three passes trek is one of the most iconic trekkings in Nepal. Three massifs combine to form the spectacular displays of high passes in one of the most scenically stunning areas of the Everest region. The trek takes you thru the remote Bhote Kosi valley and lots of friendly Sherpa villages. The Everest High Pass trek provides fantastic views of well-known 7,000m to 8,848m peaks and takes you to regions with only a few Western trekkers. It is within our grasp to realize the superb classic objectives of ascending the summits of Kala Patthar for unrivalled views of Everest, and Gokyo Ri, offering panoramic views of Cho Oyu, Everest, Makalu, Cholatse, and lots more Himalayan giants. It is often really the last word for the high-altitude trek and one of the most exclusive mountain journeys to undertake in your lifetime.
