Overview

The Everest Three Passes Trek is a challenging and rewarding journey through the Everest region of Nepal. This path is designed to provide trekkers with a more comprehensive Himalayan trip, as it is an extension of the regular Everest route and leads you through three high mountain passes and some of the most scenic places in the Khumbu Valley. You will pass by the traditional Sherpa villages, cross suspension bridges, walk along glacial valleys and experience the ever-changing mountainous views along the way. This adventure starts with a flight to Lukla and a trail that goes through Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche and Chhukung. The path also slowly ascends in altitude and the trekkers are able to enjoy the variety of landscapes and culture in the Everest region. Significant acclimatization helps your body to adapt to the thinner air as you rise more into the mountains. The trip will involve crossings of Kongma La Pass, Cho La Pass and Renjo La Pass that have different experiences and a feeling of pride. To most trekkers, the climax of the Everest Three Passes Trek with Everest Base Camp is the fact that they would have reached the base of the tallest mountain in the world. The pathway ends at Everest Base Camp (5,364 m / 17,598 ft), where you may stand next to the well-known Khumbu Glacier and see the spectacular Khumbu Icefall. The early morning hike to Kalapatthar (5,545 m / 18,192 ft), one of the best views of Mount Everest and the additional mountains, is another experience that one will not forget. Another dimension to the journey is the beautiful Gokyo Valley, which is part of the route. The Everest Three Passes and Gokyo Lakes Trek will take you to the Gokyo Lakes of turquoise Gokyo Ri and Gokyo Ri (5,357 m / 17,575 ft). The panoramic views of the Himalayas can be seen on the horizon at the summit, with some of the mountains being above 8,000 meters. These scenic sites transform the trek into more than just an trek to the Everest Base Camp. The trek is ideal for physically fit travelers with prior hiking experience and willing to spend days walking long distances and at high altitudes. The mix of mountain passes, untamed valleys, cultural experiences and renowned viewpoints makes it an experience to remember. Third Eye Adventure enables the trekkers to explore this wonderful region with ease and safety with proper planning, expert guidance, and dependable support along the way.
