The Everest Three Passes Trek is one of the highest levels of trekking adventures in the Everest Region. Get ready to push your limits in this circuit trek that demands a high level of fitness and acclimatization. While you traverse the high passes around Everest, namely the Renjo La (5,360m), Cho La (5,420m) and Kongma La (5,535m), you also set foot on the Everest Base Camp. Furthermore, the best views of the Himalayas are reserved for you at the summit of the trekking peaks – Gokyo Ri (5,360m), Kalapatthar (5,545m) and Chukkung Ri (5,550m). It is the ultimate Everest adventure that takes the classic Everest Base Camp Trek to a whole new level.
This demanding trek rewards you with the best sights of the Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Amadablam, Thamserku and other lesser-known mountains that are sure to evoke admiration – Kusum Kanguru, Pumori, Cholatse, Khantega, Lobuche, to name a few. A major section of this trek is less frequented and lets you be in pure harmony with a different face of nature in the world's natural heritage site of the Sagarmatha National Park. Additionally, you get a contrast of two Sherpa worlds at Gokyo and Namche.
