Overview

“Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.” - Dag Hammarskjold

 About Trip 
Everes
t Three High Passes Trek  is one of Nepal's most difficult. Renjo La (5360 meters), Cho La (5368 meters), and Kongma La are among the passes (5330m). The trail will be quiet and tranquil because none of these passes are part of the Everest Base Camp Trek. By way of Gokyo Valley and Everest Base Camp, the trek crosses via the passes. You'll also be able to climb three peaks: Gokyo Ri (5360m), Kala Pattar (5540m), and Chukkung Ri (5600m) (5550m). The Everest region journey is unquestionably the most comprehensive.

Everest Three Passes Trek .begins at Lukla and continues above the Dudh Koshi River, going through Sherpa settlements and farmland. Phakding is not far away. Sagarmatha National Park is entered in Jorsalle. We appreciate the breathtaking views of the Everest peaks and the surrounding high alpine, lonely landscapes as we travel to Namche Bazaar. We learn about the Sherpa people's way of life while hiking around Khumjung village. The Sherpa people are known all over the world for inhabiting this mountainous region. The journey to the jaw-dropping Gokyo Valley passes through Thame and climbs the first Himalayan peak, Renjo La (5360m).  We hike to the Gokyo Ri to acclimate and see more views of the lakes, glaciers, icefalls, and white peaks, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and others. The trail then goes to Cho La Pass (5330m), which is the most difficult of the three passes. The terrain is steep and slick, which makes it enjoyable and amusing while also posing a risk. It's possible that you'll need to use the climbing gear. You hike down to Lobuche via Everest Base Camp and ultimately cross the highest pass, Khongma La. (5535m). Then you trek back down to Lukla.

  • Day 05:Namche Bazaar Acclimatization Day Altitude: (3,440m) 11,283ft (3 hours).There are plenty of things to do around Namche Bazaar, we wake up to another spectacular morning and view from our room and sun rose of the breathtaking mountains. Let us make you clear something up that is a big misunderstanding about the Acclimatization day. Acclimatization day is not a rest day, it is something completely different so don’t think that after the huge climb of getting into Namche Bazaar you’ll spend today lazing around the lodges or shopping in local stores. Our team will take you to explore the real charm of Namche Bazaar. So after breakfast, we will start the gentle hike up to Everest view hotel (3780M) 12,401.57ft where we can see the views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde and so on.

  • Day 07:Thame Trek to Lungden 4,380 M (14,370 ft) Distance: (4-5 hours). We will not find many more until we arrive at Gokyo, as Thame tends to be the limit of exploration for most people. So, the high valley beyond the village remains the simple domain of yaks, farming and Sherpas. Today we walk-by some very old, authentic Himalayan Villages that blend almost invisibly into the landscape. We eventually reach the small village of Lungden for the night.  
     
  • Day 08:Lungden - Renjo La Pass 5400 M (17,717 ft) to Gokyo (4790m).We follow a very scenic path to Pangka and then descend slightly, to the riverbank before climbing onto the terminal moraine of the Ngazumpa Glacier on a steep trail. We climb a steep rocky incline into the valley by the side of the glacier, passing the first of the holy lakes. We get a chance to observe llama footprints on a stone. We soon arrive at the second lakes, crossing the path which heads across the glacier to Cho La our route to Lobuche and Everest, later in the trek. Taboche Tsho, we become mesmerized by the shimmering turquoise blue sheet of water sparkling in the sun. The third lake is known as Dudh Pokhari and on its eastern shore is the settlement of Gokyo. Walking by the side of the lake, the scenery is breathtaking with the summits of Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang reflected in its emerald green waters.

The Cho La pass is not itself difficult, but it is steep and involves a glacier and we need to be careful. The trail from Phedi climbs through a ravine and a rocky trail. While trekking through the side of a frozen lake, we reach the top of the pass decorated with prayer flags.
