Nepal offers more than just the majestic Himalayas. The Everest Base Camp with Three Passes Trek is a challenging adventure that focuses on three snowy passes: Kongma La (5535m), Renjo La (5360m), and Cho La (5420m). Along the way, you’ll marvel at breathtaking sights like Ama Dablam (6856m), Lhotse (8414m), and Mount Everest (8848m), as well as the endless blue horizon.
The journey begins with a visit to the cultural sites of the Kathmandu Valley, designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Then, we take a short flight to Lukla and start trekking to Phakding. Passing through green landscapes and icy terrain, we reach the Sherpa settlement of Namche Bazaar. From there, we head to the Tengboche Monastery in Tengboche village.
Continuing along the Imja River trail, we reach Dingboche and then Chhukung. Trekking on the Nuptse glacier moraines, we conquer the Kongma La Pass (5535m) and enjoy stunning mountain views. Next, we head to Everest Base Camp via Gorakshep, where we witness breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from Kalapatthar.
Descending towards Dzongla, we then make our way to the Gokyo Lakes. Crossing the Cho La Pass (5420m) filled with Chortens, we reach the lakes and hike to Gokyo Ri (5360m) for rejuvenating views. Crossing Dudh Pokhari, we head to Renjo La Pass (5360m), then to Lumde, and finally back to Namche Bazaar. Trekking through lush forests, we return to Lukla and take a scenic flight back to Kathmandu, concluding our trip.
