Everest Three Passes Trek

Lukla Airport

The Three Passes Trek offers the ultimate Everest Experience, encompassing breathtaking mountain views and rich Sherpa culture. This challenging route combines all the highlights of the Everest region into one unforgettable journey. It includes three high passes: Renjo La (5370m), Cho La (5420m) and Kongma La (5545m).

The Trek begins in Lukla, following the Dudh Koshi Valley to Namche Bazaar, the central trading hub of the Everest region, where trekkers, locals and expedition teams converge. Following the classic Everest Base Camp trail to Dingboche, the route leads to Chhukung and then to Lobuche via the first pass, Kongma La (5545m). After witnessing the grandeur of Mt. Everest from Kalapatthar, the trek descends to Dzongla (4830m), then heads to Thangnak (4680m) via the second pass, Cho La (5420m), continuing all the way to Gokyo (4790m). An excursion to the fourth and fifth lakes is an added attraction in the Gokyo Valley. Gokyo Ri is renowned as the best viewpoint in the entire Everest region, while Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest in the Nepalese Himalayas, is another highlight.

Finally, the trek ascends to Lungde (5200m) via the third pass, Renjo La (5345m), before returning to Lukla, the starting point of the trip. Along the way, trekkers will encounter friendly locals, mesmerizing scenery, picturesque villages, a wide variety of flora and fauna, vibrant festivals, and beautiful monasteries that will leave a lasting impression.
