About Trip
Intrepidity and Extreme Physical Endurance are synonym words for Sherpa people of Nepal. The trail which is just a walk in a park for such brave mountain people to walk by ordinary trekkers is really something. It would go down on the history book of own travel tale as the most challenging and adventurous wilderness holiday ever. Everest 3 Passes Trekking is an awesome adventure of crossing three high passes of Khumbu (Chola, Renjo La and Kong Ma La) including the iconic journey of Everest Base Camp. Search Treks & Expeditions is run by the experienced trekking guides who have been walking in these trails for more than 10 years as porters, guides and Sherpa.
The adventure is optimum and thrill is exclusive. From the trail to EBC to the village of famous Everest Summiteers (Tenzing Norgay and Appa Sherpa) Everest 3 Passes Trekking takes trekkers to alluring valley of Gokyo and mystical Chhukung. In one sentence if you want to know the caliber of this trekking then it can be termed as the Khumbu Circuit Trek. It covers almost all regions of mainland Everest region trekking excluding Makalu area and Rolwaling area. However, from one of the high passes or from the trail itself presents beautiful view of Makalu Mountain and Rolwaling area. Journey is similar to Everest Base Camp Trekking but it differs after acclimatization in Namche bazaar. Trekkers will take route of Thame Village and Lumde to cross Renjo La. Thame is the village of famous Everest summiteers Tenzing Norgay and Appa Sherpa. From this village onwards trekkers trek to top of Renjo La via Lumde. After alluring Gokyo Valley exploration trekkers will cross another pass i.e. Chola Pass. Trekkers will trek up to Everest Base Camp before returning back to Lobuche for another pass crossing. Kong Ma La Pass is the last high altitude pass that trekkers cross and reach the Chhukung Valley. Finally the trail gets re-connected to EBC route to Tengboche, Namche and finally to Lukla.

Everest can be seen on this day. Once we reach Namche Bazaar you can stroll around this marketplace of Khumbu region mainly habituated by Sherpa people.
- Day 05Acclimatization day at Namche. We have to do acclimatization if we want to avoid altitude sickness and this really imparts great scenery on your mind as well. We will hike to Everest View Hotel. The scenes of Mt. Everest, Amadablam, Lhotse, Tabuche, Nuptse and Others are spectacular. We will return back to Namche for overnight.
- Day 06Namche to thame We will walk uphill for about half an hour and then we will continue descending to Thame. This is not very treacherous day of walking. We can see various Himalayas on alternative side of Khumbu including the Amphu Lapcha Pass area. This is very large village in this area of Khumbu and is famous for being the village of Tenzing Norgay and Apa Sherpa.
- Day 07Thame to Lumde We trek through trail barren Himalayan rugged landscape. Rocky peaks and scattered houses are usual sight before reaching Lumde. Some trekkers can easily reach Gokyo via Renjo La Pass but we recommend staying in Lumde as it gives us enough time to cross the Renjo La enjoying the Himalayan panorama.
- Day 08Lumde to Renjo la Pass Gokyo We will cross the Renjo la towards beautiful blue turquoise lake valley of Gokyo. From top of Renjo La one can see Choyou, Makalu, Cholatse, Pumori, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and many more mountains. The sight of Gokyo Valley is also equally mesmerizing and your camera might not get any rest. However, walk carefully as the trail is rocky and rugged.
- Day 09Gokyo to Dragnag From Gokyo we will walk comfortably through Nogzumpa Glacier to reach the Dragnag. Three high passes trekking requires many days of walking therefore our travel planners have formed this detailed camping route. It is very best for mind and body of trekkers to get enough rest before crossing the high passes.
- Day 10Chola Pass to Dzongla We will cross the most popular and scenic high altitude pass of Chola. The trail might be covered by snow but depending on season the top of Chola might be dry. Get glimpses of outstanding Himalayas from top. Take pictures and memories of your outstanding victory over the Chola Pass. We will descend to Dzongla for overnight.
- Day 11Dzongla to Lobuche We will walk gently gazing at Pheriche Valley and towards small hamlet Lobuche on the bank of small stream. We will take a look from distant at Kong ma La Pass which we will cross after reaching the Everest Base Camp from Lobuche.
- Day 12Lobuche to Goraksheep The journey from Lobuche to Gorakshep is through moraines beside Khumbu glacier. Once we are at Gorakshep we will check in to the teahouse and keep our bags. After brief stop we will set out to Everest Base Camp. About 2 hours of walking we can reach our final destination. This is the most important day of our trekking. Capture as much memories as possible. We will again return back to Gorakshep for overnight.
- Day 13Goraksheep to Lobuche We will continue our journey of Everest Three High Passes from Gorakshep to Lobuche. The journey is just about 2-3 hours. We will rest and relax in Lobuche preparing for daunting crossing of Kong Ma La Pass.
- Day 14Lobuche to Chhukhung over the kongmala Pass (Chhukhung ) We will cross the small stream and head to Kong Ma la Pass. The trail is very narrow and we should be very careful of falling stones or some crevasses. Among three high altitude passes of Everest region this is considered as the most challenging one. On the other side of the pass we will reach the Chhukung Valley. The sight of Island Peak and Amadablam Peak looks absolutely stunning.
- Day 15Chukhung to Dingboche After breakfast we will descend slowly to Dingboche observing various facets of people, mountains and surrounding landscape.
- Day 16Dingboche to Tengboche From Dingboche we will trek past Pangboche and Debuche to reach Tengboche. The trail is very easy and inclined descending. From Debuche we have to walk uphill for about 40 minutes to reach the spiritual place of Khumbu the Tengboche Monastery. Stroll around the monastery in evening. The sight of Dudhkoshi Valley and Pangboche Valley as seen from Tengboche with Mt. Amadablam on the backdrop is really an alluring prospect to capture.
- Day 17Tengboche to Namche From Tengboche we will descend down to Phui Thanga through green lush forests and then take uphill walking all the way up to Kyangjuma. From this place we walk through the comfortable flat track and descend downto Namche Bazaar.
- Day 18Namche to Lukla We will descend and trek along the Dudhkoshi River to Lukla via Phakding. The journey is really joyous as we can enjoy small party in Lukla with fellow trekkers and crew members.
