Everest Three High Passes Trek Description

The Everest 3 High Passes Trek is one of the most adventurous treks in the world that takes you deep into the Everest region. You get to see what lies around Everest, how the geography elevates to give rise to the world's highest mountain.

The trekking is intense and provides a more detailed picture of the harsh terrain, cold climate, and constant human struggle in high altitudes.

Needless to say that Everest does not rise alone. In fact, several high mountains lie around the Everest vicinity - including Lhotse (8,516m), Ama Dablam (6,812m), Makalu (8,516m).

Everest Three High Passes Trek takes place in the Sagarmatha National Park region. Sagarmatha National Park covers an area of 1148 sq. Km.

This national park is home to 118 bird species, rare mammals like musk deer, snow leopard, red panda, and Himalayan black bear. The vegetation of this region is dwarf-sized, and plants stop growing at altitudes above 5,750m.

Your 17 days Everest High Pass Trek begins with a breathtaking 45-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,840m).

After the flight, you will be trekking to Phakding (2,610m), where we will be spending the night. The following morning, after crossing several suspension bridges over the fast-flowing white rivers, we will reach Namche Bazaar (3,440m).

Namche Bazaar is a perfect place for us to acclimate and is full of shops, restaurants, and internet cafes. We will also visit nearby monasteries, the chief among them is Khumjung Monastery. If you want to see the traditional Sherpa settlement, you can trek for an hour. While acclimatizing at Namche Bazaar, you also get a chance to get the first glances of Mt. Everest by hiking up to Everest View Hotel.

After a rest day at Namche, we continue our Three High Passes Trek by heading to Thame (3,750m). This is where our path separates from classic Everest Base Camp Trek, which continues to Tengboche. We follow the Bhote Koshi River to reach Thame. There is a small hydroelectric plant that comes before Thame.

We wake up at Thame and brace for another day of trek towards Lungden (4,500m). The paths are quite challenging, and you need to trek for about six hours to reach Lungden, where we will spend our night.

The next day will be exciting as well. We will leave Lungden behind and head for the Gokyo Lakes region. Somewhere in between Lungden and Gokyo lies Renjo La Pass (54,35m), the first among the three major passes we will cross. From Renjo La Pass, you can see amazing views of the Gokyo Lake system and many Himalayan Peaks - including Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8,481m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), and Ama Dablam (6,812m). We will stay at Gokyo for the night and spend the following day acclimatizing.

As we acclimatize in Gokyo, we will go to Gokyo Ri (5,483m) from where you can see four among the six highest mountains in the world - Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,516m), Makalu (8,485m), and Cho Oyu (8,188m). The scenes from the Gokyo Ri are probably the best in the Everest Region, and the sights are mind-blowing.

Next, we will continue our journey from Gokyo to Thagnak (4,700m), crossing Ngozumpa Glacier on the way. From the trails, in addition to awesome Himalayan terrains, you will also get a chance to see yak pastures, or if you are lucky yaks grazing on them.

The next day's destination is Dzongla (4,855m), and on the way lies Cho La Pass (5,420m). You will be walking through the Chola Pass, and it is the second major pass in this trek. This pass connects the Gokyo region and Everest region and serves as an Everest Viewpoint.

By crossing Cho La Pass, you have entered the Everest Region, and we will be heading towards Everest Base Camp, but we have to stop in two places - Lobuche (4,910m) and Gorak Shep (5,185m).

As we move forward from Dzongla to Lobuche, you will get to see the memorial statues of travelers who succumbed to the harsh conditions in this region.

The eleventh day of the trek is going to be extraordinary; you will wake up at Lobuche (4,930m) and head to Gorak Shep (5,185m).

You will have to walk for about eight hours to reach Gorak Shep, where you will leave your belongings and climb to Everest Base Camp (5,364m). It is a huge achievement. Despite the harsh terrain, high altitude, and challenging climate, you succeeded in reaching the Everest Base Camp. We do appreciate your effort and determination.

After spending time on EBC, we will descend to Gorak Shep and spend the night there. The following morning we will wake up at Gorak Shep and trek to Kala Patthar (5,555m), from where we can catch the heavenly sight of dawn breaking on Mt. Everest. We will soak in the incredible scenery and get back to Gorak Shep and descend to Lobuche to spend the night.

The following morning we will wake up at Lobuche and head to Chhukung (4,730m), and in between lies Kongma La Pass (5,535m) - the last of our three major passes. It is also the highest pass among the three passes and is challenging but remember that the more challenging a trek is - the more rewards you will be reaping. We will be spending the night at Chhukung for that day.

On our fourteenth day, we leave Chhukung behind and head to Tengboche (3,855m) and pass Dingboche and Pangboche on the way. From the trails, you get to see cultivated lands, surrounded by stones, so that the crops are safe from cold winds and wild animals. The path allows you to see some of the spectacular scenes of Amadablam (6856m), Everest (8848 m), Nuptse (7861m), and Lhotse (8501m). We will not forget to visit the famous Tengboche monastery as well.

Our trek is coming to an end, and the next day's trek will take us back to Namche Bazaar. The way is uneven and passes through dense forest, and if you are lucky, you will get a chance to see Himalayan pheasants, musk deer, mountain goats, or even snow leopards. We will be spending our night at Namche Bazaar.

On the last day of Everest Three High Passes Trek trails, we will be heading from Namche to Lukla. We return down to Dudh Koshi Valley, cross Hillary Suspension Bridge, and trek for about seven hours to reach Lukla. We will be staying in Lukla for the night. Your Everest Three High Passes Trek in the Everest region is almost over, and you are just a night away from returning to Kathmandu.

On your seventeenth day, in the morning, you will board a plane back to Kathmandu. You will have left the Everest region behind with fresh memories, new experiences, and perhaps a new way of thinking.

We strongly advise all our valuable clients to arrive in Kathmandu one day early (from your trip departure date), before 3 pm, for last-minute preparations. If, in case, you missed the online trip briefing, it will also provide us time to conduct an in-person briefing. We also recommend you allocate one or two days extra for the trip, in case, flights from Kathmandu to Lukla or from Lukla to Kathmandu get delayed due to bad weather.

Best Time to Trek Everest 3 High Passes

The weather is the most decisive factor for a successful Everest Base Camp trek through three high passes.

Though you can get a live forecast of the Everest Region here, we cannot be sure. However, locals and adventurers trek to Everest Base Camp throughout the year, but trekking is easy in certain seasons - mainly Spring and Autumn when the skies are clear and there is no rain. The magic of the clear azure sky allows you to enjoy the most spectacular vistas without fighting the cold during Spring and Autumn.

The trek gets challenging during winters and monsoon, but some trekkers are attracted to these challenges. Discovery World Trekking conducts 3 high passes treks throughout the year.

January to February

It is the coldest season - especially from early January to February, with heavy snowfall and cold temperatures, mainly at night. If you are allergic to colds, we advise you not to trek during these months.

Temperature: 15°C to -15°C

March to April

This is one of the best seasons for the Everest 3 High Passes Trek. During this time, you can see the stunning views of Himalayan ranges and glaciers. The Spring Season begins in March, the weather warms up, and suddenly the dormant flora and fauna become active. It is a busy trekking season.

Temperature: 18 °C to -12 °C

May to June

This is also the perfect time for trekking right before the rainfall. Nepal starts its rainfall from the end of June till mid-August. The season of spring and summer makes the trek much more enjoyable.

25°C to -5 °C

July to August

The rainfall hits its peak during this time at altitudes below 3500 meters. There are chances that the flights from and to Lukla may get canceled during this time. However, during this period, you will still find trekkers on the trails, and the rainfall provides spectacular views of the waterfall. The Everest 3 High Passes Trek gets a bit difficult but not impossible.

DWT conducts trek in this season too.

Temperature: 27°C to 5°C

September to October

This is also one of the perfect seasons for Everest 3 High Passes Trek. As the monsoon slowly ends, clear skies appear, and a favorable trekking climate sets in. The temperature goes up to 20 degrees in the daytime and falls to 5 degrees at night. If you are looking for an easy Everest 3 high passes trek, this is the season for you.

During these months, Hindus celebrate their biggest festivals, which allows you to immerse yourself in the festive environment.

Temperature: 20°C to 5°C

November to December

As winter slowly sets in, snowfalls begin in the Himalayas region, and it eventually gets tough to trek. Nights get very cold. But still, November is a busy season as trekkers take advantage of clear skies and sparkling days that allow amazing views of humongous mountains.

From December, the temperature starts to get cold, and heavy snowfall starts.

Temperature: 18°C to -10°C

Please note: The weather in the Himalayas is unpredictable, and the temperature may change quickly.

Acclimatization During 3 High Passes Trek

Altitude sickness is common to trekkers who try to rush their way to the Everest Base Camp. Therefore, we will be acclimatizing in two places - Namche and Gokyo.

Your health and safety are important to us, and we will take care of you like a family member. Altitude sickness may require immediate treatment.

If you are seriously affected, the only remedy is to descend immediately. In such cases, your group leader has the authority to decide whether to continue to trek forward or descend immediately.

Trip Grade: Fitness Level, and Health

The Everest Three High Passes Trek is challenging but rewarding. The hiking will last from 5 to 7 hours a day, depending upon the destination, and we will be taking regular breaks to admire the mountain views.

The trek routes involve long climbs, steep descents, and a steep forward trail in the rocky paths and forests. So, the fitter you are, the more comfortable and enjoyable the journey will be.

If you have experience or enjoy trekking, this may be an advantage for you but not required. We do not recommend this trek to those who suffer from serious medical conditions like heart or lung diseases.

Trekking in Group/Single

We organize groups as well as private treks. Group discounts are available based on your team size. The bigger your team is, the more discount you will get. Please view our price list for details. Just click on the - We offer group discount -on your right.

However, if Discovery World Trekking assembles the group, you will not be eligible for discounts. We can handle all group sizes. Your group will consist of a group leader, a porter for every two trekkers, and an assistant guide for a group of 12 or more.

A typical day on Everest 3 passes trek

Almost daily, you will experience trekking on the fantastic trails, explore new places, enjoy the sceneries, take pictures, and see traditional settlements.

Throughout your trek, our experienced and friendly Sherpa guides will accompany you. They will share information and historical facts about the places you will be visiting.

The porters will carry your luggage. We recommend you to carry a small bag for your valuables and important documents.

The day starts with an early breakfast. Then we will pack our bags and set off on that day’s trek at around 7 AM to 8 AM, depending on trek duration and nature. After trekking for three to four hours, you will have lunch, rest for about an hour, and continue the trek.

The afternoon walk is generally shorter - about two to three hours. Once we reach our overnight lodge/tea house/tent, we snack on the extra dietary food, then explore nearby places.

You will have dinner between 6 PM to 7 PM. After dinner, you can indulge in friendly conversations with your team members. Your expedition leader/guide will brief you about the next day’s plan. After this briefing, and before going to bed, you have time to enjoy onboard games like monopoly, and cards, or watch available mountaineering documentaries. Most foreigners choose to learn some common Nepali words.

Communication during the Everest 3 High Passes Trek

On the Everest 3 High Pass Trek, you can use the internet in the lodges we will be staying in for a small charge. However, at high altitudes, we use phones for safety purposes.

Discovery World Trekking will be in contact with all the trekking teams through trek leaders at least once a day. Depending on the network, you might get phone signals, but they may not be strong enough. However, you have the option to buy a local sim card in Kathmandu.

You can use Wi-Fi in the lodges/hotels you will be staying in for a small charge.

Extra personal expenses during the Everest 3 High Passes Trek

Meals and accommodations in Kathmandu are up to our clients themselves. Kathmandu has all kinds of hotels/lodges (both luxury & budget) that you can book easily online.

All our valuable clients will have to bring personal spending money to cover meals and accommodation costs in Kathmandu, visa fees, and travel insurance policy purchases. While on the trek, you will require money for beverages, snacks, hot (tea, coffee) and cold drinks, souvenirs, and tipping crew.

We recommend bringing cash (dollars), which you can change to Rupees in Kathmandu. The trekking regions only honor Nepali Rupees.

Electricity for recharge, water on the trek

Throughout the Everest region lodges, you can recharge your camera and mobile. However, you need to pay for the service.

You can either buy packed mineral water from local lodges and en-route shops or fill your bottle with boiled water at an extra cost. DWT provides water purification pills if you need them.

You shouldn't drink water from the river, tap, well up there cause it might not be drinkable as it seems.

Travel insurance for Everest 3 Passes Trek

3 Passes Everest Trek in Nepal is quite challenging as it entails the risk of high altitude trekking, potential altitude sickness, and other unforeseen events - including sudden climate changes.

Travel insurance forms a part of our booking condition for The Everest 3 High Pass Trek. All trekkers must provide a copy of their comprehensive travel insurance policy to Discovery World Trekking. The policy must cover medical and emergency repatriation - including helicopter rescue and evacuation expenses at high altitudes (up to 6000m).

We can recommend insurance companies to help you based on our previous clients' experiences, but we do not sell insurance policies.

We request our clients to send their detailed insurance information once they book the trekking. In case of emergencies, we will be using the insurance policy and informational documents you sent us. It will help us arrange a quick and effective rescue operation, transfer for emergency medical help, etc. Please ensure that your insurance policy includes the cost incurred for mountain rescue services at the highest elevation of the trekking.

Before buying travel insurance, make sure you call them and recheck if they have helicopter rescue and evacuation up to 6000m. Do not just believe what insurance companies have on their website

Nepal Tourist Visa Info

All foreigners, except Indians, require a visa to enter Nepal. You can get an on-arrival Visa at the Tribhuvan International Airport.

The visa application will require a passport valid for at least six months and a passport-size photo. The current visa fee is USD 50 for 30 days, which you need to pay on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport.

Chinese and SAARC citizens will receive a free visa. Citizens from some countries - including Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Cameroon, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Palestine, and Afghanistan, may not receive an arrival visa. So citizens from these countries will have to contact their local Nepalese embassy.

You can find more information about visas at https://www.immigration.gov.np/

Money Exchange

Nepali Rupees (NPR/Rs) is the local currency.
(1 USD = ~ Rs.120 NPR)

You can exchange most major foreign currencies through local banks and legitimate money exchanges in Kathmandu and all over Thamel.

Legal money exchanges display their ongoing exchange rate visibly for the public.
Please be aware that you can only use INR (Indian Rupees) 100 and INR 2000 notes in Nepal.

Discovery World Trekking prefers cash exchange to avoid hassles like a lengthy process and a high rate of commission at the banks. You can withdraw cash (in Rupees only) from ATMs in Kathmandu and Thamel, itself. Many ATMs are open around the clock. The maximum withdrawal amount is 35,000 Rupees for a 500 Rupees processing fee if you use your foreign card.

If you use banks or financial institutions for money exchange, they will charge a service fee of about 4% or more.

The trekking regions have no banks and money exchange services, so you should exchange your money in Kathmandu -depending on how much personal expense you require. In the Himalayan regions, people only accept Nepalese currency.

Most established banks in Asia do not accept old, torn, or faded foreign currency notes. Please ensure that you have new, clean notes.

How Much Luggage can I take during Everest High 3 Passes Trek?

The weight limit is 9 kg per trekker. One porter will carry two trekkers' luggage. We do not allow our porters to carry more than 18 kg. If you want to bring more luggage, we can arrange an extra porter. We expect trekkers to carry a regular backpack for their valuables and essential documents. You can store excess luggage at the Discovery World Trekking store for free.

We will recheck gear, equipment, and essentials, before starting the trek.
