Everest 3 High Pass Trekking

Start & end in Kathmandu 20 days Up to 9

About this trip

This is a demanding 20-day trek through the full Khumbu region, crossing all three high passes — Renjo La, Cho La and Kongma La — as well as reaching Everest Base Camp. It's built for trekkers who want more than the standard Base Camp route and are ready for long days above 5,000m.

The trail takes you through the Gokyo Valley with its string of glacial lakes, up to Gokyo Ri for views of Everest, Makalu and Ama Dablam, then across Cho La to Base Camp and Kala Patthar for a close-up look at Everest itself. From there you cross Kongma La and wind down through Pheriche, Dingboche and Tengboche before flying out from Lukla.

Along the way you pass through Sagarmatha National Park and villages that mix daily Sherpa life with Buddhist monasteries, giving the trek a rhythm beyond just the high-altitude pushes.

What you'll do

  • Cross the three high passes: Renjo La, Cho La and Kongma La
  • Walk the Gokyo Valley and its chain of glacial lakes
  • Reach Everest Base Camp and climb Kala Patthar for close views of Everest
  • See Cho Oyu, Makalu and Ama Dablam from Gokyo Ri
  • Visit the Buddhist monastery at Tengboche
  • Fly between Lukla and Kathmandu
Good to know
  • A serious high-altitude trek — three passes over 5,300m plus Base Camp and Kala Patthar demand a good level of fitness and prior trekking experience
  • Long trekking days with sustained time above 5,000m, so proper acclimatisation matters
  • Suited to trekkers wanting the full Khumbu circuit rather than a shorter Base Camp trip
