Highlights
Overview
The Everest Three High Passes Trek, also known as the Everest High Passes Trek, is a challenging and unforgettable high-altitude journey designed for experienced trekkers seeking a complete Everest region experience. This trek crosses three iconic Himalayan passes—Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,340m)—offering panoramic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, making it one of the most spectacular trekking routes in Nepal.
The adventure begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, landing at one of the world’s most dramatic mountain airports. From Lukla, trekkers follow the classic Everest trail through Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, winding through dense pine forests, crossing suspension bridges over glacial rivers, and passing traditional Sherpa villages. Key stops such as Namche Bazaar provide essential acclimatization and incredible Himalayan vistas. Travelers looking for a slightly shorter itinerary may also consider the Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return – 11 Days for a quicker yet equally scenic experience.
Along the route, trekkers experience rich Sherpa culture and visit important landmarks like Tengboche Monastery, while navigating remote alpine terrain, glaciers, and high valleys. The three high passes challenge endurance and fitness but reward trekkers with breathtaking mountain scenery and a profound sense of accomplishment. Adventurers who wish to enjoy upgraded comfort can explore the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek – 14 Days, combining the classic Everest trail with premium lodging and amenities.
Trekkers can enjoy close-up views of Mount Everest from Kalapathar and sweeping panoramas of multiple Himalayan giants from Gokyo Ri, while the serene Gokyo Lakes region adds a touch of tranquil beauty with its turquoise waters framed by towering peaks. For those wanting the full experience of both Everest Base Camp and the Gokyo Lakes, the Everest Base Camp with Gokyo Lakes Trek – 17 Days offers an extended adventure that blends the best of both routes.
The trek offers a deep cultural immersion, passing through Sherpa villages such as Thame, Gokyo, and Lungden, where travelers can witness Buddhist rituals, spin prayer wheels, and experience centuries-old mountain traditions. Accommodation is provided in local tea houses, offering cozy rooms, nourishing meals, and authentic Sherpa hospitality.

Highlights
Overview
The Everest Three High Passes Trek, also known as the Everest High Passes Trek, is a challenging and unforgettable high-altitude journey designed for experienced trekkers seeking a complete Everest region experience. This trek crosses three iconic Himalayan passes—Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,340m)—offering panoramic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, making it one of the most spectacular trekking routes in Nepal.
The adventure begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, landing at one of the world’s most dramatic mountain airports. From Lukla, trekkers follow the classic Everest trail through Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, winding through dense pine forests, crossing suspension bridges over glacial rivers, and passing traditional Sherpa villages. Key stops such as Namche Bazaar provide essential acclimatization and incredible Himalayan vistas. Travelers looking for a slightly shorter itinerary may also consider the Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return – 11 Days for a quicker yet equally scenic experience.
Along the route, trekkers experience rich Sherpa culture and visit important landmarks like Tengboche Monastery, while navigating remote alpine terrain, glaciers, and high valleys. The three high passes challenge endurance and fitness but reward trekkers with breathtaking mountain scenery and a profound sense of accomplishment. Adventurers who wish to enjoy upgraded comfort can explore the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek – 14 Days, combining the classic Everest trail with premium lodging and amenities.
Trekkers can enjoy close-up views of Mount Everest from Kalapathar and sweeping panoramas of multiple Himalayan giants from Gokyo Ri, while the serene Gokyo Lakes region adds a touch of tranquil beauty with its turquoise waters framed by towering peaks. For those wanting the full experience of both Everest Base Camp and the Gokyo Lakes, the Everest Base Camp with Gokyo Lakes Trek – 17 Days offers an extended adventure that blends the best of both routes.
The trek offers a deep cultural immersion, passing through Sherpa villages such as Thame, Gokyo, and Lungden, where travelers can witness Buddhist rituals, spin prayer wheels, and experience centuries-old mountain traditions. Accommodation is provided in local tea houses, offering cozy rooms, nourishing meals, and authentic Sherpa hospitality.

Expert guides, well-planned itineraries, and thoughtfully paced trekking days help minimize altitude risks while maximizing the enjoyment of the Himalayan adventure.

After breakfast in Lukla, enjoy a scenic 10–15-minute morning flight to Ramechap (Manthali Airport). During the peak trekking months of October, November, March, and April, direct flights to Kathmandu are limited, making this route the safest and most reliable option.
Upon arrival at Ramechap, our professional team provides a comfortable drive to Kathmandu (approximately 4–5 hours), passing through picturesque hills, terraced fields, rivers, and traditional Nepali villages. Reach Kathmandu by late afternoon or early evening, check into your hotel, and unwind with a well-deserved evening of rest after your Everest region trek.
Note: Flights from Lukla can be delayed or canceled due to weather; we recommend extra buffer days at the end of the trek.

Absolute recommendation
9th August, 2022
Would totally recommend Ram and our tour guide Bakktha to everyone. We did the three passes trek in the Everest region and it could not have been a better experience.
Organization was super smooth with Ram, and you could feel that he really tries to make this a grwat experience for you. For example, when stuck in Lukla due to weather conditions, Ram (and our guide Bakktha) really tried everything in their hands to get us back to Kathmandu fast and spent the whole day basically on the phone. Successful, in the end, and I believe we would have been stuck for another 2-3 days if it was not for them :)
Bakktha was a very kind and helpful guide that enriched our trek with grst organization and a lot of interesting information on the region. And he loves to play cards, which was great for us :)
All in all, I would always organize it again with Ram and Bakktha

Three passes trek
1st April, 2022
I loved the three passes trek. Great 18 days with awesome views and nice walks. And ram with his organisation and our guide bakktha did everything to make this trip unforgettable.Planning our trip was easy because email and telephone communication with ram was perfect. He told no lies and talked honestly about the costs and challenges of the trip.
The lodges were as good as possible up there at the trek.
Even when we had problems with our flights to and from lukla because of bad weather or technically problems with the aircraft ram and bakktha did hundreds of phone calls to manage that we didn't lose so much time.I would totally recommend the organisation. They are very nice, honest and speak good english.
