Everest 3 High Passes trek


Though all trekking routes in the Everest region include good panoramic views, river gorges, high suspension bridges, Sherpa culture and lifestyle, animal pastures, high mountains, and one or two high passes, the main unique feature of the Everest  3 High Passes Trek is crossing the three challenging high mountain passes in the Everest region: Kongma La Pass ( 5,535 m), Cho La Pass (5420 m) and Renjo La Pass (5,340 m) along with Everest base camp as the main attraction.  The major places of attraction on this trek are: claimed to be world’s most dangerous airport Lukla, market town of Namche, historical Tengboche monastery, Thame and Khumjung Sherpa villages, Gokyo lake valley, Gokyo Ri and Kalapatthar for panoramic views. The trail progresses with the high Himalayan mountains of the Everest region just close by and the distant mountains in sight. Also people who prefer short trek can opt for just only Everest base camp 14 days trek. But the main advantage of the Everest region is that trekkers can adjust the routes in many different kinds of ways according to personal choices and requirements. For those who prefer long trek with peak climbing in the Everest region can opt for Mera peak climb with Amphu Lapcha pass and head for Everest base camp or Island peak climb.

Meal

The tea houses are available in all the major points on this trekking route. They offer a wide variety of meals and drinks on their menu. In some places such as Namche, Lukla, Dingboche, theere are also bakeries and many different varieties of coffee.

Best Season

The best time to trek are Autumn (Sept. to Dec.) and Spring (March to May). The treks during Winter and Summer (monsoon) aren’t impossible but just quite challenging. For the best experience, the early and late Spring and Autumn would be preferable due to less tourist traffic.

During the early Spring, the vegetations look fresh with early flowers starting to bloom in several kinds of plants. The villages are full of activity in preparation of family farms for planting the crops. The days are generally sunny due to which they offer good scenery.

The early Autumn is fresh green after a period of warm rainy days from summer monsoon. The month long Nepali festivals of Dasain and Tihar can also coincide and the harvest time also starts in many of the villages.

The early Winter (late Autumn) is also a very good time if one prefers lower elevations in the Himalayas.
