Overview of Everest Three Passes Trek
The main attraction of the Everest Three Passes Trek is the three passes – Renjo La (5,446m), Chola Pass (5,420m), and Kongma La Pass (5,535m). Though it is a strenuous trek, it guarantees the exhilarating experience of adventure, perseverance, and excitement. Furthermore, the view from the top is spectacular, as one can get the closest possible view of Mt Everest, Lhotse, Cho-yu, and Makalu. As the Everest Three Passes Trek is physically demanding, you should take the service of an experienced guide and support staff. The trek takes us to the Everest Base Camp, Kalpattar, Gokyo Lakes system, and Gokyo Ri. Throughout the trek, you can enjoy the majestic view of Mount Everest and other tall peaks.

Trip Information
Accessing this Everest Three Passes Trek
We can access this Everest Three Passes Trek with a flight to Lukla or a trek from Salleri. The accessibility of the scenic hub – headquarters of the Solukhumbu Region depends upon the quality of the roads. However, they can be accessed by flight too. Adding four days to the trip would be a prelude to the major climb ahead.
Trip Difficulty
The Everest Three Passes trail is moderately challenging. Without any technical complexities, the trek doesn’t require ropes or other sophisticated equipment. While the climb may entail traversing small hills or peaks such as Kala Patthar or Gokyo Ri, these can be easily avoided. Although you may encounter some steep slopes, they can be surmounted with a secure footing. Therefore, this trek is accessible to individuals with prior mountain hiking experience and robust physical and mental health.
Although, you must remember that high altitudes can be unpredictable. The weather conditions may shift without warning. Such sudden changes may significantly impact your planned route. Consequently, you must have adequate preparation and flexibility. While Kongma La represents a relatively short passage, the other two passes – Cho La and Renjo La – may pose more substantial challenges due to their susceptibility to sudden weather variations. While such occurrences are rare, it is crucial to remain vigilant and anticipate any eventualities that may arise.
Best time to go to Everest Three Passes Trek
Hiking the famed Everest Three Passes is a viable option throughout the year. However, the optimal periods to start this trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to early December). During this time, the weather conditions are most favorable. Trekking during these seasons provides an unrivaled experience of the breathtaking landscape and mountainous terrain.
The months of September through May offer a dry climate, which enhances the visual splendor of the mountains. September to November is delightful, with clear skies and panoramic views. Even as late as December, the weather remains agreeable, and the vistas are still quite spectacular. Another opportune time to engage in this trek is from March to June, as the weather is stable during this season.
During the winter months, from late December to February, the low season presents an opportunity to experience tranquility in the region. However, visitors must be mindful of the frigid temperatures during the evenings.
Alternatively, the summer months between June and August coincide with the monsoon season. This season is generally not advised for the Everest three-pass trek. Nonetheless, the allure of hiking during this period lies in encountering a few fellow trekkers. Trekkers can engage with locals more leisurely and observe nature in splendor.
Altitude Acclimatization
Trekking at elevations above 2,500 m can raise the risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Proper altitude acclimatization is crucial for preventing AMS. Ascend gradually to allow your body to adjust to the altitude. Stay hydrated by consuming plenty of fluids, such as garlic soup, which aids acclimatization. Medications like acetazolamide (Diamox) can help the body manage oxygen levels more effectively. However, our trip itineraries are carefully planned to include adequate time for the body to acclimatize.
Trip Safety
Your safety is our top priority, and our trips are meticulously planned with that in mind. We take every necessary precaution to ensure your well-being. The team has cell phones, emergency satellite phones, comprehensive medical kits, and essential equipment. You will remain connected to our Kathmandu office at all times. Our team is committed to ensuring your safety throughout the trip. Pre-trip preparations, including mandatory medical questionnaires and travel insurance, are conducted to prioritize your safety.
Fitness Level
The Everest Three Passes Trek requires a good level of physical fitness. While prior exercise experience is recommended, porters and animals will carry your gear and sleeping bags, leaving you with a light day pack. The main challenge comes from trekking at high altitudes, but with consistent daily walking, you will gradually adapt and feel more capable. It’s essential for participants to prepare by engaging in regular exercise and physical training before embarking on the trek. Our itineraries are thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, ensuring suitability for all genders and ages. We emphasize that trekking is a shared journey, not a competition, allowing everyone to participate equally and enjoy the experience together.
One typical day
Each day, your day begins at an early hour. After breakfast, you will start a moderate trek of 4 to 6 hours. En route, you will encounter many cultural landmarks, such as stupas, monasteries, mountains, villages, and forests, all while traversing the Dudh Koshi River. You will take a brief intermission during the afternoon for nourishment and refreshment. After rest, the trek will continue until you reach the planned destination for the day. You can then spend the remaining time exploring the surrounding settlements. You can also climb short hills and peaks following the itinerary.
Comfortable lodgings await you in the evening, complete with a delectable meal. The dawning sun will reveal vistas of majestic peaks that will leave you in awe. As night descends, a sober view of the celestial sky will be yours to enjoy, free from the intrusion of urban light pollution.
Before you go
Before your trek, you must remember the potential for altitude sickness to manifest at elevations exceeding 2,400 meters above sea level. Symptoms may include debilitating headaches and a pervasive sense of discomfort. Nevertheless, this affliction can be effectively forestalled by implementing specific preventative measures such as:
- Stay hydrated and drink 3 to 4 lt of water
- Acclimatize appropriately as specified by your agency
- Walk slowly and steadily
- Carry Diamox (medicine for such sickness)
- Avoid consuming alcohol, coffee, or soft drinks
- Have garlic soup and ginger tea
Additionally, obtaining comprehensive travel insurance for your upcoming journey is essential. Acknowledging the potential risks of altitude sickness and the challenging terrain of trekking paths is necessary. Travel insurance can provide valuable assistance and support if you experience any injury or illness during your travels.
Before going on this trek, verify that your insurance policy provides coverage equal to or exceeding a 5000 m barrier. The journey entails ascending to Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri and a brief excursion to Everest Base Camp. Given the unpredictable weather conditions, helicopter evacuation may be deemed necessary. The insurance policy’s cost primarily depends on the traveler’s age, length of stay, destination, and level of insurance coverage. It is recommended that a minimum coverage of USD 10,000 be secured for this specific type of trek.
Flight Delays in Kathmandu and Lukla
Lukla Airport, situated in a picturesque valley surrounded by towering mountains, is renowned for its challenging take-offs and landings. The region’s unpredictable weather often leads to flight delays or cancellations, making flexibility essential for travelers.
The primary aircraft serving Lukla are Twin Otters and Dorniers, which are generally reliable but subject to weather-related disruptions. When flights are delayed or canceled, helicopter services can be arranged for groups of 4–6 passengers. The cost for these services ranges between USD 500 and USD 3000 per person, depending on passenger numbers, and must be paid at the time of service. This expense is typically reimbursable through travel insurance. Payments can be made in USD, cash, or via credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, or American Express), with an additional 4% bank fee.
Helicopters require a minimum visibility of 1500 meters to operate, while Twin Otter and Dornier aircraft need at least 5000 meters of visibility, according to Nepal Civil Aviation guidelines. If visibility drops below 1500 meters due to adverse weather, helicopter flights are also grounded. In such situations, flights are rescheduled to the next available date, or alternative trekking arrangements can be made to ensure your journey continues smoothly.
Note:
It is recommended that you buy yourself some extra days. Arrive in Kathmandu a day before the departure date. You can use the extra day to purchase equipment and gear and rest before the great trail you’re up to. Buying yourself some spare time after the trek will cover up if the flight from Lukla to Kathmandu is delayed or canceled due to unfavorable weather. So the extra days will help you avoid missing your international flight.
During our trip, there may be various political, climatic, and other factors beyond our control and have a chance of altering our itineraries. Although the alteration may not happen significantly, if necessary, the leader will decide the best alternative considering the group’s interests. If any change is made, we ensure it has a minor effect on our itineraries and plans. However, we cannot be responsible for the result of delays in such cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can carry out this trek easily if you are in optimal physical and mental condition. Before embarking on this trek, a comprehensive regimen is necessary, such as cycling, walking, or running for several hours daily. This will prepare the body for extended periods of hiking through snow-covered paths and dense forests. Basic training in trekking poles, axes, or crampons is also strongly advised. Such training facilitates safe navigation of steep mountain slopes.
This trek has no age restrictions. However, due to the rigorous nature of the journey, it is recommended for individuals aged 16 and above. Those between the ages of 60 and 70 are also welcome to participate, provided they are in optimal physical condition.
You need the Everest National Park permit, and the Khumbu Rural Municipality permit for this trek. The national park permit can be obtained at the Monjo Park entrance gate or through Kathmandu’s Tourist Service Center office, which is included in your package.
We have meticulously designed our trekking itinerary incorporating rest days and acclimatization periods. Giving our guests the best opportunity to enjoy their experience without any hindrances. Our team of highly skilled and knowledgeable guides has undergone extensive training. They will be with you every step of the way to offer their expertise and support. By adhering to our carefully curated itinerary and heeding the advice of our guides, you can embark on this trek with utmost confidence.
The Everest Three Passes trek has been thoughtfully crafted for those with the luxury of time. It is suitable for those who wish to explore the three main gateways of Sagarmatha: Thame, Gokyo, and Chukhung. This trail grants hikers access to less frequented valleys than other routes in Nepal. Furthermore, comfortable accommodations in lodges await trekkers at the end of each leg. The trek does not require technical equipment like ropes; therefore, it is more accessible and feasible than the classic EBC route.
Our recommendation for obtaining safe drinking water is to employ water purification techniques, such as water purification medications, filter machines, and applying Ultraviolet radiation (Steripen). The adoption of these methods will effectively minimize environmental pollution. We expressly discourage the consumption of melted water.
