The Everest Three Passes Trek is the most complete and adventurous journey in the Everest region, combining Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes, and remote Himalayan valleys into one epic circuit in the Khumbu region.
This challenging trek crosses three high mountain passes above 5,300 m — Renjo La (5,360 m), Cho La (5,420 m), and Kongma La (5,535 m) — offering breathtaking views of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.
Along the route, you will explore traditional Sherpa villages, ancient Buddhist monasteries, glaciers, and crystal-clear sacred lakes. Highlights include famous viewpoints like Gokyo Ri (5,360 m), Kala Patthar (5,643 m), and Chhukung Ri (5,550 m), each offering unforgettable Himalayan panoramas.
This trek is long, high, and physically demanding, requiring good fitness and proper acclimatization, but it rewards you with some of the most spectacular mountain scenery on Earth — including four 8,000-meter peaks in one journey.
