Detail
The Everest Region Three Passes Trek is a challenging and adventurous trek that offers trekkers the opportunity to explore the Everest region beyond the popular base camp route. This trek is famous for crossing three high-altitude passes: Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,388m). The trek takes you through remote Sherpa villages, stunning high-altitude landscapes, monasteries, and offers breathtaking views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and other peaks of the Khumbu region.
It's a more strenuous trek compared to the classic Everest Base Camp trek, designed for trekkers who are looking for a more challenging adventure. The Three Passes Trek offers a mix of remote hiking and dramatic vistas, along with the opportunity to explore traditional Sherpa culture.
