Short Itinerary
Trip Overview
Spanning 18 unforgettable days, the Everest Three High Passes Trek is a complete circuit around the Khumbu area, crossing Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,360m) each pass offering a different perspective of the raw, breathtaking high Himalayan world. After most trekkers turn around at Everest Base Camp, this path goes on higher, quieter, and deeper into the valleys which have been the sources of the Himalayas' greatest legend.
Prayer flags flutter over suspension bridges, solar-powered teahouses emit a warm glow at nightfall, and the locals still prepare the apple pie at 14,000 feet elevation. So, it is, in a way that the traditional Base Camp trail neither reveals nor even hints at.
These valleys literally changed the entire history of adventure. In fact, it was after Hillary and Tenzing reached the summit of Mount Everest back in 1953, that the Khumbu region became the very pulse of high-altitude exploration.
Nowadays, the Sherpa Rai Tamang, and Magar guides still follow the steps of their ancestors, welcoming people from all over the world to the vibrant mountain culture that is still alive and breathing.For us at Destination Guru Tours & Treks, this path is far from being a mere checklist of challenges - rather, it is a work of art that one should immerse themselves in. Each time we cross a glacier, every time we climb at daybreak, or even each time we share a cup of butter tea with a local villager, we are all part of a heritage that we feel very privileged to introduce you to.
Destination Guru Tours & Treks has prepared an exciting trip for you to the Himalayas of the Everest region. Here is a comprehensive outline of our Three Pass Trek 18-day package including all the details for you to plan your trip.You will be crossing three passes during this trek, namely Kongma-La Pass, Cho La Pass, and Renjo-La Pass.
Kongma-La is a mountain pass and the highest of the three at an altitude of 5,535 meters above sea level. Being the highest one it is also the most challenging of the three and you will surely feel the pressure while climbing to this pass.
The second pass we will come across on this trekking route is the Cho La Pass, this pass links the Gokyo valley with the main Everest Base Camp trek. It is also the place where Thagnak and Dzongla, two villages of the Khumbu region, meet.
Since it is a center for several routes, it is the most frequented pass among the three. The final pass we need to cross on this trekking route is the Renjo La Pass which is the easiest of the three passes. Located at a height of 5360 meters above sea level, this is the only pass without any glacier on it.
Detailed Itinerary
Arrival in Kathmandu (1,400 m / 4,593 ft), Tribhuvan International Airport
One of our welcoming Destination Guru personnel will be ready to greet you as soon as you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport. To make it easier for you to identify them, they will be carrying a brochure with your name and our company's emblem. A traditional marigold (flower) garland will be given to you as a token of appreciation for your visit. Your guide and a private corporate car will be waiting for you at the airport to transport you to your accommodation in Kathmandu. You'll have time to unwind and settle in after arriving at the hotel and organizing your bags. After you're refreshed, you'll have a brief but thorough briefing with your trekking guide. You'll learn about the Everest Base Camp hike, the daily timetable, safety precautions, and practical advice to make your trip easy and pleasurable during this class. The vibrant alleyways of Thamel, the well-known tourist destination in Kathmandu, can be explored later. Before your journey to the Everest region starts, you can peruse local stores, savor real Nepali food, or just take in the vibrant ambiance.
Fly from Kathmandu/Manthali to Lukla (2,850m/9,350 ft) & trek to Phakding ( 2650 m/8562 ft )
Your trip start may vary depending on the trekking seasons. If you are trekking in March, April, May, September, October, and November, the flights from Kathmandu to Lukla may get diverted to Manthali Airport. If you are catching an early morning flight from Lukla to Kathmandu from Manthali Airport, we shall pick you up from the hotel at 12:30 am and drive for 5 hours to Manthali Airport. The flying time from Manthali Airport to Lukla is only 20 minutes. If you are trekking in December, January, February, June, July, and August, you shall fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla. You may also book a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla and avoid the long drive from Kathmandu to Manthali. The helicopter booking fee is around 550 USD, which is shared by five people. Your trek starts from Lukla Airport. We shall collect from Lukla and trek towards Phakding. On the way, you shall pass through Chaurikharka Village. This is also an act of acclimatization. As the trek is quite short, we shall visit the monasteries in the Phakding area.
Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3,440m/11,285 ft)
We will continue to trek along the northern bank of the Dudh Koshi River. The view from our route is magnificent. As we cross numerous suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River, including the Hillary Suspension Bridge, we experience the feeling of wilderness and closeness to nature. The route will take us to the Sagarmatha National Park, where we will register our permits and then move towards the dense forest to catch the first glimpse of Mt. Everest. But the destination for the day will be Namche Bazaar, also called the Gateway to Everest.
Exploration & acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar.
So as not to shock our bodies and to be able to respond naturally to the demands of the altitude, we spend a day in Namche Bazaar for acclimatization. We obey the saying "climb high, sleep low" so as to gradually ascend to higher elevations and then descend to Namche for the night. After a simple breakfast, we head to Syangboche Airport from where we proceed on foot to the famous Hotel Everest View (3,880m) which besides offering a breathtaking view of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Thamserku also provides a comfortable stay. In fact, this place is perfect to soak in the natural beauty of the Himalayas. At the same time, if you want to catch a glimpse of the Sherpa culture and lifestyle, take a trip to Khumjung village where we can visit the Khumjung Monastery and the old Hillary School. Later part of the day, we come back to Namche where we can spend the day relaxing, drinking lots of water, strolling around the shops and cafés, and getting ready for the next day at a higher altitude.
Trek from Namche Bazar to Thame (3,800m / 12,433ft)
After leaving Namche Bazaar, the trail smoothly runs alongside the picturesque Bhote Koshi River, going through calm rhododendron woods that put forth colorful flowers in spring. Getting near to Phurte, you will see quite a few small, traditional mud stupas along the path which basically uplift the spiritual atmosphere of the walk.In fact, the path after that almost inevitably takes you through the sleepy villages of Thamp and also to the peaceful monastery Thamo Gompa which is one of the important monasteries of the vicinity. After that, the route goes down very steeply to the Khumbu Hydroelectric Plant and then slowly starts going up towards your ultimate destination, Thame (3,800m).Thame is a traditional village of Sherpas and it is especially famous for its mountaineering heritage. For example, it is the place of origin of Apa Sherpa who is the famous mountaineer that has got the record for climbing Mount Everest 21 times and also Tenzing Norgay who was one of the first two climbers to reach the summit of Everest. Besides being rich in culture and history, Thame allows you to see the real life and traditions of the Sherpa community thereby, turning it into an unforgettable destination on the walk.
Trek from Thame to Lungden (4,380m / 14,370ft)
You leave Thame early and head towards Lungden (4,380m) along a gently ascending path. The trail is visually pleasing, offering northern Himalayan views through a deep valley combined with alpine flora and majestic snowy peaks in the distance. After passing the last permanently inhabited Taranga, you will quietly stroll through the village of Marlung, where the lifestyle is reflected in traditional stone houses and yak-pastures. Gradually the path goes up along the valley until you come to the little hamlet of Lungden. When you have arrived at Lungden, you can choose to visit the lovely Nakpa Valley or go for a short walk to the spotless Cho Relmo Lake. Furthermore, these activities help you to be in good shape for the upcoming high-altitude crossing. We spend the night in Lungden.
Cross Renjo La Pass (5,360m / 17,585ft) and trek to Gokyo (4,790m / 15,715ft)
Today will be a highly challenging but also very rewarding day of your trek as you cross your first high pass, Renjo La Pass (5360m). You will be up early in Lungden and the route will take you up the hill in a very persistent and steady manner to the top of the pass. Once you get to the summit, you will be utterly amazed by the spectacular and breathtaking panoramic views that you will get of some of the highest peaks in the world such as Mount Everest Lhotse Makalu, and Cho Oyu. The wonderful scenery from the top makes the tough climb more than worthwhile. The trail from the pass drops quite sharply into the beautiful Gokyo Valley and you will enjoy the gambling of the glacial lakes as well as the rugged terrain on the way. After a long but memorable day, you will reach the tranquil Gokyo, situated beside the charming Gokyo Lakes. You will spend the night in Gokyo.
Climb Gokyo Ri (5,357m / 17,575ft) and explore the 4th and 5th Gokyo Lakes (around 5,000–5,100m / 16,404–16,732ft)
Today's hike in the gokyo Valley feels alive. You'll climb to gokyo Ri, 5,357 meters up - breathtaking views stretch out. Towering Himalayan peaks like Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and cho Oyu rise sharply above. The Ngozumpa Glacier spreads far below. It's steep but probably worth it. Most people say the view fills them with awe. You go down to gokyo, then move toward the upper lakes - fourth and fifth among them. They sit at about 5,000 to 5,100 meters. The path winds through quiet places where crowds rarely show up. Clear blue waters mirror snow-covered cliffs. Silence speaks louder than voices here .The acclimatization helps more or less. Your body adapts slowly over time. You spend the night in gokyo again. This isn't just a sightseeing day, it's part of building strength for tomorrow's challenges.
Trek from Gokyo to Thagnak (4,700m / 15,420ft)
Today’s trek is a short but really beautiful journey through the rugged Gokyo Valley.

As you keep going, the trail stays pretty moderate, but you got to watch your step because of loose rocks and glacial debris. After a few hours of trekking, you’ll reach Thagnak (4,700m / 15,420ft), a small settlement at the base of the Cho La Pass.
