The Everest Region is the premier trekking destination in Nepal, and the Everest Base Camp Three Passes Trek is rated as its ultimate trekking adventure in the world’s most spectacular mountain terrain. The Everest Base Camp Three Passes Trek trail takes you off the beaten path, through remote valleys, and over high passes, with breathtaking scenery at every turn.

As defined by its name, the Everest Base Camp Three Passes Trek will take you across three challenging passes over 5,000 meters, namely Renjo La (5,360 m.) and Cho La (5,330 m.), and Kongma La (5,540 m.), each offering amazing scenery and views. The trek links both the Everest Base Camp Trek and Gokyo Valley Trek with two additional trails to the east and west of the region. Acclimatization is essential for the three long and demanding pass trekking days, which include slow and steady ascents.This trek is ranked by many hardened trekkers as the best trek in Nepal.

Spring (MarchMay) and autumn (OctoberNovember) are the best seasons to do the Everest Base Camp Three Passes Trek. It is possible to do in the monsoon season (June–early September), but the weather is less predictable; some people, however, still choose this time as it fits better with their vacation schedule. The winter season (DecemberFebruary) is quite cold, and there is a good possibility that snow may block the passes, but often it offers clear skies. We rate this trek as "challenging to strenuous," meaning you need to be fit and resilient given its high pass crossings. It is much more challenging than a Everest Base Camp Trek but not quite as challenging as summiting a trekking peak such as Island Peak Climbing or Mera Peak Climbing.

Variations for the trek:

Himalaya Heart Treks chooses to do the Everest Base Camp Three Passes Trek counter-clockwise. It is possible to trek clockwise, but due to the steep altitude gain of crossing the Renjo La, it is not recommended. From Gokyo, we add an extra day to visit the remote Gokyo Lakes farther up the glacial valley.

Himalaya Heart Treks provides total support for you all the way. Our mountain guides have spent many years leading groups at high altitude and are well able to deal with any problems. Our teams are always well prepared, and we provide our porters and support staff with excellent equipment for travel into the mountains. Your trip leader will be paying careful attention to all clients and staff, making sure everyone stays as comfortable as possible and has the best chance of attaining their goals and completing the trip successfully.

Please Note:

Delays with Lukla flights: These can happen any time of year, but are especially likely around monsoon season (late May to early September). If your flight is delayed, Himalaya Heart Treks will reschedule you on the next possible flight. As conditions can change rapidly, this may be very soon after your scheduled departure, or on very rare occasions, it may be as much as a few days later. It is very difficult to predict. This can be pretty frustrating, but it is simply part of the journey to the Everest region. We strongly recommend you add at least a day or two to the end of your trip if you have an international connecting flight, to give yourself some flexibility in the case of any delays.

As we are going to be at over 5000 metrs in a few days we need to spend a day here allowing our systems to get used to the higher altitude. Set in a beautiful natural amphitheater, Namche Bazaar is one of the most attractive settlements in the Khumbu region. This is a good opportunity today to make short acclimatization treks. We go up to Khumjung, a lovely Sherpa village above Namche visit The Everest View Hotel from where there are wonderful panoramic views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche and Kwangde .

We are up early at first light for a hard day on the trail from Chhukung, we need to negotiate the highest pass of our journey. There are no Lodges on the way so we need to stock up on snacks and take plenty of water. This is remoteness at its best.this is a huge day as we ascend to the Kongma La pass. From the pass, we descend steeply to the Khumbu Glacier which we need to cross, fairly tough going clambering up the moraines on the far side to reach a meadow where there is an Italian high altitude research pyramid. Our final descent is a stiff challenge, the most difficult stage as the trail turns north through the Khumbu Glacier then on to Lobuche.

FAQs

Do I need to bring my own sleeping bag?

You can bring your sleeping bag from home or you can rent one in Kathmandu or Himalaya Heart Treks will loan you one. Most tea houses also have blankets but we suggest you bring a warm bag with a liner to use with the blankets.

Are permits included in the price of the trek?

Yes. All of the necessary permits and conservation fees for your trek are included in the price and will be arranged for you by Himalaya Heart Treks prior to your trek. (We prefer doing this online before your arrival) For certain restricted regions (like Manaslu and Upper Mustang) we need to have a full day in Kathmandu prior to your trek as we need your passport for the permit registration.

What date does the trek start?

We have fixed departures clearly stated in the website otherwise if you are planning to make your tour specific to you and your group the tour starts on the date that works best for you. Typically, you need 2 days in Kathmandu prior to your trek.

Where can I store my luggage during the trek?

You can leave your additional luggage at your hotel in Kathmandu or at our company office in Thamel. Either way, your luggage will be waiting for you at your hotel when you return back from your trek.

What trekking gear should I bring from home?

You can buy virtually everything you need for trekking from down jackets to water bottles in Kathmandu. There is a variety of branded stores as well as a large selection of copied products mainly in Thamel that are of fairly good quality. It’s still worth bringing your own gear if it doesn’t take up too much weight, especially your own trekking boots to avoid any potential issues when purchasing new shoes.

What kind of trekking boots do I need?

You should bring Trekking Boots that are Comfortable and Broken in. There can be some snow at higher altitudes especially when crossing high passes, so it’s good to be prepared for a variety of conditions. Your Footwear should be strong and durable. It should have a chunky Sole preferably made of Vibram or another durable material and should also protect your ankles.

Do I need to tip, if so how much should I tip

Tipping is not required but is expected, and really depends on how happy you were with the service. Guides (both for trekking and cultural tours), porters, and drivers are typically provided with a tip at the end of their service with you.

What happens if I fall ill during the trek?

If you fall ill during your trek, the course of action depends on what’s wrong. If it’s altitude sickness, moving to lower altitudes and taking altitude medication will solve this in most cases; if it’s severe, our guide will arrange for an emergency evacuation by helicopter Himalayan Heart will cover the initial costs then claim from your insurer (be sure that emergency helicopter rescue is covered in your travel insurance it is an essential requirement before travelling with us). If you have stomach sickness or another type of food or water-related illness, our guide will have medication on-hand for most common illnesses.

How long do we trek each day?

Most days in the mountains involve 4-6 and occasionally more hours trekking. When you consider your day starts at 8 am and ends around 4-5 pm, it’s not too arduous as you’ll be taking a number of breaks and stopping for lunch along the way. The higher you get in elevation (especially in the Everest region), the shorter your trekking days will get to ensure we minimize the risk of altitude sickness.

Do I have to carry my own gear?

You only need to carry your day pack with daily essentials (Sunblock, Water, Hat, Light Jacket, and Camera) Our porters carry the bulk of your gear, such as extra clothing and overnight essentials.

What is the usual group size for a trek?

For group treks (treks that start on a specific date and are open for travelers to join), the group size can range from 2-10 people but typically ends up being around 4-6 people.

Do the guides speak English & have first aid training?

All of our guides at Himalaya Heart Treks speak English and have had many years of experience in guiding foreign travelers. It’s a requirement that they all are trained in first aid as well and we carry a first aid kit during the trek.

Useful Information

When’s the best time to visit Nepal?

The main seasons for trekking are the spring (Mar to May) and autumn (Sep to Nov) when you’ll have clear skies and superb mountain views. The winter (Dec to Feb) is also a great time to visit these months offer a unique experience and fewer crowds but lower altitude treks are better at this time of year as its cold at night.

What is it like during the monsoon season

(Jun to Aug), Most of Nepal experiences heavy rain for a few hours each day. It’s humid, wet, and the trails in the lower regions (Ghorepani, Ghandruk, Langtang, etc) can be quite muddy. If you don’t mind the rain you’ll have the trails to yourself, the skies often clear up in the morning, and certain treks offer stone-paved trails that drain the rain and make for easy trekking. Also, certain regions, like Mustang and the upper reaches of Everest, lie in the rainshadow of the Himalaya and receive little rain but views however are still likely to be restricted.

Is Wi-Fi available on treks?

The main trekking regions of Everest / Annapurna / Langtang have Wi Fi facilities on the major trekking routes. There will be times when trekking in remote areas when it is not available.

What is Altitude Sickness?

Many sites on Google speak about 2.500 meters as when problems may arise. In our experience this is misleading you may feel a slight headache but rarely anything more that a painkiller won’t relieve. If we are talking about the possibility of contracting a more severe form of altitude sickness it is likely to occur over 4.000 meters and once again rare and easily resolved by descending to a lower altitude. Altitude sickness describes several symptoms that happen to your body when you’re exposed to a higher elevation within a short period of time. When people are traveling or either climbing to a higher elevation quickly. The higher you climb, the lower the air pressure and oxygen levels get. Our bodies can handle the shift, but they need time to gradually adjust. Himalaya Heart Treks carefully designs treks to minimise any risk.Having said that genrally people will experience the following to a lesser or higher degree.

Lack of Appetite/ Nausea / Fatigue / Shortness of Breath

Money and payment in Nepal?

Payment in Hotels, Trekking / Travel Agencies, and Airlines are made in foreign exchange. Most of the International Cards including Visa Card, Master Card, JCB, Maestro, Americal Express etc. Are widely accepted by hotels, restaurants and leading travel/trekking agents. The receipts may be needed to change left-over Nepalese Rupees into hard currency before leaving the country. However, only (10 %)Percent of the total amount may be converted by the bank. ATM and Debit Cards are widely in use in major cities of Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Lumbini and others.

Nepalese Rupees are found in denominations of 1000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1. One rupee equals 100 paisa. The rate regularly fluctuates and is fixed and published by Nepal Rastra Bank every other day.

What’s the difference between private and group tours?

Private Tours are tailor-made itineraries built by us around your travel dates and personal interests, whereas group trips are pre-packaged and depart on specific dates. Group trips are also open for others to join, whereas private trips are just for you. You will find a list of fixed departure dates on our website.
