Three Passes Trek

The ultimate Khumbu challenge — three high passes in one epic loop

The Three Passes Trek is widely regarded as the finest high-altitude trekking circuit in Nepal. The route crosses Renjo La (5,360 m), Cho La (5,420 m), and Kongma La (5,535 m) while combining the best of both the Gokyo Lakes and Everest Base Camp routes. The full circuit takes 18–21 days from Lukla and rewards determined trekkers with extraordinary views, remote glacier crossings, and the satisfaction of completing one of the Himalayas' most demanding trekking challenges. Previous high-altitude experience is strongly recommended.
