Khumbu Three Passes Trek

The Khumbu Three Passes Trek is an exciting adventure for those who want a more challenging experience than the usual Everest Base Camp Trek. This trek involves crossing three high mountain passes: Renjo La (5360 m), Cho La (5420m), and Kongma La (5535m), but don't worry, they don't require technical climbing skills.

During this trek, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of some of the world's highest peaks, including Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8463m), and Cho Oyu (8201m) – four of the eight highest peaks on the planet. In addition to conquering the three passes, the trek includes must-see spots like Gokyo Ri, Kala Patthar, and the famous Everest Base Camp. It's a fantastic journey for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The best season for Three High Passes Trek is from March to May and from September to November.
