Khumbu Three Passes Trek Overview
- Duration:19 days 18 nights
- Travelers:2 - 15 guests
- Tour Type:Group tour
- Language:English, French, German, Italian
The Khumbu Three Passes Trek is one of Nepal's most challenging and rewarding trekking adventures. Designed for experienced trekkers seeking a complete Himalayan experience, this spectacular circuit crosses three high mountain passes—Kongma La (5,535 m), Cho La (5,420 m), and Renjo La (5,360 m)—while visiting the legendary Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and Kala Patthar (5,545 m).
Unlike the standard Everest Base Camp Trek, the Three Passes Trek offers a more remote, adventurous, and less crowded route through the heart of the Khumbu region. Trekkers are rewarded with breathtaking views of Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Thamserku, and countless snow-capped peaks.
