Three pass trek is done in the Mahalangur Himalayan Range i.e Everest Region. Locally known as the Khumbu Region. This trek links Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake trek with two additional trails to the east and west of this central region. It includes the three high passes in the Everest Region with each pass over 5000m high. This trek is categorized as one of the difficult treks in Nepal and therefore requires thorough acclimatization, slow and steady ascents and good health condition. This trek can be tackled in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. Fly to Lukla and hike to Monjo. And trek to Namche Bazaar where we spend couple days for rest and acclimatization.On the day of acclimatization,we will hike up to the Everest View Hotel and then hike down to Namche Bazzar and take the afternoon off exploring the town.The eastern arm adds a trek up to Chhukung for two acclimatization nights and add a walk to Chhukhung Ri or to the island peak base camp for views over and beyond the Lhotse and Ama Dablam glaciers. Then hike our first Pass Kongma La (5535m), en-route to Lobuche and Everest Base Camp. Return to Dzonghlha and take the route up the Cho La (5368m) and steep descent to Thangnak, Cross the Ngozumpa Glacier and head for Gokyo: and a rest day to climb Gokyo Ri for superb views of Nepal’s longest glacier of Cho Oyo and the Everest Himalayan range.The western section includes the steep ascent to the Renjo La, some four hours above the lake for outstanding views of the valley and glacier below and numerous high ridges crowned by the Everest Group including the northwest face of Everest. The descent to after Renjo La shows up a new dramatic landscape.This trail then connects an to old Tibetan salt trade route and continues to Thame and then back to Namche Bazaar and on to Lukla for your flight back to Kathm
