We'll reach Pokalden Base Camp following the small, rocky, and gentle climb. Another climb from Pokalden is arduous as we have to hike through the glacier and on the cliffs.

Crossing the Pass over 5,540 meters will be more tiring than previous hikes. It takes around four hours to scale the top of Kongma La Pass. The higher elevations and steep climb of Kongma La are rewarding with scenic mountain panorama. The scenic view from its top includes Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Khumbu Glacier, and more.

The trek is easy till the Pyramid. However, past the glacier moraine, the walk becomes arduous.

You'll trek adjacent to Mt. Cholatse and elegant Ama Dablam on the backdrop. For an hour from Dzongla, you'll trek on almost-flat-like terrain.

The first arduous section of Cho La is climbing a small 50-meter-tall ridge. Past the ridge, you'll trek along the small stream of Cho La. Further, one small glacier moraine climb takes you to the main section of Cho La Pass. Here, you must use the crampons to walk safely over the ice.

The main glacier section takes 30 minutes to cross. However, with snow and ice, crossing this section could take up to an hour.

The final section before the Cho La Pass top is arduous. Here, you've to trek by grabbing the fixed rope.

Once you reach the Cho La top, the best mountain panorama rewards you. The unmatched sense of accomplishment of conquering Cho La Pass gives you joy and excitement.

The descent from Cho La top is difficult as on most sections, where you need to grab the fixed rope. Also, the loose and slippery trail makes the downwalk challenging.

Once you reach the pasture land, the trek becomes easier. You'll trek for an hour from the pasture land to Thangnak.

You'll settle in at Hotel Tashi Friendship at Thangnak for overnight accommodation.

We'll be resting till late morning at Thangnak before leaving for Gokyo.

After a nutritious breakfast at Thongnak, we'll start the trek to Gokyo.

The most adventurous part of today's trek is crossing Ngozumpa Glacier. It's the largest glacier in the Himalayas of Nepal.

As you navigate through the glacier, you'll see Mt. Cho Oyu, the tenth-highest mountain. Before entering the Gokyo Valley, you'll climb a 100-meter ridge. After climbing, the serene Gokyo Lakes appear.

The tea houses in Gokyo sit east of Dudh Pokhari, the largest Gokyo Lake.

You'll settle in at Eco Lodge in Gokyo. First thing, you'll grab the lunch straight away.

With the best lake view, sleeping overnight in Gokyo Lakes becomes a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Climbing Gokyo Ri is strenuous due to the thin air and steep ascends. However, the panoramic viewing experience from the top of this viewpoint is rewarding.

At 4 am, you'll start the hike to Gokyo Ri. The entire valley remains calm and serene in the early morning. However, as you reach the mid-way of Gokyo Ri, the sunrise lights the entire valley. Particularly, Mt. Cho Oyu becomes spectacular with the golden sunrise colors.

From Gokyo Ri, you'll get a 360 panoramic view of the entire valley including the beautiful sight of Mt. Everest. Furthermore, the scintillating turquoise freshwater Gokyo Lakes leave you in awe. The spectacular view of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Lobuche, Tawoche, etc. from Gokyo Ri offers an unmatched experience.

You'll return to the tea house during the evening, grab dinner, and take a sound sleep.

After leaving Gokyo with breakfast in the early morning, you'll trek along the banks of Gokyo Lake. Once you reach the lake's end, you'll start the gradual ascend.

The almost vertical climb for 30 minutes takes you to flat terrain. On this terrain, you'll trek for another 30 minutes. However, the route winds through the moraines of glaciers with gradual ascent.

For 30 minutes, you'll take an arduous climb on a rock-fall-prone area, right below the Renjo La top. You must be quick and attentive, as the occasional rock fall may cause issues.

Once you reach Renjo La Pass top, you'll get the amazing panorama, a 360˚ view of Everest, Gokyo, and Rolwaling Valley. From the top, the surreal view of turquoise Gokyo Lake, Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lobuche, Makalu, and others blows you away.

You'll trek 20 minutes more from Thameteng to Thame. With the recent glacier outburst, a small part of Thame has been impacted. But you'll take an alternative route from Thame to a bridge down the river,

You'll descend for 20 minutes, cross a bridge, and trek to Thamo for lunch.

From Thamo, you'll trek for two more hours to Namche Bazaar.

Throughout the trail, you'll see Buddhist prayer flags, wheels, and chhortens. With fewer trekkers en route, the walk will be peaceful.

You'll settle in at Hotel Everest in Namche.

Trekking from Namche to Lukla feels like forever as you'll edge to the end of the successful Everest Three Passes Trek. But for the most part, you'll descend. Hence, there'll be less fatigue during the 6-hour-long walk.

For lunch, you'll stop at a tea house in Phakding.

A three-hour gradual walk from Phakding takes you to Lukla. The joy of reaching Lukla gives you a sense of accomplishment, a reward.

It's better to invite the trek guide and porter for a farewell dinner at the tea house in Lukla. Also, we recommend you tip your trek guides and porters in the evening.

You'll take an early morning flight from Lukla to Kathmandu/Ramechhap.

If you fly directly to Kathmandu, you'll have breakfast at a cafe. However, you'll have breakfast at the restaurant if you fly to Manthali airport.

Upon reaching Kathmandu/Manthali airport, you'll get an airport-hotel transfer on a private vehicle. From Manthali airport, it'll be a five-hour drive to Kathmandu.

Completing an 18-day Everest Three High Pass Trek takes a toll on you. Thus, you'll need a relaxing and refreshing tour. We'll provide you with a day Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour for you.

The flight to Lukla from Kathmandu or Ramechhap airport depends on when you do this trek.

For example, in 2024, most flights were from Kathmandu to Lukla until September 20. However, from September 20 to December 1, 95% of flights are scheduled to operate from Manthali airport. It's due to the trekking season.

The Spring season starts in March and ends in late May. Likewise, the autumn season starts from mid-September to late November. During this time, more than 300-400 trekkers fly to/from Lukla. And given the air traffic and Lukla's unpredictable weather, the flights often get delayed and postponed for days.

Hence, the flights to Lukla operate from Manthali airport to efficiently manage the busy flight schedule.

You'll get a private/shared vehicle drive from Kathmandu to Manthali airport. It's usually midnight when you'll leave Kathmandu to Ramechhap.

Our representative will pick you up on a private/shared vehicle (jeep) from the hotel. It'll be a six-hour drive along the B.P. Highway.

With breakfast at the restaurant, you'll take the flight to Lukla in the morning.

For a detailed guide, please check out our blog, Kathmandu to Ramechhap: A Trip to Manthali Airport.

With recent weather developments, flight delays in Lukla are becoming quite common in Autumn. The late summer rain until the end of September causes flight delays and cancelations. However, past mid-October till December, the weather remains excellent for the flights.

In Spring, the flights to Lukla operate on time. Except at the end of May, from late February to mid-May, the weather remains crisp for flight landing and takeoff at Lukla.

For now, please keep in mind that flight delays are common when you're flying to Lukla.

Usually, in a worst-case scenario, flight cancelation during the season can go for 4 days straight. Recently, all the flights from 13-17th October 2024 to Lukla from Manthali airport have been canceled due to bad weather at Lukla and Manthali.

We recommend you plan Everest Three Passes Trek with at least two buffer days. With two buffer days, you can plan alternatives while waiting for the flight.

The appropriate solution would be to wait for the weather to improve and fly to Lukla. However, if you wish to fly to Lukla on a helicopter, you'll have to pay, partially compensated by the flight ticket refund.

If your flight from Kathmandu to Lukla gets canceled, you can plan the Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour during the buffer days. Once you complete the tour and the weather clears, you'll fly to Lukla.

Another option would be to take a jeep drive from Kathmandu/Manthali to Salleri and Thamdanda. And from Thamdanda, you'll trek for two days to Phakding and start the trek.

All airlines to Lukla allow trekkers to bring 15 kg weighing luggage. However, for luggage weighing more than 15 kg, the airlines charge up to Rs. 150-200 per kg.

Thus, we suggest you bring a backpack weighing 15 kg or less.

However, you can't reuse the permit once you check out the trek permits from the trekker's checkpost in Monjo and Lukla.

Getting private rooms for accommodation can get challenging during the season. However, if available, you might get a private room for accommodation.

Note: You must pay USD 15 each day for a private room.

A sleeping bag is highly recommended for Everest Three Passes Trek.

If you're planning to trek to three high passes in Autumn, you'll need a sleeping bag. As the temperature drops significantly, the provided blankets won't be adequate to keep you warm.

Morever, in March and April, for additional warmth, you'll need a sleeping bag.

Note: We provide a warm sleeping bag in rent, USD 30 for the entire trek.

No. The tea houses in the Everest region are regular lodges with twin-sharing rooms with decent accommodation. You won't get heated rooms at any tea houses during this trek.

Even if you're non-vegetarian, we suggest you eat meat during the trek. The meat products often fail to remain fresh and can cause food poisoning.

Yes. The drinking water during the trek is safe to drink, and even the running water from the tap is safe to drink. However, you can use water purification tablets or filters to make the water safer.

If you prefer drinking hot water, you can buy and refill the boiled drinking water at the tea houses. You can buy a cup, a small pot, or a liter of boiled drinking water.

Your trekking guide assesses the situation first if you get altitude sickness during the trek.

Based on the situation, we'll perform:

-  Take a day's rest and resume the trek ( basic symptoms)

-  Gradual descent to lower altitude (mild symptoms)

-  Rapid descent by helicopter rescue (severe symptoms like HACE and HAPE)

Note: You must bring a valid travel insurance policy with helicopter rescue coverage.

No. Our trek guides don't carry oxygen supplements during the trek. Logistically and financially, carrying an oxygen cylinder on a trek is challenging. The tea houses we accommodate during the trek provide supplemental oxygen when needed.

Instead, we do our best to keep you safe and free from altitude sickness during the trek.

Absolutely. The acclimatization during the trek is to ensure adequate adaptation to the altitude.

On this 15-day trek, you'll rest for a day at Namche and Dingboche. Namche is 3,440 meters, and Dingboche is 4,410 meters. These altitudes are perfect for a day of rest that ensures utmost acclimatization.

During acclimatization in Namche, you'll visit Hotel Everest View. And in Dingboche, you'll trek to Nangkartshang Peak. These viewpoints offer a panoramic glimpse of the world's highest mountains and proper acclimatization.

There are few hospitals en route to the base camp and Gokyo. However, they are basic and provide minor high-altitude sickness and other associated treatments.

A hospital in Lukla is more sophisticated. However, others in the region are just basic clinics. There's a clinic in Namche Bazaar. Moreover, there's a basic hospital in Pheriche. Likewise, in Gokyo, there's a clinic that provides basic treatment.

Hence, a helicopter evacuation is necessary if you get significant injuries during the trek.

No. Almost all the trekking routes of Everest Three High Pass Trek are safe to trek. The entire route is void of landslides, avalanches, and floods. However, the ascend of Kongma La and the final climb of Renjo La are a bit steep with active glaciers and rock falls.

With our experienced trekking guide, you'll cross these sections safely.

If you have travel insurance with helicopter rescue coverage up to 5,600 meters, you'll get a one-time helicopter rescue. The highest elevation profile on the Everest Three Passes Trek is 5,600 meters.

If you fail to purchase or provide us with proof of travel insurance, you may not get the helicopter on time. High-altitude rescue in the Everest region is expensive, and helicopter companies hesitate to rescue clients who don't have travel insurance.

Of course! All guides employed at NepTrek Adventures are licensed and first aid responder certified.

Our licensed trekking guides have extensive experience in high-altitude guiding, including the Everest region.

We'll send you the details and portfolio of the trekking guide once you confirm the trek with us.

Yes. You'll get a trek porter for the trek.

We allocate one porter to two trekkers to carry a combined weight of 20-25 kg only. Thus, we advise you to bring the essential trek gear only. In this way, you can make the backpack lighter.

If the combined weight exceeds 25 kg, you must pay USD 10 per day for extra weight.

The number of trek guides depends on the group size.

Usually, we allocate one group leader and an assistant guide for a group of 6-10 pax. However, we allocate one senior trek guide with plenty of guiding experience for a group of six or lower.

Note: The trek porters will also assist the group if needed.

Yes. We buy insurance for our trek guides and porters. The insurance includes helicopter evacuation, medication, and hospitalization expenses incurred during the trek.

At the end of the trek, in Lukla, you must tip to your trek guide and porter. There's no regulation for the amount of tip. However, everyone tip at least 10% of the trek cost to the guide and porter. Usually, USD 10 per day is a common practice among trekkers in the Everest region.

While trekking in a group, we allocate the guides and porters as per the group size. Thus, it will be challenging to provide you with a private guide and porter in a group. Moreover, hiring an individual guide and porter will be expensive as well.

Hence, if you want a guide and porter, we recommend you book a private trek with us.

If you're bringing the gear and clothes, it's great. However, kindly let us know if you want to rent items like a down jacket, sleeping bag, and trekking boot. We provide all these gears in rentals at the best price.

We usually provide you with a duffle bag for the trek. Since the porter carries most of your stuff in the duffle bag, you can trek with a light backpack.

An ordinary bag that fits a water bottle, some chocolates, and sunscreen will be enough for the daypack. Thus, we recommend you bring at least 30 30-liter trekking bags for the trek.
