22 Days Everest Three High Passes Trek Overview
Everest High Passes Trek presents an exceptional chance to witness gigantic Himalayan ranges over 8000m including the highest Mt. Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Makalu and the Ngozumpa Glacier– the largest glacier in the Nepal Himalayas. We will see the sights of Gokyo valley which has a collection of stoned houses and meadows on the shore of a great lake, Dudh Pokhari. Most importantly, we will cross the three high passes in the Everest Region.
On the second day after your arrival, you will be able to visit and explore the ancient historical and religious sites situated at the three cities of Kathmandu Valley: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur. You will get to see the authentic Newari culture, the palaces of Royal Kings residing in the valley during the medieval era.
To begin our trekking from Lukla Airport, we walk down to the Dudh Koshi River. From here we will stick with the major track to Namche Bazaar, a prosperous village situated in a huge secluded bowl-shaped region; you will have a marvelous experience. And the remarkable sight of the Khumbu mountains like Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6608m) as well as immense vistas of Everest will spell bind you. We will also walk on the messy, risky moraines of Ngozumpa Glacier – the main glacier in Nepal. We will be enchanted by varied scenery of the Gokyo Valley including the series of beautiful Gokyo Lake. We will get to observe the first lake Longpongo situated at the height of 4690m. Subsequently, the second lake, Taboche Tsho totally enthralls us with its shiny turquoise blue water alluring in the sun. We will also notice that the Gokyo village set by the third lake and Cho-Oyu peak as a backdrop provide a wonderful sight here.

Can I be a good trekker on Everest 3 Passes Trek?
Everest High Passes Trek is a difficult trek, but it is highly demanding and suitable for passionate walkers who have the ability to walk at least 5-6 hours a day with a light rucksack, at least the trekker needs to be prepared physically and mentally as you might even need to walk 8 to 9 hours each day. Walking in higher altitude is more physically demanding than walking in the lower altitudes; however, if we have good health with average physical fitness, positive attitude, self-confidence and strong determination, we can accomplish the trek successfully.
It will be better to have exercised and jogging regularly before embarking on the trek to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience is preferred but no technical skill is required. It is important that we consult with our doctor before booking this trek. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood disease should inform Mountain Expedition Nepal before booking the trek.
