The Everest Three Passes Trek with Rise Expeditions ensures an unforgettable journey through one of the most renowned and majestic regions in the world. Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s Capital city, where you will stay, setting the stage for your trek. The journey to the Everest region includes a scenic 30-minute flight to Lukla (2,800 meters), known for its dramatic airport perched on a cliff and named after the legendary climbers Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary. The trek is supported by well-maintained teahouses, offering essential comforts such as hearty meals and cozy accommodations at altitudes up to 5,000 meters.
The Everest Three Passes Trek is well renowned for its demanding physical fitness and awe-inspiring routes. You’ll traverse three high mountain passes—Renjo La (5,345 meters), Cho La (5,420 meters), and Kongma La (5,545 meters)—each offering unparalleled views and a sense of accomplishment. Along the way, you will visit iconic landmarks like Everest Base Camp (5,364 meters) and the serene Gokyo Lakes, renowned for their stunning blue waters and reflective views of the surrounding peaks. Kala Patthar (5,644 meters) provides a panoramic sunrise view of Everest and neighboring peaks, including Lhotse and Nuptse.
The Everest region is globally recognized for its unparalleled natural beauty and cultural significance. It is home to the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest (8,848.86 meters), and the Khumbu Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the Himalayas. The area is also a cultural hub for the Sherpa people, whose traditions and Buddhist monasteries add a rich cultural dimension to your trek. From the gateway to Mt. Everest, Namche Bazaar to the tranquil monasteries of Tengboche, the Everest Three Passes Trek offers a profound connection to both the natural and cultural wonders of the Himalayas that especially craft for you.
Outside the terminal of Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, our airport agent will be waiting for you with a sign bearing the name of the Company.
