Everest three pass trek 5,545 meters

EVEREST THREE PASSES TREK

The Everest Three Passes Trek is one of the most challenging and rewarding trekking adventures in the Himalayas, offering a complete exploration of the Everest region. This ultimate high-altitude journey takes you across three spectacular mountain passes—Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,360m)—while visiting Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and the stunning Gokyo Lakes.

Designed for true adventure seekers, this trek combines extreme alpine landscapes, remote Himalayan valleys, dramatic glaciers, and traditional Sherpa culture.
