Cross Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La. Link Everest Base Camp with the Gokyo Valley for the complete high Khumbu experience.
The Everest Three Pass Trek is one of the most challenging and complete trekking routes in the Himalayas. It crosses three high passes — Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La — linking the classic Everest Base Camp trail with the Gokyo Valley.
You visit Everest Base Camp, climb Kala Patthar, explore the turquoise Gokyo Lakes and summit Gokyo Ri. The route is designed for experienced trekkers seeking a full high-Khumbu circuit with dramatic glacier crossings and fewer crowds than the standard EBC trail.
