Three Passes of Everest

Posted Nov 08 2009 10:01pm

by site editor Rick McCharles

If I can make the logistics work, I’ll try for the most difficult of the “standard” treks in the Everest region.

To the seekers of adventure and authenticicity, this is an ultimate trek, that will take you throgh the famous three passes of Everest , namely the Renjo La pass, the Cho La pass and the Kongma La pass.It is a trek with unparalled alpine beauty and without doubt the grandest mountain scenery on the world.The highlights of the trek include the Sherpa village of Khumjung, the pristine Gokyo lake, the breathtaking scenery fron the all these passes and the vist to Everest base camp.Unlike other treks in Everest region , this trek makes a loop , hence no tracing back of the route. The good thing about this trek is despite having to cross three passes , you do not require any technical climbing and any person with good fitness and previous trekking experience can complete the trek successfully. …

I’ll be hiking independently. Looking for other independents to hike with en route.

Tea houses are available throughout the route, aside from long sections over the 3 passes.
