Everest High Passes Trek is an altitude thrilling journey in the Everest – Khumbu region, Nepal that includes trekking on popular Everest trails while also discovering unique gems of the Everest region.
While trekking the Everest circuit, we cross three of the high passes of the Everest region viz. Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La. The untouched villages and monasteries such as Marlung and Thame monastery will be introduced during this trek. We can say that this route takes in all the highlights of Khumbu such as cultural sites, amazing viewpoints, glaciers, and the iconic mountains in the world.
This journey will more than satisfy the ambitious trekker intent on crossing high passes without the commitment of any technical climbing. It will begin after a short flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. In the initial part of the trek, we follow the classic Everest Base Camp trek route till Dingboche. Taking right from Dingboche, we head towards Kongma La pass. Once we cross Kongma La, we descend to Lobuche and continue our trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar.
From Kala Patthar, we head back to Lobuche again and take the route of Dzongla, and the next day we cross Cho La and Thanngnak. Now the Gokyo valley is just 2 hours’ distance. Exploring Gokyo valley, Gokyo Lakes, and ascending to Gokyo Ri, we hike towards Renjo La pass, the easiest pass of the entire trek, and trek down to Lungden and Thame, before reaching Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa village of the entire Khumbu region.
