Overview
Everest High pass trek is recognized as one of the adventurous trekking routes in Khumbu region including three astonishing trekking passes such as Kongma La (5,535m), Cho-La (5,400m) and Renjo La (5,300m). Throughout the trek we march into the lush forest of colorful blooming rhododendron and experience the stunning view of Cho Oyu (8,201m), Everest (8,848m), Makalu (8,463m), Lhotse (8,516) and frozen lakes. Moreover, we get an opportunity to know the lifestyle of the local people and be a part of their culture and traditions in some sherpa villages and even the remotest valley of Nangpa La, Marlung, Thame valley. The venture also combines the ultimate experience of Everest base case and Kala Patthar that add more excitement and thrill.
Our Everest 2 high passes trip begins with a curious historical and cultural tour through the city of temple; Kathmandu valley and tour covers some world heritage sites of immense interest. This follows with a scenic flight to the Everest legend Hillary’s airport of Lukla, one of the highest in the world and most dramatic. We then begin our popular hike through Chomolong up the raging ‘Dudh Koshi’ [river of milk] on our way to Namche and the world-famous Sagarmatha national park. After submitting our fast pass we reach Gokyo valley passing through the Gokyo-Ri trails.
Highlights
- Triumph Over Three Legendary High Passes: Conquer Kongma La (5,535 m), Cho La (5,420 m), and Renjo La (5,360 m)—each delivering heart-stopping exposure, glacier crossings, and sweeping panoramas that dwarf the standard EBC trail.
- Unrivalled 360° Eight-Thousander Views: Stand eye-to-eye with four of the planet’s six highest peaks, Everest (8,848 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Makalu (8,463 m), and Cho Oyu (8,201 m)—plus Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and more—from Gokyo Ri, Kala Patthar, and every pass.
- Gokyo Lakes & Ngozumpa Glacier Spectacle: Marvel at the surreal turquoise Gokyo Lakes system and trek beside the 36 km-long Ngozumpa Glacier; climb Gokyo Ri (5,360 m) for what many call the single best Everest-region viewpoint—better than Kala Patthar.
- Everest Base Camp + Kala Patthar Double Whammy: Walk to the foot of the world’s highest mountain at EBC, then bag the black-rock summit of Kala Patthar at sunrise for the iconic close-up postcard view of Everest’s southwest face glowing gold.
- Remote Sherpa Valleys & Living Culture: Venture off the beaten path into sacred Thame, Marlung, and Nangpa La valleys; visit ancient monasteries, stay in untouched Sherpa villages, and experience raw Himalayan life far from the main EBC crowds.
