What Is the Everest 3 Pass Trek?

  • Renjo La Pass (5,360m): A scenic highlight offering panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu.
  • Cho La Pass (5,420m): Known for its icy crossings and connection to the Gokyo Lakes.
  • Kongma La Pass (5,535m): The highest pass, testing your limits with its rugged beauty.

This trek combines adventure, natural wonders, and cultural encounters, all curated with Sora Adventure Treks’ expertise.

The Everest 3 Pass Trek starts and ends in Lukla, taking you deep into the Himalayas. Along the way, you’ll explore:

  • Gokyo Lakes: A cluster of six pristine lakes surrounded by towering peaks.
  • Kala Patthar: The ultimate viewpoint for a jaw-dropping sunrise over Everest.
  • Sagarmatha National Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with diverse flora and fauna.
  • Sherpa Villages: From Namche Bazaar to Dingboche, you’ll encounter warm Sherpa hospitality and their rich culture.

Each step on this trek is a step closer to understanding the grandeur of the Himalayas.
