It looks exciting, right? Well, it's. 

On this trek, you will cross those three pinpoints and reach Kala Patthar and Everest Base Camp. Not only that, but you will also traverse Gokyo Valley and its pristine blue lakes. Yes, you read that right! In a sentence, Everest Three Passes Trek is a complete trek to explore the whole Khumbu region. Therefore, you can say that this trek is a blend of Everest Base Camp Trek and Gokyo Valley Trekking with the Three Passes Trek. Altogether, you will investigate the four different valleys of the Everest Region, Khumbu, Imja Tse, Bhotekoshi, and Gokyo Valley.

Talking about its main highlights, Three Passes Trek has quite a lot of them. First thing first, the mountain vistas during the trek are awe-inspiring. There will be numerous occasions when you watch peaks like Mt Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, etc. How can we forget the mountain panoramas from the view stations like Kala Patthar, Renjo La Pass, Cho La Pass, and Kongma La Pass? You will remain short of words.    

Not only mountains but the captivating views of vast valleys like Goky and Imja Tse, the five Gokyo Lakes, varied landscapes, glaciers, and electric rivers will also keep your eyes busy. Similarly, the trek enables you to trek through the region's dense vegetation. In addition, the Sagarmatha National Park protects the rich flora and fauna of the area. So you will experience that part also.

This trek favors you if you love exploring new places, new cultures, and unique lifestyles. While you trek through the Khumbu Region, you will meet, talk and share moments with Sherpas and other regional ethnicities. You will have ideas about their way of living and thinking.

After Kongma La Pass, you will climb Cho La Pass via Kala Patthar and Everest Base Camp. Then, you will arrive in Gokyo Valley to summit the last of the Three Passes, Renjo La Pass. Upon ascending all the passes, you will trek back to Lukla through Khumbu Region and fly back to Kathmandu to conclude the trek.

The Everest three-high pass trek can be challenging if you have not trekked similar high-elevation and long treks in the Himalayas. But do not worry; our experienced team will guide you thoroughly. 

However, you must prepare for the trek and possess excellent physical perseverance to climb steep and rough sections. This can be arduous without preparation if you are entirely a newbie. This trek has 5-7 hours of daily trekking, steep areas, rough trails, elevating altitudes, harsh temperatures, etc. Therefore, you and your body should be ready to take on all the trek challenges. Then, the skilled team of Mountain Rock Treks will see the rest of it. 

So prepare yourself for this exhilarating but demanding journey with us! You will have a fantastic trek.

Best Time for Everest Three High Passes Trek

The timing for any trek is quite an important thing to look at. If you have all the knowledge about the right timing for a tour, you have already lowered the uncertainties and adversities of the trek by half. That is why it is essential to know the best timing for the hike you opt for. And that is the main reason why we have written this heading for you.

We will guide you through the Everest Region's weather experiences for over a year. Below, We have written about all four seasons: Autumn, Spring, Monsoon, and Winter. And after reading this, you can choose the best time for 3 Pass Trekking without any confusion. Let's get started. 

Everest Three High Passes Trek in Autumn (September, October, November)

Autumn, one of the best times to visit Nepal, functions through September, October, and November. Nepal is a post-monsoon time when the monsoon season has left the atmosphere. Due to that fact, the terrain and landscapes in Nepal look like they have been washed up. So that is the first benefit of traveling in Autumn.

Temperatures in Autumn in Nepal are pretty good for trekking in the mountains. The average temperature around the lower region of the trek remains around 10-18 degrees during the day hours. With such a temperature, you will have no difficulty with the temperature this season. However, there will be some plunge in temperature in the Everest Region when it's dark and when you gain more elevation. So make sure you have a few good clothes for such hours.     

Moreover, Autumn is known for its stable weather conditions. Therefore, if you travel in Autumn around Nepal, there are meager chances of trip cancelation. The Khumbu region and other parts of Nepal undergo beautiful climate situations. Some are unobstructed mountain views, clear skies, bright trekking days, calm breezes, and snow-loaded peaks. 

Travelers worldwide know Autumn is a perfect time for adventures in Nepal. That's why you will meet many wanderers along the trek. Autumn is an option if you love learning about new people and their stories.   

To sum up, Autumn is an unparalleled time for trekking around Nepal. The Three Passes Trek will happen quite nicely during the months of Autumn, that is for sure.  

Everest Three High Passes Trek in Spring (March, April, May)

Spring, the time through March-May, is another right time for trekking in Nepal. It is the peak trekking season in Nepal. That is why you will find overwhelming numbers of people throughout the journey. 

It is the pre-monsoon season coming into Nepal way before Monsoon does. This means there are no chances of massive rainfall until May. So instead, you will get the most pleasant circumstances. Warm temperatures, continuous clear mountains, vibrant landscapes, colorful trails, and bright days are some of the perks of Spring. 

If you see the temperature graph for the Spring season in Nepal, the lower parts of the trek, like Tengboche, Namche, and Gokyo, have average temperatures of around 5-20 degrees during the day. 

However, the night and morning hours in Khumbu Region can constantly be freezing below 0 degrees. Furthermore, the temperature is frigid in the much higher parts of the region, like Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar, Kongma La Pass, and other factors.

Moreover, Spring is cheered for the flowering season. The forests of Nepal are colorful due to the Rhododendron flowers, and so are the trekking trails. This could be another reason why you should choose Spring. The peaks of the Khumbu region, like Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, Lobuche, and others, are snow washed by the winter season. 

In short, Spring season Three Passes Trek is a big yes. The good conditions of the season will make your trek a pleasing one.   

Everest Three High Passes Trek in Winter (December, January, February)

Winter is the coldest time of the year in Nepal. This is because so many people take Winter as an off-season for trekking in Nepal. And the trekking routes of Nepal are pretty peaceful during this season.

Yes, Winter is a cold and snowy season in Nepal. There is massive snowfall in the mountains, and the temperature is freezing. However, not all three months of Winter- December, January, and February, are that bad for trekking. The first two weeks of December are worthwhile. You will get conditions of the Autumn season in that period. Thus, trekking in the mountains is possible in early Winter. 

Similarly, the last few weeks of February can be another time in Winter for trekking. Winter is at its peak in January but slowly lowers through February. Therefore, that time of Winter is also good to go on the trails of Nepal. You can't put Winter aside for trekking in Nepal.

The rewards are considerable if you are bold enough to opt for Winter's early and late weeks. Winter is the best time for mountain vistas due to massive white snowfall. Also, the trekking paths are less crowded than in Autumn and Spring. As a result, you will have a quiet time in the Everest Region. 

Overall, Winter is not as good as Autumn and Spring for trekking. But the early and late days of the Winter season are okay for trekking. So if you want to do the Three Passes Trek in Winter, we can find the right day.    

Everest Three High Passes Trek in Monsoon ( June-July-August)

It is listed at last for some reasons. Monsoon is a less preferred time for trekking in Nepal. It is entirely off-season in Nepal. You will find a few travelers around Kathmandu preparing for treks in the mountains. And that is rightfully alright.  

The monsoon or Summer season is the warmest and wettest season of all. June, July, and August in Nepal are three humid months of the season. The country receives massive rainfall throughout the season. Consequently, the higher areas observe colossal snowfall. The trails of Nepal remain wet, slippery, and landslide-prone. Mountains are not always visible. As for these conditions, Monsoon is a not-so-popular time for trekking in Nepal. 

However, the early days of June and the last few weeks of August are somehow doable. Monsoon is less active in Nepal during those two sessions than in July. And you can do the trek. But make sure you have an experienced guide to help you out. The monsoon treks are pretty prone to problems. Thus you will need an excellent guiding person in front of you. 

The monsoon season rewards spectacular mountains and landscapes, especially after rainfall. This is the most exciting part about the Monsoon season trekking. Also, the trails are pretty peaceful. 

But, as said earlier, you must take on various uncertainties to enjoy the benefits. The weather is quite unpredictable throughout Monsoon. Thus, we do not highly recommend the Monsoon season for Three Passes Trek. But if you want to trek anyway, our experienced team will find an appropriate time in the season and safely guide you.      

Everest Three (3) High Pass Trekking Difficulty

Everest Three High Passes Trekking is a moderate trek in the heavenly Khumbu Region. The tour can be a hard one for some and easy for others. We mean to say it depends on your trekking experience and physical endurance level. 

If you have been trekking in the Himalayas for some time, if you have done similar treks more than a couple of times, Everest 3 Passes Trek should not be difficult. However, if you have never done anything like that in the mountains, this trek is challenging.

In general, the critical difficulties of the Everest Three High Passes Trek are its distance, duration, elevation, trail nature, and weather. First, let's start with length. The trek is about 166km long through the Khumbu Region. Such a distance is not a joke. It will surely test you. 

Likewise, you will need at least 15 days to complete the trek. You will sleep, eat, walk, and repeat in the rural part of the region. On trekking days, you will trek for about 5-7 hours daily. So this part of the trek is also not easy. 

Moreover, the elevation of the trek is sky-touching. You will reach the highest height of the tour at Kala Patthar(5,550m). And you will hike above 5000m+ several times. Trekking and crossing those elevation numbers several times takes so much calm, perseverance, acclimatization, and hard work. So the altitude gains of the trek will test you a little bit. Follow our golden tips for high altitude sickness too.

Similarly, the trek will climb steep sections, slippery trails, glacier walking, and rough terrains. You will have those things for more than two weeks. Taking on such a trail is another problematic part of the trek. Also, the higher parts of the region have extreme weather conditions. You will have strong winds and freezing temperatures at times of the tour. Thus the weather also demands you do something on the journey.  

So these are the significant challenges of the trek. But like there is a saying, difficult roads often lead to a beautiful destination. The Three Passes Trek will lead you to many beautiful destinations. You will not regret taking those adversities on. 

But make sure you come with enough preparation for the trek. Before the trek date, you better do cardio training and exercises such as cycling, trekking, hiking, jogging, swimming, etc.

Note:- If you think of an alternate option for This Trek, you might consider our Everest base camp trek return by helicopter. If you are short of holiday for ten days, you can get 5 hours Everest base camp helicopter tour. If you are here for an anniversary trip, honeymoon trip, or Engagement trip, you can choose the Luxury Lodge Everest base camp trek. Or if you scare with the flight, you can do the Everest base camp trek by land. Probably, this will be a tweetable alternative trip for you.

Three High pass Trek Details Itinerary for 2024, 2025, and 2026

When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), a member of our waiting help staff will meet you there and take you to the hotel by a private tourist vehicle you choose and brief you about the details of the trek. We take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla the following day. After meeting the rest of our crew in Lukla, we immediately begin the 3–4 hour trek to Phakding. The next morning,  we resume hiking. After crossing the Dudh Koshi River, we register our permit number and group information at the Sagarmatha National Park entry in Monju's National Park office. The Hillary  Suspension Bridge is then crossed as we rise to Namche Bazaar. The following day, we will rest in Namche Bazaar, in the Khumbu region. After eating breakfast in Namche, we depart for  Tengboche. Next, our day starts off on the trail through ImjaKhola, after which we continue to  Tengboche and drop to the riverside while traversing a rhododendron and birch forest. Visit a  Buddhist nunnery at Deboche before continuing on to Pangboche. Then, from Orsho, we can see  Mt. Pumori's apical ridge before arriving at the chilly and windy settlement of Dingboche, where we spend the night. The following day, we continue our ascent via the ImjaKhola valley to reach glacier moraines surrounded by massive mountains. We continue to walk for the next three to four hours across the valley, keeping Lhotse and AmaDablam in view, until we arrive at Yak Bible. We go 30 minutes by foot from Bible to Chhukung, where we spend the night. We begin to ascend early in the morning after being acclimated to this altitude.

We have two options:

  • Ascend the hill northwest of Chhukung above the Nuptse glacier
  • Descend the Bible Valley to the high path above NiyangKhola

After a five-hour hike through Kongma La's (5535 meters) trail, we finally depart Chhukung. The descent, the most difficult and complicated part of today's hike, starts after that. Following a hike up the adjacent moraine, we turn north along the Khumbu glacier's trail and eventually arrive in Lobuche, where we spend the night. Then we head towards Gorakshep. The trail passes past the Khumbu Glacier's lateral moraine before reaching Gorakshep. We were able to see Kalapatthar after ascending to the summit of the Changri glacier. We shall then arrive in  Gorakshep. After passing via Gorakshep Lake, we continue on the route to Everest base. This is the goal of our journey. The next day, we spend the night in Gorakshep after returning on foot. After several hours of walking, we reach Kala Patthar.

The next day, we transverse through Dzongla.  We will then climb towards Thagnak and stay there overnight. We leave in the early morning and continue the path via the Ngozumpa glacier. Finally, we arrive at Gokyo village. We stay there for one day and two nights to relax. We stay in Gokyo valley to relax toward the conclusion of our second week of hiking.

Following that, we set off on foot early in the morning for Renjola Pass.  We divert from the main Gokyo Valley trail to follow Dudh Pokhari's Renjo la route. In order to go to Angladumba Tsho, the trail then continues down the stairs. We arrive in Marlung after an hour of walking. The following day, we proceed according to the established path, which is a drop from Marlung to Thame. We cross the Bhote Koshi and descend to Taranga before arriving at  LangmucheKhola. We then go over the bridge to Same. We descend the steep path and arrive at the Thamo settlement. We then arrive at Phurte. We finally arrive at Namche. On the next day, we depart from Namche and arrive in Lukla. Then we will take an early morning flight to Kathmandu. Three hours prior to the flight's scheduled departure time, a drop-off in a private tourist vehicle is arranged from the hotel to the airport. By selecting a different curriculum, you can potentially lengthen your trip.

Getting acclimatized to this height, we start to ascend early in the morning.

We can either take a climb over the hill northwest of chhukung over the Nuptse glacier; the other option is to walk down the valley of Bible than to the high trail above NiyangKhola. On walking further, we can have a stunning view of the Island peak valley and the jagged ridge of AmphuLapcha. On ascending along the east side of NiyangKhola valley through a stony trail, we reach a wide basin with frozen lakes. Finally, we leave Chhukung after a 5-hour walk through Kongma La's (5535 meters) path. We get to the top to see the prayer flags fluttering to mark the pass at the ridge. Then, the descent begins, which is a complex and challenging experience to today's trek. We then climb the moraine on the far side, then turn north through the trail of the Khumbu glacier, which finally leads to today's final destination: Lobuche, where we stay overnight.

On climbing the top of Changri glacier, we caught the sight of Kalapatthar, a green knoll beneath Mt. Pumori.

We then take the trail to Everest base camp through once Gorakshep Lake and reach the Indian army mountaineer's memorials on continuing. Upon reaching the Everest Base Camp, we realize the hazardous route of the Khumbu icefall. We can't view Everest as we stand at the base of the peak, but the close-up scene of Nuptse, Khumbutse is no less enchanting experience that stands tall above the bright-colored tents of the mountaineers.

Towards the end of the second week of our trek, we stay to rest in Gokyo valley.

The fourth lake is 3 Km north of Gokyo, with its high cliffs and peaks rising above it. The trail continues to the fifth turquoise blue shimmering lake, the biggest.

Enjoy a wide range of food, including local grains like Buckwheat & Millet and imported products such as noodles, spaghetti & pizza.

What Will Be Additional Expenses Rather than Package Cost?

Additional expenses besides the package cost include personal expenses and miscellaneous costs. Here is more in detailed about the additional expenses than the package cost below:

  1. Snacks, Bakery Items and Extra meals: While main meals are typically covered, indulging in bakery treats during acclimatisation hikes in places like Namche Bazaar or Gokyo can incur extra costs. Travellers often spend on personal preferences like snacks or special dietary items, which are not part of the package. Be mindful of these additional expenses during your trekking adventure.
  2. Add on luxury accommodations: Our package includes the basic tea house accommodations. However, if you in the middle of the trek decide to upgrade your accommodations this add-on opulence option will not be included in the package cost. 
  3. Drinks: Other charges, such as beverages – especially drinks that are alcoholic and sometimes hot chocolate or specialty coffees are usually not included in the cost of the package. 
  4. Drinking water: If you get thirsty on your route, there are three options with different prices that don’t contribute to your billing. First, one can purchase water filters and purifiers for safe drinking while travelling to Everest. Using these options promotes sustainable trekking. Furthermore, being an affordable alternative, bottled one will cost around $3 to $ 5 per bottle. For warm drinking water, you can pay an additional dollar or two in tea houses along the way. 
  5. Wifi Services: Besides the package cost, wifi charges also represent one of the expenses that adds as an additional expense for journeyers. Some villages in the Everest Three Pass trek do provide unlimited wifi which can be accessed cheaply at just around $1-$5 US in Different places of Everest territory like Lukla, Phakding, Dole, and Namche Bazaar, et cetera all over the place.
  6. Hot Showers: You will stay overnight in normal tea houses, and all the tea houses incur extra costs for facilities like hot showers. Travellers may use this hot shower till Gorakshep village near base camp. In most places, you’ll have a gas geyser and shower in the room. In other locations, they sometimes provide hot water in a bucket. You must pay for a hot shower on the Everest trekking route. The hot shower costs about $ 1-5 per application. The price of the hot shower increases with location height. Carry a quick-drying towel since it may not be in the local tea houses.
  7. Laundry Services: If you find it challenging to wash clothes manually, Laundry Services can come in handy for you. The only laundry services on the Everest hiking trail are those in Namche Bazaar. Wash houses are available in Namche, but one needs to pay a certain amount to use them. The laundry charges are between US $4.0 and US$8 per Kg, including washing, rinsing, and drying your clothes. The laundry services offered to the trekkers on this route include hand-washing your clothes or using simple machines provided at teahouses. The washing can include detergent and water in the process of cleaning clothes. These extra laundry service charges will be an additional expense not included in the package cost. 
  8. Tipping for Guide and Porters: The Everest three-pass trek cost does not include tips for the guides and porters. This will add an additional for travellers. Despite not being compulsory, tipping the guide and porters is normal as one finishes the journey. This can be viewed as a way of thanking them for their efforts. It is a reward for workers that leads to a successful tour.  Thus, it allows you to pay any amount the guides and porters are happy with at the end of trekking in Lukla. While tipping, we recommend that one should give 10% of the total travel package.
  9. Oxygen Cylinder :- Supplemental Oxygen is a necessary safety measure used in high-altitude trekking in any emergency. Although both our guides and porters offer complete emergency assistance, the cost of procuring supplementary oxygen is counted as an extra charge. Altitude sickness may affect travellers, affecting their respiratory system in higher altitudes. Some cases of supplemental oxygen requirement may be spontaneous, with their procurement en route becoming essential for immediate relief. 

It is important to note that this price should not be treated as a part of package expenses, highlighting the necessity for budgeting regarding such health-related needs during the hike. While safety and well-being are the primary focus, we offer a comprehensive travel experience.

What Are Wifi and Charging Facilities On Trek?

The wifi and charging facilities along the path are satisfactory. Some tea houses provide wifi and charging services at a minimal cost, which usually ranges from $1 to $5. Essentially, such lodges improve the trekking lifestyles by providing an opportunity to stay connected while enjoying stunning views of the Everest region

Travellers have two main ways to access the internet while trekking.

  1. Everest Link wifi Card: The largest internet provider in the Khumbu region is Everest Link. Wifi cards are available in many tea houses and lodges on the trail. The prices range between NPR 500 ($4) to NPR 2,000($1O). In most cases, the quality of the connection drops when travelling up in altitude and at peak times, mainly because there are numerous users connected.
  2. Ncell or NTC Data Packages: If you have a Nepal's local SIM like Ncell SIM card or NTC, then you can buy data packages for minimal cost starting from Rs. 12. However, network coverage is very irregular and almost nonexistent above Namche Bazaar.

While communal areas in some tea houses have charging stations, an extra fee might be charged. Carrying a power bank guarantees that the electronic gadgets are fully charged at all times during the expedition.

How Can I Prepare for Everest Three Pass Trek?

Starting the Everest Three Pass trip requires a lot of preparation, especially because there are difficult routes through the Himalayas. If you have experience in high-altitude hiking, your chances of making a successful travel increase. Why? This trek involves 5-7 hour long walks for over three weeks. 

It does not matter how much endurance you have; no other adventure sport is like what it takes to amble in the remote Himalayas with so many ups and downs. Also, high altitude poses its own biggest challenge, whereby the oxygen content in thin Himalayan air constantly decreases. To acclimatise, why not consider doing shorter high-altitude walks up to 400 m as well in order to gain valuable experience? 

Considering the fact that not all individuals can visit the Himalayas for several hiking trips, preparations could be made at home beforehand. Start your training with cardiovascular workouts that are considered imperative for the physical needs of walking. 

However, those less familiar with regular exercise should try to begin exercising in the gym a little before their expedition. In order to be successful in overcoming the difficult Himalayan trail through three passes, one needs a blend of physical stamina and mental strength. So prepare, mentally and physically, well enough for the difficult passage still to come. 

How Should I Fit Be To Conquer Everest Three Pass Trail?

You should possess a moderate fitness level for the Everest three-pass trip. If you are someone who carries out activities like gym workouts, swimming, and running or is under the guidance of a physical trainer, then this walking will not be too difficult for you. 

However, if a person has been inactive, then building a fitness level for this tour involves walking 4-7 kilometres daily for at least one month before starting the adventure. 

The Everest three-pass trail in Nepal is classified as moderate since there are no notable technical difficulties. But the height sometimes causes problems with breathing. Walking 6-8 hours a day while bearing a light backpack appears to be the secret to overcoming this problem. 

There are no technical requirements; thus, it is a rewarding adventure for someone who has normal fitness and health.

Is Travel Insurance for Everest Three High Pass Trek a Compulsory Thing?

Yes, travel insurance is now a mandatory requirement for the Everest Three High Pass Trek and any treks in Nepal. In order to enter Nepal, tourists must provide evidence about traveller insurance that is used in case of emergency, rescue treatment, and other similar costs during the entire expedition.

It is highly recommended to obtain travel insurance that includes a medical evacuation and total journey coverage before undertaking risky trips in Nepal. This is especially important when going to altitudes high in remote places where transportation by other means becomes limited. Emergency evacuation is mandatory in cases of diseases such as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) or other altitude-related complications.

In addition, we recommend taking trip insurance in order not only to have assurance but also to safeguard your travel investment from unforeseen events that may happen during or before the journey. Before making a final decision, thorough research on the insurance coverage must be done. Clearly, it is smart to have proof of insurance on you during travels and leave a copy with your family. 

What Transport Options are  available for Everest Three Pass Trek? 

Three transport options are available for Everest three pass journeys i.e. Lukla flight, Heli trip and travelling via road. 

  1. Flight to Lukla: The Everest Three Passes trek is mainly approached by Lukla, which can be reached from Kathmandu via daily flights. This scenic 20 to 30-minute flight, with an operating fleet of more than three airlines, offers passengers breathtaking views. Nevertheless, weather may cause flight delays or cancellations, and therefore, one should plan for more days after the trek.
  2. Helicopter to Lukla: You can enjoy a more opulent ride, if you wish, by taking helicopters directly to Lukla, but only at a significantly greater cost.
  3. Road Access to Phaplu and Salleri: Phaplu has been paved with a road, and attempts are being made to link Salleri with Lukla so that the reliance on air transport can be decreased. This road travel option benefits hikers who want to travel the path once walked by the Everest conquerors. Also, with this, you skip the Lukla flight, which some travellers may find scary to do. 

Altitude Sickness Concerns and Acclimatization 

Another main difficulty in the Everest Three Passes Trek is altitude sickness, which includes a complex set of problems caused by rapid ascent at high elevations. Predicting altitude sickness with high accuracy is not always possible, even for physically and mentally fit individuals. Poor acclimatisation significantly increases altitude sickness risk. However, to reduce this threat, it is necessary to implement the appropriate acclimatisation measures and concentrate on the need for a gradual adjustment of the body with lower levels of oxygen at higher altitudes.

Acute mountain sickness (AMS), which is characterised by symptoms such as headache, nausea, fatigue, and dizziness followed by sleeping problems, may be caused when trekking above 2,500 metres height (8,200 feet ). Most severe cases may result in emergency symptoms such as HAPE or HACE. Because the trek has three high passes- Kongma La Pass, Cho La Pass, and Renjo La Pass proper acclimatisation is essential to avert altitude sickness.

Will I Get Altitude Sickness During Everest Three Pass Trek? 

Yes, there is a chance of you getting mild altitude sickness on the Everest three-pass trek as you will cross several landmarks at a 5000-metre altitude. 

At higher altitudes, mild symptoms, which can include headaches or nausea and a general feeling of discomfort, may occur if you are affected by altitude sickness. But if any breathing-related discomfort occurs, you should tell your mountain guide quickly about it. The guide who will be with you on the three-pass track will be well-trained and certified. Moreover, you can also take an oximeter with you to check your oxygen level as you climb up the high elevations. 

For general symptoms, the guide will determine whether to proceed or stop at that point. For serious complications, one will arrange a helicopter rescue so that one can be flown back to Kathmandu for immediate medical attention.

How To Prevent Altitude Sickness?

Here are some methods you can prevent altitude sickness below:

  1. Consume at least about five litres of water in order to remain hydrated.
  2. Stay away from alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, and don’t consume medicines like sleeping pills when making an ascent.
  3. A 24-hour avoidance of heavy exercise is required when you notice signs of altitude sickness.
  4. Pack some bars and chocolates as they give you the additional energy to climb up the altitude.
  5. Do not eat meat and consume a balanced diet food such as local traditional cuisine. Dal Bhat will offer you good protein and make you stronger.
  6. Upon feeling uneasy or discovering the symptoms of altitude sickness, inform your professional guide, and he will take you to a lower elevation with provision for medical treatment in due time.
  7. Follow your Itinerary and don't skip any acclimation hikes. 

Safety and Security Along the Trail 

Mountain Rock Treks takes the safety of its tourists seriously. During the trail, a trained guide will be with you. Moreover, Please be informed that we will make adjustments or cancel the itinerary in case of safety risks. Here are some tips you can follow to maintain safety and security all along the way. 

  • You can explore on your own on certain days for a certain time. However, remember not to wander far from the guide or your tea houses. 
  • Besides the representative from Mountain Rock Treks, never let your things be carried or shouldered along the route by anyone. 
  • It is also strongly suggested that you should take your valuable items and important documents with you safely. You may also consider securely keeping them in a neck wallet or money belt. 
  • Along the Everest pass route, there is little likelihood of getting a deposit box; therefore, keep them in your bag and lock them. 
  • While you will be provided with a porter to carry your duffel bag, do not leave the important documents in possession of others, and keep them handy. 
  • In the Tea- houses, while sharing rooms, keep your valuable things next to you and store them in a safe place.

FAQs

  • Q1. Will I get mountain sickness on Everest 3 Passes Trek?

    Most probably not, but you can never guess. This is a trek taking you above 5000+ a couple of times. So there are times when you will be in the higher parts of the tour. If you have not acclimated well and have not taken any precautions, altitude sickness can bother you. But if you acclimatize enough, hydrate yourself all the time, trek calmly, take breaks and follow what your guide has to say, you will dodge the sickness. So it all depends on you.    

  • Teahouses are the accommodation on this trek. These locally run lodges provide you with food and meals on tour. You will get a bare room, twin beds, a bedsheet, a pillow, and a blanket in teahouses. The quality of accommodation will lessen as you head to rural and higher areas. Similarly, you will be served food items such as Dal Bhat, Eggs, Porridge, Dumplings, Noodles, Pizza, Soup, Bread, etc., in these teahouses.    

  • You will require Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit and Solukhumbu Regional Permit for the expedition. The Sagarmatha National Park Permit is obtainable for US$ 30 from Kathmandu at Nepal Tourism Office and Monjo's entrance gate. Similarly, you can get a Solukhumbu Regional Permit for US$20 at Lukla.     

  • Cardiovascular exercises and activities are the best options for your preparation for the trek. The activities such as running, mountain hiking, cycling, swimming, jogging, and gym workouts boost your cardio level. That helps you to level up your stamina level and endurance level. Make sure you do these exercises regularly at least 2-3 months before the hike.   

      

  • Well, yes. It is a challenging long trek, so you should do some hard training before the tour. If you are a novice trekker, the movement is seriously a must. The constitution demands you to walk across the Everest Region by climbing the high mountain pinpoints. Thus you will need an excellent enduring physique and stamina level that can undergo all the trek challenges.  

  • Everest Three Passes Trek is one of the most demanding treks in Nepal. This trek demands, on average, 6-8 hours of walking, high altitude gains, steep uphills, rough terrains, extreme weather conditions, and other adversities. Moreover, it is quite a long journey to traverse the entire (Everest) Khumbu Region. Thus, yes, Everest Three Passes Trek is a bit challenging trek.   

  • The trek's highest point that you will touch on this trek is Kala Patthar(5,643m). Alongside, Kongma La Pass, Cho La Pass, Gokyo Ri, Everest Base Camp, and Renjo La Pass are the other lofty points of the trek.
