Overview
The Everest Three Pass Trek is a challenging adventure, but the rewards are endless! We will venture into the beautiful Khumbu Region, including the Everest Base Camp Trek, and visit Kala Pathar before tackling not just one, not two, but three high mountain passes. The sense of achievement you will experience from this trek is mind-blowing, and the scenery is equally spectacular.
We will spend time in Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital and gateway to the high Himalaya, before ascending to higher altitudes. Tyangboche is a magical resting place for the night, with panoramic vistas and a wonderful, ornate monastery. We will venture further into this mountainous region, conquering steep inclines and rocky trails before marveling at the views from three different passes.
The Everest Three Pass Trek is for energetic individuals who enjoy a challenge, 17 days of walking, endless panoramas, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Important information about re-routing of Lukla flight:
The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal has issued a notice instructing airlines to divert all Lukla flights to Manthali airport. Manthali airport is located in Ramechap District, which is about 145 km or a 4-hour drive from Kathmandu. This airport started operations in 2019 and has been successful in reducing traffic at Kathmandu airport. Until further notice, travelers will need to drive 4 hours to catch a flight to Lukla and another 4 hours back to Kathmandu after the flight from Lukla. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
