Everest Three Pass and Three Base Camp Trek - Essential Information

When is the best time for the Everest Three pass and three base Camp trek?

March-May(Spring) and   September-End November (Autumn) are the best time to do this trek as the weather is clearer in the day with less snow and the evening is pleasant with fewer chances of snowfall or rain. Nature is more lively and beautiful along with the vegetation can be observed properly. The high passes are covered in less snow, making them easier to climb.

Is Physical and mental  Fitness necessary for the trek?

People with good physical and mental fitness who perform regular exercise are recommended for this trek and people with heart disease and other injuries are to be consulted with their doctor before booking the trek as the trek days are long with a strenuous walk over some of the high passes and base camp of Everest region. In addition, high altitude experience is also a plus point.

Why are Extra days important for Everest Trekking?

The weather in the Everest region can change all of a sudden in minutes so sometimes the Lukla flight may be canceled for a few hours or maybe a day or two. You can miss your international flight due to bad weather so having extra days may be crucial when trekking on Everest.

Even if the trek goes as planned you can utilize the extra remaining days for Adventure tourism like  Paragliding, White Water Rafting, Bungee Jumping, world heritage sites at Bhaktapur, Wild Safari, and many more

Three passes and three base Camp treks start from meeting with a guide on the day after your arrival and doing a world heritage sites tour of Monkey temple, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, and Swambhunath around Kathmandu Valley.

Then we trek through different small and big villages like Phakding, Namche Bazaar(3,440m)” Sherpa capital”, Thame, Marlung and head towards our first pass of the trek Renjo-la(5,345m) to reach Gokyo valley on the eighth day.

Then we continue our journey to Thangnak and cross Cho-la Pass(5,387m) another main attraction of the trek and to Lobuche. Now the itinerary of Everest Three passes and three base Camp trek leads towards the world’s highest base camp and return to Gorak Shep on the 13th day. The next day our guest will hike towards Kalapathar to see the glazing golden sunrise over Mt.Everest and return to Lobuche.

Next, we head towards Island Peak base camp and cross the remaining Kongma La Pass. and reach Island Peak base camp on the 15thday and return to Chhukung on the same day. At last, we trek towards  Amadablam base camp through Pangboche village and reach there on the 17th day and return to Namche Bazaar and descend back to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu.
