Everest 3 High Pass Trek

Everest 3 High Pass Trek are the most daring and difficult trek in the Everest region. For those seeking an exhilarating and daring Himalayan trek in Nepal, this is the ideal trekking option. Trekking the Everest three passes offers an up-close view of the unfamiliar landscape, icy altitude, and never-ending personal struggle at extremely high altitudes. Through the three highest passes in the Khumbu region—Kongma La Pass (5535 m), Cho La Pass (5420 m), and Renjo La Pass (5340 m)—you will reach Everest base camp on this trek. You’ll be able to discover the undiscovered areas of the Everest region.

Furthermore, the 1148 square kilometer Sagarmatha National Park is the location of the Everest 3 high pass trek. Plants are absent from this area at elevations higher than 5750 meters, and the vegetation here is quite small. In addition to rare mammals like snow leopards, musk deer, Himalayan black bears, and red pandas, this national park is home to 118 different species of birds.

Likewise, the path winds through a number of lovely valleys and charming villages where you can learn about the Tibetan ethnic group (Sherpa). They are indigenous to the tallest mountains in Nepal. Sherpas build gompas as places for their religious observances. The area’s first celibate monastery was Tengboche. Most sherpas practice Buddhism. Their way of life and culture are equally fascinating. The Lhosar festival is their principal celebration. It takes place in March or February. In addition, they observe a festival known as Mani Rimdu. Usually, October is when it occurs. The Sherpas attach great importance to the festival. The Tengboche monastery has a huge celebration for it.

Sherpas oversee the majority of the lodging options in the Everest region. The people who live in the Namche village are Sherpas. Thus, you will receive excellent hospitality from them when you visit Namche. From the bottom of their hearts, the locals extend a warm welcome to climbers and visitors.

Best season for Everest 3 High Pass Trek

To put it simply, any time of year is ideal for completing this hike, but in particular, autumn is the busiest time of year for travelers from around the globe to visit Nepal. Similarly, it’s regarded as the ideal time because it’s not too hot or too cold and there are a lot of wildflowers in bloom, creating a cool, pleasant atmosphere that’s ideal for trekking.

Since gorgeous flowers bloom and new leaves begin to grow, spring is also one of the best seasons for trekking. The entire area turns green, providing you with clean air and aesthetic pleasure. The monsoon and winter, however, are the second-best seasons for trekking. Trekking during the monsoon season makes the trail more difficult. The path is slick and muddy due to the recent heavy downpours. You have to take caution when walking. Similarly, the Everest region is completely encircled by snow in the winter. Walking and navigating the trails will become challenging as a result.

Foods and Accommodation

The teahouses and lodges serve a variety of foods. It includes continental and Chinese fare such as steaks, spaghetti, noodles, and spring rolls. Additionally, pizza, macaroni dishes, momo, soups, sandwiches, etc. Eating light during lunchtime is preferable because it will help you feel lighter and more at ease while you walk. However, in addition to the traditional Nepalese meal of Dal Bhat, we always advised garlic soup as a natural way to avoid altitude sickness when traveling at high altitudes.

There are a number of tourist-friendly teahouses along the Everest 3 High Pass trekking route, offering simple lodging options. If you pay more, you can get a luxury room in the lower area. The rooms become available on a twin-sharing basis as you go higher. Shower and restroom usage will be shared. There are two mattresses, a pillow, and cozy blankets in a room.

Fitness/ Experience

Qualifications for the Everest 3 High Pass trek include physical fitness level, health, and medical. There is no difficult trekking route on the Everest High Pass. Your typical hiking experience will last between four and five hours, depending on your destination. Therefore, trekkers with heart or lung conditions, or those with chronic illnesses, are not advised to attempt this trek. It is best to stay away from this trip. All hikers with an average level of fitness, however, can easily finish this trail. While not required, it will be advantageous if you have any prior hiking experience or engage in regular exercise.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is required for any trek in Nepal, including the Everest 3 High Pass Trek. The journey involves trekking at high altitudes, which can be hazardous and physically taxing. Make sure your Everest high pass travel insurance covers emergency helicopter evacuation and high altitude trekking, as these can be costly without coverage. Get more information about adventure sports, hiking, and mountaineering, among other things.

Altitude sickness

Above 3000 meters in the mountains, altitude sickness is a common occurrence. Your body tries to adapt to the lower oxygen and air pressure at high altitudes by producing symptoms like headache, nausea, exhaustion, shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping, appetite loss, rapid pulse, and severe dehydration, among others. When trekking in the Everest region, if you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek medical attention right away to avoid complications.

The following advice has been tested by our knowledgeable trekking guides to help you avoid altitude sickness on the Everest High Pass Trek:

• Stop and rest where you are.
• Make sure you’re drinking enough water.
• Do not smoke, drink alcohol or exercise.
• Eating foods and drinking fluids that contain carbs.
