Overview

The Everest Three Passes Trek is one of the most challenging and rewarding trekking adventures in Nepal. This trek crosses three high Himalayan passes — Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,360m) — offering unmatched views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Ama Dablam.
