Everest region

Overview

The land of the Khumbu region is the home of Mt. Everest as well as several other 8000+ meter mountains. It is also a land of amazing adventure. While the Everest region is definitely an adventure, there are those experiences in the Khumbu region very few people ever have. One of them is climbing the three high mountain passes of the Mt. Everest Base Camp - 3 Passes Adventure Trek! We are proud to be able to offer this amazing trip that features the ultimate of trekking adventure.

This trek takes you across three very high mountain passes: Kangma La (elev. 5500 m), Cho-La (elev. 5320 m) and Reno-La (elev. 5400 m). In addition, there is an opportunity to climb to the top of Mt. Kalapathar (elev. 5555 m). Much of this trek is in the wildest parts of the Himalayas where it is said the mysterious yeti resides. While you probably won’t see a yeti, you will see hardly any tourists either on this incredible journey.

The Mt. Everest Base Camp - 3 Passes Adventure Trek also includes some of the more popular places, including Everest Base Camp. There are spectacular monasteries, including the one at Tengboche, which features Mt. Everest as its backdrop. Enjoy the local hospitality at the administrative centre of Namche Bazar. Walk past terraced farms and through colourful stone villages. Sip tea with the Sherpa people and if you like, sample some of the local alcoholic drinks.

This adventurous and challenging trek is not for everyone! It is a strenuous trip that requires a special permit to enter the area. We highly recommend only trekkers with previous experience to join us. Are you up to the challenge?
