Overview
Everest High Pass Trek is a famous trek, set amongst breathtaking high mountain scenery. Everest High pass trek is one of the Challenging and Strenuous treks. You will have the opportunity of doing the best adventure passes during the trek Khangma-La Pass (5535m) Chola-La pass (5368m), Renjo La pass (5338m), and other high lights such as Gokyo Ri, Kalapather, and Everest Base Camp.
Magnificent landscapes, imposing and prestigious peaks, tapering ridges and colorful villages contribute to turning this trek into an unforgettable experience.
From Kathmandu, we fly to Lukla, and the adventure begins as we land at its tiny airstrip. We spend several days trekking through the homelands of the Sherpa people, among the most beautiful mountains. A day is spent at Namche Bazaar, the bustling market town in the heart of Sherpa country, and at Dinbuche a cluster of houses set among the high summer grazing pastures of the region. These rest days allow time to explore further and to acclimatize, an important factor in your enjoyment of the trek.
During Everest High Pass hiking, you will meet friendly Sherpa people, picturesque villages, a great variety of cultures and traditions, colorful festivals, and monasteries. The flora and fauna are other ornaments of the Sagarmatha National Park.
The three-pass trekking is continuously rewarded with dramatic Himalayan scenes, including four of the world’s eight highest peaks; Cho Oyu (8,201m), Makalu (8,463m), Lhotse (8,516 m), and Everest (8,850m), and other mountains. You also have a chance to visit Kalapather (5550m, close view of Everest) and Everest base camp (5364m, Khumbu icefall). After exploring this imaging place, we cross over the Chola-La pass (5368m) to go to Gokyo Valley.
An excursion to the fourth and fifth lakes would be an extra attraction in Gokyo Valley from where the views are great. The Ngozumpa Glacier is the largest in the Nepal Himalayas. The Gokyo Ri (5330m/17487 feet) is considered the best viewpoint in the entire Everest Region. Renjo la pass provides a lifetime memory of panoramic views of Everest and other Himalayan ranges. The Renjo-La Pass route is off the usual beaten track.
At the pass, a great view of the Gokyo lakes on one side, the Rermo Pokhari lakes on the other side, and numerous snowy peaks are in the background, which provides an incredible atmosphere.
After a nice view from the Renjo-La top, the trail descends following Thame valley. We then trek down by making our way back down to Lukla.
