EBC & Three Passes (5545m)
Himalaya’s Most Scenic Trek
Overview
This epic Himalayan adventure combines the classic Everest Base Camp route with three of the region’s most challenging and scenic high-altitude passes: Kongma La (5535m), Cho La (5420m), and Renjo La (5360m). Along the way, you’ll visit Kala Patthar (5545m) for the best view of Everest, explore Gokyo Lakes, and trek through stunning Sherpa villages, glaciers, and hidden valleys. This route is perfect for experienced trekkers seeking a tougher, more remote alternative to the standard EBC trek.
When is the best time to trek?
The best seasons are March–May and late September–November, when the weather is stable, skies are clear, and trails are accessible. Spring brings colorful blooms, while autumn offers crisp views and great conditions for crossing the passes. Winter treks are possible for the brave, but deep snow may block some passes.
