Everest Three High Passes Trek

Everest Three High Passes Trek is one of the most challenging treks in Nepal. The passes include Renjo La (5360m), Cho La (5368m), and Kongma La (5330m). None of these passes are on the Everest Base Camp Trek so the trail will be quiet and peaceful.  The trail goes through the passes via Gokyo Valley and Everest Base Camp.  You will also have the opportunity to climb three peaks: Gokyo Ri (5360m) Kala Pattar (5540m), and Chukkung Ri (5550m).  This is definitely the all-encompassing Everest region trek.
