Everest Base Camp - 3 Passes trek Reviews

Great Support, Great Trip

  • Timothy
“Planning: I scheduled my trek with this tour company in mid-September 2019. The plan was to beat the main portion of peak season. I knew that meant pushing back closer to Nepals rainy season. Upon reaching Kathmandu, the airport in Lukla was closed due to heavy cloud & fog. I had extra days in my schedule and used them up waiting for the airport to reopen. Which did not happen in time for me to continue with my original plan. Throughout this process Mr. Krishna was very understanding and helpful in explaining options and alternatives, so I could make the best choice for a substitute itinerary. Execution: From that point on I cannot speak more highly of how my trek went. My Guide (Nuri) & porter (Gopal) were always taking care of me and ensuring my safety. As we grew to know one another it made the trip even more pleasurable. I learned many things, not only about the beautiful landscapes I was seeing, but about the culture and peoples of Nepal. My sincere thankfulness & Gratitude to Nuri & Gopal In Closing: Based on my own personal experience with this tour company, I would not hesitate to recommend them as a great, friendly, and honest, guide service. One last note: If you are considering a trek in Nepal, understand that being flexible to change can make a huge difference. In my case it meant the difference in between Wonderful or mediocre, I chose wonderful. You see the world not as it is, but as you are. Have a great trek. Timmy”
3 Passes trek with nice views, good weather and good agency

  • Jonas Beck
“We had a really nice time on our three passes Trek. I would definitely recommend doing the three passes over the normal Everest base camp trip as views are much nicer and you see more of the Everest region. Just don't rush the trip too much as you really need the time for acclimatization. Making the trip longer is always the better option then shorter and we have seen quite some people who had big issues with altitude sickness because they went up too fast. There are several peaks you can add additional to the three passes if you have enough time what I would recommend as well. Be careful with the guide you get, at the end it is your trip so he should really adapt to your wishes. Here you have to be strict that the guide is following your wishes and not you his.”
It was a truly memorable experience.

“I did the Everest base camp and the three high passes trek. The arrangements made were terrific and the itinerary planned was great. The guide was a fantastic person, we got to trek together a lot especially after the basecamp hike ended and we went on our own for the three-passes trek. It was a truly memorable experience and I am definitely coming back to Nepal again in the next couple of years for some climbing.”

Everest Base Camp 3 Passes Trek - Overview

Lukla Airport - the starting point of the EBC 3 Passes trek
Aerial view of Namche Bazaar Village - the capital of the Everest region
Trekkers crossing the Renjo La Pass
Buddhist monastery in the village of Tyanboche

The trek follows the lower Khumbu trail towards Everest Base Camp crossing over the three passes making this a comprehensive circuit of the Everest region. Though strenuous trekking at times, you are rewarded with remarkable Himalayan scenery including four of the world's eight highest peaks; Cho Oyu (8,201 m), Makalu (8,463 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Everest (8,850 m). You also get to see the beautiful village of Gokyo and its emerald lakes.

This is all complemented by inviting Sherpa villages, homes and monasteries offering an insight into the quiet and culturally vibrant Sherpa way of life. You have the opportunity to visit ‘off the tourist trail’ tracks if you choose, and you can experience more remote villages and mountainous areas.

Everest Base Camp - 3 Passes - Safety considerations

All trekking agencies available at Bookmundi.com take safety seriously and are assessed on their safety standards after every trek, via trekkers’ feedback. They will therefore go through safety procedures with you during your pre-trek meeting. However, please note the following particulars for the Everest Base Camp – 3 Passes trek:

  • This is a high altitude trek and therefore careful acclimatization is needed. Ensure acclimatization days are taken during the trek to avoid altitude sickness.
  • Please make sure that you are well prepared for the climate for that part of the season. Near EBC, temperatures can drop to as low as -20°C / -4°F during late autumn and early spring. The temperature dip even further down during winters.
