Everest Base Camp - 3 Passes trek Tours in Fall

This trip to Nepal truly lived up to my high expectations. The country’s beauty was matched by the expertise of our guides. Subal, in particular, was outstanding—his quiet confidence and deep knowledge made every moment memorable.

Sumba was a great guide! He was friendly, knowledge and easy to work with. He has a lot of experience and it shows! I’m grateful I was able to have him as my guide!

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.

If you're wavering between this trip and Everest Base Camp and have the time to do this one instead, please, please do it! You get off the beaten track much more and away from the hoardes which you can find on the normal base camp route. It's a physical challenge to achieve the 3 high passes, but the itinerary is such that you have time to acclimatise properly (unlike some companies). The guides, porters and cooks are all wonderful.

WEx organised and led an excellent trip across the three passes and I would recommend them if you are planning an adventurous trip. All leaders, guides cooks and porters were locals and we were particularly impressed how they looked after their cooks and porters. The leader had a consultative and flexible approach to the trip and enhanced the experience. Also the individual welfare of all trekkers was well cared for. No one dropped out, the acclimatisation process was excellent with no one having serious impacts. Overall a truely special experience.

We were recommend World Ex by a friend and I can safely say we'll be doing the same. Our High Passes trek was incredible. Apart from the adventure itself, the team of guides, porters and kitchen staff were exceptional. A well oiled machine that took care of everything so all we needed to do was enjoy our surroundings. Our guides in particular kept a careful eye on all of us and made sure we were safe at all time, communicated well and had everything organised. Our contact at home, Pam, was also wonderful putting it all together for us and answering our many questions along the way. We can't rate the World Expeditions team highly enough. Thank you World Ex!
