Everest Base Camp - 3 Passes trek

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.

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.

Completed in late monsoon so managed to get some sporadic, but nice views. This local travel expert handled rebooking flights/hotels when bad weather cancelled the first flight which was fantastic, they are a great facilitating company. Guide was nice but disinterested in the main points of interest. I was rushed when I reached the Kalla Patthar and Gokyo Ri viewpoints which were the highlights of the trip. I would have liked to spend more time enjoying the sights but the guide was keen to finish our hiking days quickly. I also missed out on a good 6am view of Everest from Kalla Patthar because my guide didn't feel it was "good enough" to wake me up for it. Instead, we arrived for 730am and saw nothing but clouds. By the end of the trip, I had to advocate for myself and insist on early starts so I could enjoy the views I came to see, which I felt defeated the purpose of having a guide. Definitely recommend the agency, but hope you get a better guide than me.

We trekked with this local travel specialist. It was our first trek in Nepal , we loved The Everest Base camp 3 passes Trek. View from Kalapathar was spectacular.
