Everyone easily do Everest Base Camp Trek but to do Everest three-pass trek you need to have an adventurous soul. Because this trek subsists in the high Himalayas; and not for everyone to be on those three high passes. The best thing is that this trek can add with Everest Base Camp; and all the viewpoints in the Everest region.
Everest Three Pass Trek is also called Everest Circuit Trek; because the walking trail is a kind of circuit in this region. A daring heart only plans their adventures trekking holiday and chooses this trekking. If Everest Base Camp Trek gives the best mountain view. This trek offers even satisfactory mountain scenery from the passes.
As long as you go deep, you will get a better experience; the same thing applied to trekking too. As long as you climb higher you will get an excellent view of the surroundings. So Everest High Pass Trekking will give you a real lifetime adventure trekking experience in Nepal. Even to do these high passes are kind of basic preparation for the higher mountain expeditions.
Passing through the typical Sherpa villages and Buddhist shrines along the way. Will glorify you to succeed in your journey to the Everest region. The journey will commence after a scary flight to Lukla airport. And then follow the way to Namche Bazar via Phakding, Manju, and Jorsalle.
From Namche, you will have the choice; of which part you want to do first Kongma La or Renjola? Kongma La is the highest one and Renjola is the lowest one to pass. So the choice is yours. But as a professional and experienced trekking guide; I suggest doing first Renjola and then Kongma La. Because you will be acclimatized for the last moment.
