About your trip
Known as the most difficult trek in Nepal's Khumbu Valley, the Three Passes trek circumnavigates through some of the most beautiful terrain on earth while crossing three high-elevation passes. In these passes it's common to find ice and snow, and deep snow is possible!
This trip requires solid fitness and endurance, and is recommended only for those who have prior experience trekking.
The Three Passes trek is the ultimate Everest experience. This route takes in all the highlights—both in terms of mountain views and local Sherpa culture—and combines them into a complete journey through the Everest region. Keep in mind, this trek is one of the most challenging teahouse treks in Nepal. Did we mention that already??
Dave Ashley, Mount Everest/7 summits climber will be the trip leader for this adventure.
