Everest Three Passes Trek-21 Days

Trip Introduction

Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes, and the Three Passes are two most sought after destinations in the Everest region. Here is an opportunity to cover all these destinations in one package in our especially designed Everest Three Passes Trek-21 Days. Be sure to be mesmerized by the turquoise waters of Gokyo lakes, glaciers suspended on the Himalayas. Other important destinations that we visit are the Renjo, Chola and Kongma La passes. Also trek to world's most sought after trekking destinations - the Everest Base Camp.
Another great attraction is the Kalapatthar - a mountain of black rock. The Kalapatthar Top is one of the most sought after vantage point to see Mt. Everest. Experience the unforgettable moments by witnessing an extraordinary natural and cultural landscape. Enjoy the 360 degree panoramic views of above 8000m massifs and other mountain ranges.

We invite you to experience our amazing Everest Three Passes Trek-21 Days package which focuses on adventure, fun, cultural exposure, and not the least, proper acclimatization. The real trekking begins from and ends in Lukla - the gateway to the Everest Region. Other important trekking destinations that we visit are Gorakshep, Tengboche, and the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazzar.

If we are a real adventurer looking for more of a challenging trek crossing some of the most famous high passes in the world, we definitely need to consider Himalayan Glacier's Everest Three Passes. If we are looking for trek slightly less adventurous than this involves suburb views of Gokyo Lakes along with Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, probably "Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo Lakes-18 days" would be ideal for us! Himalayan Glacier's "Everest Base Camp-14 days" itinerary would be perfect for us if we are young, energetic, physically fit, and yearn to hike up to Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar but will have a limited amount of time to trek. If we are a novice trekker and want some easier itinerary but want to visit the Everest Base Camp, Everest Base camp-17days itinerary would be best option.
