Everest Three Passes Trek
One of the most loved trekking trails in the Khumbu region is the Everest Three Passes Trek. The Everest Passes trek is one of the toughest treks in the Khumbu region as well. It requires the strength of physical endurance to cross these passes. The three passes are at an elevation of more than 5000m. The Everest three-pass trek includes Kongma La (5535m), Cho La (5430 m), and Renjo La (5345m). Kongma La is the highest among the three passes. The passes cover all of the Everest region, including Everest Base Camp (5346m) and Gokyo Valley. This is an off-beaten-track trail, so it is not overly crowded like other trails in the Khumbu region. Tengboche monastery, the world’s highest Buddhist monastery, is one of the stops on the journey and a nice place to learn about the culture and traditions of the Sherpa community.
