Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, a 35 to 40 minute flight onto a sloping runway at 2,846 m, then walk down the Dudh Koshi valley through Cheplung and Ghat to Phakding, at 2,610 m. The trail is gentle and mostly downhill past mani walls and suspension bridges, a good introduction to altitude. If your flight leaves from Ramechhap rather than Kathmandu, the day starts with a drive. Phakding has plenty of lodges beside the river. Eat well and sleep early; tomorrow you start the climb to Namche, and the next 18 days ask a lot of your legs.

Everest Three Passes Trek is a 18-day trek in the Everest (Khumbu) region of Nepal that climbs to 5,545 m. Foreign trekkers can find a partner for it on FindTrekkingPartner by posting a trip with their dates, budget and pace. Matches stay private until both trekkers agree, and the service is free. At mid-range rates a licensed guide costs about USD 136 per person over 18 days when four trekkers share, against USD 544 for one trekker alone. The best seasons are Mar–May, Oct–Nov. The Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule requires a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas. Local practice differs (checked 19 October 2026): the Khumbu municipality opted out and issues its own trek card, and day hikes are rarely checked, but follow the rule and hire a guide; confirm with your agency.

Overview
Starts from LuklaPasses: Kongma La, Cho La, Renjo La18 days · max 5,545 m
Best seasons: Mar–May, Oct–Nov · Permits: Sagarmatha National Park entry permit, Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality permit, Travel insurance covering helicopter evacuation above 5,000 m
The Everest Three Passes trek is a full circuit of the Khumbu: you cross three high passes, Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La, and so link the Base Camp, Gokyo and Thame valleys in a single loop. This 18-day plan runs clockwise from Lukla through Namche, Tengboche and Dingboche to Chhukung, crosses Kongma La to Lobuche, reaches Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, crosses Cho La to Thagnak and Gokyo, climbs Gokyo Ri, and finishes over Renjo La and down the Bhote Koshi valley to Thame and Namche. The passes are about 5,370 to 5,535 m and the long days involve glacier-edge walking, rough moraine and steep descents. The reward is the whole Khumbu in one trek, with far fewer people on the passes than on the Base Camp trail. It suits strong, experienced trekkers with a flexible schedule, and a licensed guide who knows the passes is essential in practice.
Is this trek for you?
This is not a first high-altitude trek. You should be fit enough to walk eight to nine hours at over 5,000 m, comfortable with cold and exposure, and ideally have trekked above 4,500 m before. Pass days involve loose scree, snow patches, and on Cho La a short stretch of glacier where traction devices may be needed, depending on conditions. Weather decides whether a pass is crossed, so a flexible guide and a spare day matter. If you are unsure, do Everest Base Camp or Gokyo first and return for the passes later.
The route in outline
Days 1 to 7 follow the main trail to Chhukung, in the Imja valley, with acclimatisation days at Namche and Dingboche. On day 8 you cross Kongma La into the Khumbu valley at Lobuche, and day 9 reaches Gorak Shep and Everest Base Camp. On day 10 you climb Kala Patthar and walk to Dzongla, and on day 11 you cross Cho La to Thagnak and reach Gokyo on day 12. After a rest day and Gokyo Ri, Renjo La takes you to Lungden on day 14, and the trail drops through Thame and Namche to Lukla for the flight home.
Highlights
- Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La in one trek
- Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar at sunrise
- Gokyo lakes and the view from Gokyo Ri
- The Chhukung and Imja valleys beneath Ama Dablam, Lhotse and Nuptse
- Thame and the Bhote Koshi valley, much quieter than the main trail
Permits and rules
You need a Sagarmatha National Park entry permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality permit, and insurance that covers helicopter evacuation above 5,000 m. Follow the rule: the Nepal Tourism Board rule of April 2023 asks foreign trekkers to use a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and in restricted areas a licensed guide through a registered agency is part of the permit. Khumbu is reported to use a municipal trek card instead (2026 operator reports; practice varies), but we advise a licensed guide here too (checked 19 October 2026). See the guide rule by region. For a pass trek, a guide is not just a formality: conditions on Cho La and Kongma La change by the week.
Best season
The passes are usually in the best condition in October and November, and again in April and May. After heavy snow or in winter, Cho La and Kongma La can become unsafe without proper equipment and experience, and the high lodges close in deep winter. Avoid the monsoon.
Acclimatisation
This plan has two rest days in the first week (Namche and Dingboche) and a third at Gokyo. You spend nights above 4,700 m on days 7 to 14. Consider an extra rest day at Dingboche or Lobuche if anyone has symptoms. Never cross a pass with a headache that is getting worse, and be willing to turn back or change direction; the pass will still be there next year.
Pass conditions and safety
Cho La is the most serious crossing: a steep rocky ascent, a glacier, then a loose descent. Start early, move together and follow your guide. Kongma La is longer and involves more moraine, and Renjo La is a steady climb with a stone staircase on the Gokyo side. Carry microspikes, poles, a shell jacket and a hat. Check weather and ask locals about snow before you leave. Weather can close a pass for a day or two, so keep a spare day in the schedule if you can.
Flights, lodges and costs
Plan for delays on both Lukla flights. Lodges are simple tea houses, and food and Wi-Fi get expensive above Dingboche. Carry enough rupees for the whole route; the last bank machine is in Namche.
Packing list
Waterproof boots broken in over many days, layers for -15 C nights, a down jacket, shell jacket and trousers, warm gloves and hat, sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, sleeping bag rated to -15 C, trekking poles, microspikes for Cho La, a headlamp, water purification, and a first-aid kit with blister care.
Training and experience
Prepare for at least three months with long days of hill walking, stair climbing and, if possible, a high-altitude trek beforehand. Practise using trekking poles on steep descents and carrying a daypack for eight to nine hours. If you have not worn microspikes before, practise putting them on and walking on snow or ice. Mental preparation matters too: pass days start in the dark and are physically and emotionally demanding.
The plan at a glance
Days 1 to 7 take you from Lukla to Chhukung, with rest days at Namche (day 3) and Dingboche (day 6). Day 8 crosses Kongma La to Lobuche, day 9 reaches Gorak Shep and Everest Base Camp, and day 10 climbs Kala Patthar and walks to Dzongla. Day 11 crosses Cho La to Thagnak, day 12 reaches Gokyo, and day 13 is a rest day with Gokyo Ri. Day 14 crosses Renjo La to Lungden, and days 15 to 17 descend through Thame and Namche to Lukla, with the flight on day 18.
Clockwise or anticlockwise?
Most itineraries run clockwise, as here, because the first pass, Kongma La, comes after good acclimatisation, and the steep eastern side of Cho La is climbed rather than descended. Going anticlockwise puts Renjo La first, which can be hard on acclimatisation. Your guide may reverse the route in poor weather or after snow.
Practical tips from the trail
- Check the weather and recent snow with lodge owners the evening before each pass.
- Start pass days well before dawn, and aim to be over the top by late morning.
- Carry microspikes, poles, goggles and spare gloves, and keep a snack within reach.
- Share your pace with your guide: slow and steady beats a fast start.
- Keep an eye on every member of your group. Altitude sickness can change quickly.
- If you feel unwell at Dzongla or Thagnak, consider waiting a day or descending, because the passes are not places to improvise.
Responsible trekking
Keep to marked paths on the glacier moraine, carry out your waste and avoid the fragile pastures. Support the small family-run lodges in Thame and Lungden, and treat your guide and porters well.

Day by day
You sleep 830 m higher than the night before, above the usual 500 m guideline. Take it slowly, drink plenty and watch for headache or nausea.
Cross the Dudh Koshi on several suspension bridges, enter Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo, where permits are checked, and walk on to Jorsale. The last stretch crosses the Hillary Bridge and climbs steeply through pine forest to Namche Bazaar, at 3,440 m, in about two hours. If the sky is clear you may catch a first glimpse of Everest and Lhotse. Namche is the Sherpa trading hub, with bakeries, outdoor shops, a bank machine and a Saturday market. Stock up on cash and any gear you need; the shops higher up are limited and expensive.
Spend a second night at 3,440 m to acclimatise. The standard hike climbs to the Everest View Hotel, at about 3,880 m, for the first wide view of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam, then drops to Khumjung and Khunde, where the monastery and the school make a pleasant stop. Return to Namche for the afternoon. Keep the walk short and the pace gentle, and drink water throughout. Treat this day as the foundation for the passes: if you are not feeling well here, the high sections later will be much harder.
Follow the contour trail above the Dudh Koshi with Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Kangtega ahead. From Sanasa the path drops through forest to Phunki Tenga, crosses the river and climbs steeply through rhododendron and pine to Tengboche, at about 3,860 m. The monastery was founded in 1916 and rebuilt after a fire in 1989, and visitors may sit quietly during afternoon prayers. Early morning and evening bring the best light on Ama Dablam. Himalayan monal pheasants are common in the forest. The lodges are warm enough in the dining rooms, but the bedrooms are cold.
You sleep 550 m higher than the night before, above the usual 500 m guideline. Take it slowly, drink plenty and watch for headache or nausea.
Descend through rhododendron to Deboche, cross the Imja Khola and climb through Pangboche, the oldest village in the valley, with its small gompa. The trees thin out above Somare and the valley widens into yak pastures, stone-walled fields and views of Ama Dablam. After Orsho the path drops to the river, climbs a final slope and reaches Dingboche at 4,410 m. Barley and potatoes grow in walled fields here, and the wind picks up in the afternoon. Settle in, drink plenty of water and keep warm; tomorrow is a rest day that matters.
A rest and acclimatisation day. Most groups climb the ridge toward Nangkartshang, reaching around 5,000 m for views of Makalu, Lhotse and the valley up to Chhukung, then return to sleep at 4,410 m. If you feel off, rest in the village instead. This is the last easy chance to adjust before crossing three passes, so be honest with yourself and your guide about headaches, sleep and appetite. Spend the afternoon washing clothes, charging devices and eating well. Check your boots and equipment for Kongma La, which is still two days away.
A short walk up the Imja valley to Chhukung, at 4,730 m, with Ama Dablam, Nuptse and Lhotse close on either side. The path climbs gradually through Bibre and along the moraine, with Island Peak ahead. Chhukung is a small cluster of lodges at the end of the valley and has a bakery that trekkers like. In the afternoon, rest or walk part of the way up Chhukung Ri if you feel strong, though many keep their legs fresh for Kongma La. Check the weather and the pass conditions with your guide and the lodge owners.
The first pass: a long day over Kongma La, at 5,535 m. Start before dawn and climb the moraine and scree above Chhukung to the first col, then cross a high basin with views of Makalu and Island Peak before the steep final ascent to the top. The descent is over loose rock to the Khumbu Glacier, where the route crosses ice-covered moraine to the lodges at Lobuche, at 4,940 m. It takes eight to nine hours and it is cold and windy at the top. Go slowly and keep your group together; this is the hardest day of the first half.
Follow the moraine beside the Khumbu Glacier to Gorak Shep, at 5,164 m, a cluster of lodges on a sandy lake bed. After lunch, walk to Everest Base Camp at about 5,364 m, along the edge of the glacier, where prayer flags mark the climbers' base. Everest is hidden behind Nuptse from here, but the Khumbu Icefall hangs above. Return to Gorak Shep to sleep. It is a tiring day at this altitude, so walk slowly and carry layers. Eat as much as you can even if appetite is poor.
Climb Kala Patthar before sunrise, at about 5,550 m, to see the sun light up Everest, Nuptse and Pumori. Come down for breakfast at Gorak Shep, then retrace the valley to Lobuche and take the side valley east to Dzongla, at 4,830 m, under the cliffs of Cholatse and Tawache. It is a long day, and you will probably feel tired, but the lower altitude of Dzongla helps. The lodges are small and the evenings are very cold. Check your gear for Cho La tomorrow and get to bed early.
The second pass: Cho La, at about 5,370 m, between Dzongla and Thagnak. Start early, in the dark, and climb a steep rocky path to the top, then cross a glacier on the west side where microspikes may be needed. The descent is over loose rock and snow into the Thagnak valley, and the trail meets the Ngozumpa moraine at the lodges of Thagnak, at 4,700 m. It is a day of seven to nine hours that needs focus, and your guide will judge conditions at the top. If it has snowed recently, you may be asked to wait a day.
A short walk down the Thagnak valley and across the Ngozumpa Glacier, the longest in Nepal, to Gokyo, on the shore of the third lake at 4,790 m. The path crosses a rubble-covered glacier with a clearly marked route, but allow time for the uneven ground. Walk in the afternoon around the lake to look at the water and the peaks. After the long pass days, it is a good moment to wash and rest. Check how your body feels; the next pass is higher than anything you have done in the last three days.
A rest day at Gokyo. Climb Gokyo Ri before sunrise, a steep rocky ridge that takes two to three hours to reach 5,357 m. The view takes in Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu, with the Ngozumpa Glacier below and the lakes laid out along its edge. It is very cold before the sun rises, so wear every layer. Rest for the afternoon, or walk to the fourth and fifth lakes if you feel good. This is your last real chance to rest before Renjo La, so conserve your energy.
The third pass, Renjo La, at about 5,400 m. Climb steadily from Gokyo along the lake and up a stone staircase and scree to the top, where you will have a view across the Gokyo lakes to Everest and back toward Cho Oyu. The descent to Lungden, at 4,380 m, is steep, with a rocky trail and a lake on the left. The day takes seven to eight hours, and the weather is often clear in the morning but windy by afternoon. Lungden has just a couple of lodges. Warm up with tea and eat well.
Follow the Bhote Koshi valley down from Lungden through Marlung to Thame, at 3,820 m. The trail passes yak pastures and juniper forest and goes through Taranga, with views of Kongde Ri behind. Thame is a Sherpa village with an old gompa on the cliffs above it, and the home of several famous mountain guides. The valley is far quieter than the main trail, and lodges are simple and friendly. It is a relief to be lower again, and you should sleep better here. Visit the gompa if you have energy left.
Descend from Thame along the Bhote Koshi through Thamo, where a small hydropower station provides electricity for the valley, and rejoin the main trail near Namche Bazaar, at 3,440 m. The path is mostly downhill with a few short climbs, and the lower air lets you walk quickly. Treat yourself to a hot shower and a bakery meal in Namche after nearly two weeks of high trekking. If you have time, wander the market or visit the museum above the town. Your knees will be grateful for poles on the steps.
Descend the Dudh Koshi valley from Namche through Monjo and Phakding, crossing the suspension bridges, including the Hillary Bridge, and climb a final stretch through Ghat and Cheplung to Lukla, at 2,860 m. Stand on the uphill side whenever a yak or mule train passes. It is a long walk of about seven hours but mostly downhill. Check in for tomorrow's flight with your lodge or agency, and spend the evening with your guide and porters. Tips are customary at the end of a trek and are best discussed with your agency in advance.
Fly from Lukla to Kathmandu on the early morning flight, a journey of about 35 to 40 minutes, weather permitting. If cloud closes the runway you may wait a day or more, so do not book an international flight for the same day; with 18 days of trekking and three passes behind you, a spare day or two in Kathmandu is wise. In the city, rest, shower and repack. If your flight leaves from Ramechhap, add a drive of four to five hours back to Kathmandu.

Frequently asked questions
It is one of the hardest standard treks in Nepal. Pass days are eight to nine hours at over 5,000 m, with scree, moraine and on Cho La a glacier section. Previous high-altitude trekking experience is strongly advised.
Kongma La is 5,535 m, Cho La about 5,370 m and Renjo La about 5,400 m. Published figures differ by up to about 50 m between sources (OpenStreetMap lists 5,535, 5,368 and 5,398 m).
This plan goes clockwise, with Kongma La first and Renjo La last. The clockwise direction puts the highest pass early, after acclimatisation, and Cho La has an easier ascent from the Dzongla side.
This itinerary takes 18 days from the flight to Lukla to the flight back, with three rest days. Allow extra days for weather.
Follow the rule: the Nepal Tourism Board rule of April 2023 asks foreign trekkers to use a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and in restricted areas a licensed guide through a registered agency is part of the permit. Khumbu is reported to use a municipal trek card instead (2026 operator reports; practice varies), but we advise a licensed guide here too (checked 19 October 2026). For a pass trek a guide is essential in practice, because conditions on Cho La change quickly.
Usually microspikes are enough for Cho La, but conditions vary. Ask your guide about the latest snow and ice before you leave Dzongla.
October and November, then April and May. Avoid winter and the monsoon.
