Everest Three Passes Trek and EBC

Once you reach Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), the Himalayan Marvel Adventure delegate will receive you from there then check-in in the hotel. In the evening, you will meet your trek guide and other crew members then a brief discussion about our itineraries, accommodation, transportation, services that we include, and exclude, and we provide a cap, T-shirt, and bag with our company logo. 

Today we started early and took a morning scenic and exciting flight to Lukla. Once we reach Lukla, we will have breakfast then start the trek from Lukla to Phakding. Ascending towards Phakding will take 4 hrs to reach so we will reach there before noon. Once we reach there we will take rest for some time then have lunch then explore around Phakding village.

After the exciting flight to Lukla, today is one of the important days for this trek. Today we trek to Namche Bazar, which is one of the attraction factors of this trek, and Namche is the “Gate to the Everest”. From Phakding, it takes 6-7 hrs to reach Namche Bazar so we start our trek after breakfast. 

After a 6-7 hrs trek, we finally reach Namche Bazar, where you can get any kind of facility. Then, we check-in into the hotel and rest. Somewhere in the middle of the trek, we have lunch so we take a rest and explore around Bazar in the evening. 

On this acclimatization day at Namche Bazar, we will first explore around the Bazar of Namche and buy necessary items then we hike to the Everest View Hotel from where we will get the pictorial views of Mt. Everest and the surrounding mountain. After that, we will explore the Hillary School, Hillary Hospital, Khumjung village, and come back to the Namche Bazar. 

We will have a brief meeting including porters, guide, and have delicious dinner then take a rest.

After spending two nights at Namche Bazar, we trek to Phortse which starts after breakfast. You will ascend crossing Khumjung village then descend east towards Dudh Koshi River then turn towards the north. The steep zigzags trail takes you to Phortse then stretches your legs and takes a rest.

After breakfast, we climb uphill and leave Phortse with pictorial views of the village. The path is a stone steep slope with beautiful views of Imja valley to Tengboche Monastery. We will stop there to explore the Tengboche monastery. After that, we again walked further to reach our destination Dingboche. 

Since Dingboche is the last village of the Khumbu region, we will take a tour around Dingboche. We will explore Dingboche Monastery, the Sherpa village, and take part in local activities. 

After breakfast, we leave Dingboche and pass by stone-walled fields and Imja Khola valley before entering glacier moraines between the towering Himalayas. The trail then proceeds to Bibre, directly across the valley, while the path ahead divides by icy streams. When we arrive, we can also choose to hike further to a rocky knoll off Chukhung Ri, which offers spectacular views of Lhotse, Island Peak, Ama Dablam, Makalu, and others.

Today is the first pass or one of the exhausting and longest days of the trip. After all, we pass the Kongma La pass, which can be difficult because of the heavy snow on the trail. As it’s a long day, we leave early in the morning. Cross Chukung and gradually begin to climb via the landslide until we reach a grassy hill, from where Dingboche and Tyangbouche are noticeable.  Until you arrive at a big lake, the walk will be smooth, but the last few minutes’ steps might be steep, and a bit crawls to the top of Kongma La Pass. From this point, the surrounding views are magnificent, which swept away our tiredness. After spending some time, we descend, which is more arduous than before. So listen to the guide and stick with him until we climb to the moraine and then walk via the famous Khumbu glacier to Lobuche. 

One of the most important days, the day to step on the base camp of Everest. On this day, at first, we trek to Gorak Shep and put our luggage in the lodge then start to hike towards Everest Base Camp.  Once we reach the camp, we explore around and witness the beauty of the surrounding mountains. After spending some hours there we retrace back to Gorak Shep and take a rest.

Today we trek to Kalapathar for a pictorial sunrise view from Mt. Everest, so we start early in the morning so that we reach the viewpoint before sunrise and we can enjoy the stunning sunrise. After spending some hours witnessing the glorious sunrise view, we retrace back to Dzongla. Take some rest then you can explore around and take part in local activities. 

It will be the most challenging trek. One of the three high passes in the Everest Region is Chola Pass. We need to take a crucial walk to Chola Pass through the tilted glacier. From the ridge, we can get views of Amadablam, Baruntse, Lobuche, and Cholatse peaks. Lowering down from Chola Pass, we will walk down Chola Pass through the chasms to Thaknak. 

Today we walked across the Nazgumpa Glacier. It is the deep glacier system of Nepal and the second glacier system in the world. We will follow the zigzag path that makes the melting snow slippery. We take 6 hrs of a walk to reach Gokyo valley which is famous for six frozen lakes and Gokyo Ri Mountain.

Gokyo Ri has one of the best views of Everest. We get the fifth lake and Kusum Kanguru, Gyangchung Kang, Kantega, Makalu, Changtse, Everest, Pumori, Lhotse, Nuptse, and other mountain views. We then descend to Gokyo.   

One of the main highlights of this trek is crossing the Renjo La Pass, which is quite thrilling and challenging. When we descend towards the remote northern valley via the jagged landscapes and turf, recall us of the Tibetan valleys across the border. The adventure begins slightly uphill into the grassy areas and gets abrupt as we approach our destination. 

From the top of the pass, we get excellent views of Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Gyachung Kang, and Gokyo Lakes. After crossing by Renjo La Pass, we trek downhill into the lush pastures to Bhote Koshi Valley into Lungden.

After breakfast, we walk downhills to Thame. On this day we will visit Thame Monastery, explore the Thame village, and take a rest. 

After breakfast at Thame, we retrace back to Namche Bazar. Once we reach, first we will take a rest for some hours then explore the Bazar. In the Bazar, you can see hospitals, banks, restaurants, barbershops, telephones, and many more. 

Early in the morning after breakfast, we trek back to Lukla passing Phakding village and others. Once we reach Lukla, we take a rest and explore around Lukla.

Breakfast in the morning and say goodbye to the trekking crew and fly back to Kathmandu with the trekking guide. Once you reach, you will be driven to the hotel and take a rest. After that, you can go anywhere as your wish but if you want a guide then we can arrange a city guide for you. You can also go shopping and explore the valley. 

In the evening, we will throw a  farewell dinner for you including the crew and guide. We will exchange our trip experience and have a delicious meal.
