Major Highlights of Everest High Passes Trek
Autumn (Sept to November) and Spring (March to May) are the best seasons for the Everest High Passes Trek. The weather is sunny and warm with clearer view.
Everest High Passes Trek is a difficult trek suitable for walkers who can walk up to 6-7 hours a day with a light rucksack. In some days however, we might have to walk up to 8 hours. Walking in higher altitudes has more physical demands compared to the lower ones but it is not worrisome as long as we are averagely fit, have positive attitude and strong determination. It is highly beneficial if we exercise and jog regularly to enhance our strength, stamina and stability. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, blood diseases, and allergies should inform Pinnacle Expedition before booking the trek. We also recommend that you consult your doctor(s) before the trip.
On Everest High Passes Trek, we cross three high passes of the Everest region – Kongma La Pass at the height of 5535m, Cho La Pass at the height of 5420m, and Renjo La Pass at the height of 5340m. The trek also takes us across the Everest Base Camp, climbing the Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri, and tour along the Gokyo Lakes. It also introduces us to the remote valley of Nangpa La and the Sherpa village of Marlung and the monastery village of Thame.Perfect for those looking for a challenging trek, Everest High Passes Trek also gives you an excellent opportunity to get the spectacular view of the magnificent mountains and the beautiful villages of Khumbu region.
