The Everest Three Passes trek stands out as a highly demanding expedition within the Everest region, contrasting with the popular Everest Base Camp trek. This challenge stems from navigating formidable passes: Cho-La at 5,420 meters, Kongma La at 5,535 meters, and Renjo La at 5,360 meters. Crossing these passes requires substantial effort and endurance.
The trek's daily itinerary typically involves arduous eight-hour treks, exerting a significant toll on one's energy levels. As a result, the standard 15-day itinerary is quite demanding, making it less suitable for inexperienced or novice trekkers.
To undertake this challenging venture successfully, a considerable level of prior trekking experience is essential to cope with the rigorous demands of the Everest Three Passes trek.
Actual Adventure's standard itinerary for Everest Three Pass Trekking is 15 days. This most preferred itinerary excludes your Arrival, Departure, and the number of days you stay in Kathmandu. It only includes the number of days from your flight to Lukla to returning to Kathmandu after accomplishing the trek.
On the first day, you'll fly to Lukla and trek to Phakding. On the next day, you'll hike to Namche and acclimatise there for another day. On the following days, you'll hike to Tengboche, Dingboche, Chhukung, and Lobuche via the Kongma-La pass. Further, this trek takes you to Gorak Shep, Everest Base Camp, and Gokyo via Cho-La pass.
To learn more about the detailed itinerary, you can read our Everest Three pass detailed itinerary blog.
The renowned Everest Three Passes trek, also referred to as the Everest circuit trek, is well-known among trekkers for its challenging mountain passes: Kongma-La at 5,550 meters, Cho-La at 5,420 meters, and Renjo-La at 5,360 meters. This expedition encompasses a trek to Everest Base Camp via Kongma-La pass, continuing to Gokyo valley through Cho-La pass, and returning to Namche and Lukla by crossing the Renjo-La pass.
To capture the classic essence of the Everest Three Passes trek, initiating the journey from Jiri is highly recommended. This route allows true trekking enthusiasts to embrace an authentic experience, traversing the hills over several days. The trail leads through Salieri, Phaplu, culminating in Lukla. Commencing from Jiri offers two distinct advantages: saving on the flight cost from Kathmandu to Lukla and the opportunity to tread the path once journeyed by legendary Everest summiteers like Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hilary.

Everest base camp trekking and Everest Three Passes trek have their distinct features.
First, Everest Base Camp trekking is moderate grade trekking. Meanwhile, Everest Three Passes trekking is for experienced trekkers. The arduous trails and longer walking hours make it almost difficult for novice hikers.
