How difficult/hard is Three Passes Trek?

Three Pass Trek is a challenging trek; to accomplish the entire trek a trekker needs to be physically and mentally fit. As the trek will lead you to an elevation of above 5000 meters frequently, so it’s very challenging. To complete the trek one needs to have some physical training before they start. Fitness level and stamina mainly determine three passes trek, so regular exercise such as swimming, jogging, hiking, cycling, etc will definitely benefit a trekker.

Can we trek Everest Base Camp during Three Pass together?

Three Passes Trek includes Kongma La Pass (5535M) , Cho La Pass (5368M) , and Renjo La Pass (5360M) and two peaks climbing Chhukung Ri 5546M and Gokyo Ri 5357M and also the Everest Base Camp 5364M and Kalapatthar 5545M . This makes the 17 days trek a circuit of the Everest region including Three Pass into the Himalayas and Everest Base Camp.

Are there sufficient accommodation facilities in the Three Passes Trek?

Three Pass Trek is a challenging trek and doable, due to the flow of tourists from around the world the region is filled with lodges, tea houses, and some excellent hotels to Namche Bazaar. As the Everest region has diverse trekking areas, but some areas are still remote in terms of modern facilities. Now, normally you will find Wi-Fi facilities in many of the lodges/tea houses (it depends upon the weather as well). Three Passes Trek is all to the Sagarmatha Conservation Area , so there is a restriction on the number of lodges and tea houses to be operated also the tea house and lodges are with a number of limited rooms and basic facilities due to the restriction by the conservation committee. However, to the lower altitude till Namche Bazaar , you can find a sufficient number of lodges and tea houses, as you descend uphill the number of tea houses and lodges diminish due to high altitude.

Can we charge our electronic gadgets in the Three Passes Trek?

Every lodge and tea house in the Everest region has a sufficient amount of electricity facilities, till Namche Bazaar they use a small community hydropower project for electricity but as you climb uphill the lodges and tea houses also use a solar panel for the supply of electricity, by paying a certain sum of money you can charge mobile, camera and other gadgets. However, this charging point will not be inside your room, all the charging points will be at the tea house reception. So charge your gadgets and pay the money, it is better recommended to carry a power bank during the trek into the Himalayas of Nepal.

Do we need special training for the Three Passes Trek?

Three Passes Trek is a challenging trek in the Everest region of the high Himalayas. Your hike will be above 5000 meters this includes three high passes, two peak hiking, the Kalapatthar hike, and the Everest Base Camp hike. All these need some extra stamina, so you need to do some physical training back home before the trek which will help you. Physical exercises such as cycling, swimming, jogging, hiking, etc will help to increase your stamina. There is no difficult climbing in the entire trek but the only point is slow hiking all the way, for this, you need to make sure you are physically and mentally well prepared for the trek.

Amazing EBC trek

I did a private EBC trek visiting Kala Patthar and Ama Dablam base camp with Discover Altitude in November 2024. The trip was fantastic and my guide Teju was amazing! Kumar and Santosh (owner of the agency and his colleague) are super friendly, they greet you at the airport and drop you off when you’re leaving, you get a detailed trip briefing before you leave. My guide Teju was very helpful and knowledgeable, he does the best practices about acclimating to altitude and keeping his clients healthy with constant reminders about proper clothing and using your buff to avoid dust. We got back to Kathmandu without the infamous Khumbu cough! Booking the private trek was a great option for me as I could customize my itinerary any way I wanted and go at the pace that worked for me.
I very highly recommend Discover Altitude, they’re an amazing team and reliable and knowledgeable partners in Nepal!

Amazing EBC and Kalapatthar Trek Experience with Discover Altitude

I recently completed the Everest Base Trek with Kalapatthar, guided by Discover Altitude, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. As a solo traveler, I felt well-supported and safe throughout the entire journey. Santosh, my guide, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the team’s professionalism made it even more memorable.
Highly recommend Discover Altitude for anyone looking to trek in Nepal

Amazing Everest Three Pasees Trek

My journey with Discover altitude trek to EBC with three high passes was Lit. The guide Dinesh Mager was very knowledgeable and caring. I'd highly recommend Discover Altitude Trek for more and more adventurous journeys.

Your search for a trekking company can stop here!

I can’t say enough great things about Kumar and Santosh at Discover Altitude. They set my trip up with minimal notice, even made some custom changes and everything went perfectly. They have great connections for everything tourism in Nepal. If you want a guide to show you around Kathmandu-they’ve got you. If you want to go for a trek-it’s their bread and butter. If you want to go for an expedition at half the cost of western companies with guides whose experience will blow your mind-easy day. Whether you’re planning a trip for next year or next week they will take care of you like family. They took the time to have tea with me and discuss my trip from start to finish over a map, they held my luggage safely while I was in the mountains, and they checked in at possible friction points (like flights) to make sure everything was going well.

I’ve heard horror stories from backpackers who used other companies and there are a ton around here. It was overwhelming for me to pick one, but Discover Altitude was recommended to me so I figured I’d give them a try. This is now the second trip they planned for me. I also recommended them to some friends who did a luxury Everest view trip with them and had nothing but good things to say. You can roll the dice and try someone else, but if you want to take the safe bet and know that you’ll have an amazing trip at a competitive price there’s no other option.

Amazing time on the way to EBC

It was an amazing trip, I had so much fun. The guide was great and very helpful. The trek was challenging but the good positive atmosphere in the group made it fun to cover the distance. Highly recommend!

Great EBC trip

With my friend, we did the Everest Base Camp 9-day trail. The experience was great, though quite intense - but we were well prepared. We saw all the peaks on the way and stayed in nice places with good views and rooms. The views on the way are really great - Amadablan, Everest, Lhotse...
It was a very mind-refreshing and inspiring trip - thanks to Rajesh, our guide, and Bala, our porter!

Everest Base Camp

The Everest Base Camp trek was an amazing experience! My guide, Bhakta, was excellent throughout the journey. He was very informative about the region. He allowed me to set my pace and lead the trek. He was always encouraging, even when the trek got challenging. I have enjoyed his company and learned a great deal about trekking in high altitude. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful human being as my sherpa. I highly recommend him as a guide.

If you want to experience true, kind Nepali hospitality and a great trek, don’t look for another agency.

I had the incredible opportunity to complete 4 different treks with Discover Altitude: Three Passes, ABC, Annapurna Circuit and Langtang. Each time, the experience exceeded my expectations! The owners, Kumar and Santosh, along with their guides are exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. Everything was very well planned for all treks, and I felt safe even at the highest altitudes, thanks to their friendly and supportive guides.

There are many agencies to choose from, and I visited many, but when I met Kumar and Santosh the quality of their personalities quickly became evident. They treated me as a friend they genuinely wanted to support, not just a client, caring only about the money. Even if I hadn’t signed up, they would have treated me the same, not as potential or lost business. This authenticity is why I chose them! This was the only agency where I had that gut feeling, which turned out to be correct. They always went the extra mile. Before each trek, they spent a lot of time going through all the details with me to ensure I had everything I needed and was ready to go. They also checked up on me along the way. During all these times, they truly became my friends!

If you want to experience true, kind Nepali hospitality and a great trek, don’t look for another agency. They are also very competitively priced for both solo and group trips! I cannot recommend them highly enough!
