Tailor your holiday with help from a local travel specialist that matches your requirements.
All the other treks in the Khumbu region since the Everest Three Passes Trek goes all the way starting from a flight to the beautiful Lukla. The trail then moves towards Namche Bazaar, the land of the Sherpas. After that, it continues into Thame, Lungden, and finally reaches the Renjo Pass at 5435 meters.
The Renjo la Pass is a perfect viewpoint, whereas a 360-degree view of all the mountains in the Everest region. Another climb to Gokyo Ri to observe the spectacular views of the pristine snow-capped peaks. Also, the glaciers and the Gokyo Lakes in full view are visible. The trail extends to the Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes, linking Gokyo Valley and Everest Base Camp.
So, it accompanies mind-boggling views of Everest and mountains like Ama Dablam, Pumori, Cholatse, and Khumbutse. Likewise, you will observe the peaks such as Khangtega, Lobuche East and West, and many more impressive mountains.
The third Pass, Kongma – La, is at an altitude of 5535 meters and comes next in the trail, which is an equally rewarding viewpoint. Hence, The Everest Three Passes Trek ends in Namche Bazar, which can be reached by further hike from Chhukung.
The Everest Three Passes Trek is generally best completed counter-clockwise. It's also possible to go clockwise, but not recommended because of the rapid altitude gain while crossing the Renjo. Instead, you can add an extra day from Gokyo to explore the scenic Gokyo Lakes further up into the Gokyo Ri at the glacial valley.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
