Everest Three Passes Trek 14 Days Itinerary

01

Early morning, we’ll drive to TIA to board a short flight to experience an unforgettable and exciting flight to Lukla. At the famous Tenzing-Hillary airport, we are welcomed by the magnificent view of Mount Kongde Ri (6187 m).

We shall then transfer our luggage to our local staff, have our breakfast, and begin our three-hour hike to the tiny, pretty village of Phakding.

We will cross the busy stony street of Lukla town and trek alongside the Dudh Koshi River. In the last village of Lukla, our guide will organize Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu rural municipality permits for the Everest Three High Passes Trek.

The path from here will be a gentle downhill walk, allowing a leisurely start to our trek. Treking through the rustic villages of Chheplung and Chaurikharka, we arrive at Thadokoshi, which greets us with the stunning view of Mount Kusum Kangaru (6367m).

A steep decline below the gigantic boulders will take us to Ghat, which offers us the breathtaking view of Mount Khumbila (5761 m). To get to Phakding, we hike along the river’s eastern bank.

Point to Remember

The high season for trekking in spring and autumn generally deflects Lukla flights from TIA to Ramechhap/Manthali airport. The high-altitude airport is about 4 hours by road from Kathmandu. You will be able to use your private vehicle to travel to Ramechhap.

Note: Flights are scheduled to vary with the passenger load as they are operated by the airlines themselves.

Helicopter Option

Everest Three Passes Trek 14 Days. If you want to experience a luxury, fast service, we can arrange for the services of a direct helicopter transfer from Kathmandu to Lukla at an additional cost of USD 500-600 per head on a rough sharing of five heads. How do you not miss the 4–5 hour road journey to Manthali from Kathmandu, and the loss of a good night’s sleep, in the peak trekking seasons, March–May and October–November?

Trek Preparation & Trek to Phakding

One day before your flight, prepare and pack all your trekking gear. Early morning, arrive at Lukla’s Tenzing Hillary Airport and have a nutritious breakfast. You will be greeted with porters at Lukla, who will be transporting your gear, one porter per two trekkers.

The trek starts from Lukla to Phakding on a leisure walk. The route then becomes a gentle slope at the bank of Dudh Koshi River, and you trek over Chheplung and land on the Everest base camp route. Moving a little further, you will see Ghat, a very small village, before reaching Phakding and getting ready for tomorrow’s journey at Namche Bazar.

Today, we will go into the Sagarmatha National Park and proceed towards Jorsale for lunch. After lunch, we will reach Hillary Bridge within about 30 minutes, where you can view the views of Mt. Tabuche. From there, we will reach a place called Top Danda, where views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, etc, are still the main attraction.

Trip Information of Everest Three Passes Trek 14 Days

Can a beginner go on this trip with you?

No, beginners should not attempt the 14-day Everest Three High Passes Trek. You need to have at least some prior trekking experience in order to complete the Three Pass trek with ease. Novices who are not accustomed to the harsh climate and environment of Nepal’s highlands are always advised to steer clear of this trek.

On a scale of 1 to 10, we would give this trek a strong 7 because experienced hikers view it as moderately challenging.

Best seasons of the year for Everest Three Passes Trek 14 Days

Since the weather is ideal for visiting most places, including Nepal’s highlands, there are a lot of trekkers and tourists in the country during the fall and spring seasons. The lack of rain and sunny skies are some of the benefits of these seasons. But it can be a bit cloudy when monsoon is near in spring season.

These seasons have plenty of festivities that you can join if you are timely. Do not hesitate to join, the locals will receive you and permit you to engage in the colorful festivals.

You shouldn’t go during the summer and also the winter season. During the summer season, it is a bit too hot for you to trek during the day. It’s not completely impossible, it can be done but you’ll be really sweaty and tired at the end of the day.

On the same note, winter is not without disadvantages. Too much snow and dramatic drops in temperature make it harder for you to trek the trails. Add to this the fact that portions of the trail are difficult to walk as they are and the snowfall adds to their difficulty.

How does the Everest High Three Pass Trek begin?

Lukla is usually where most trekking excursions in the Khumbu region start. Lukla can be reached in a number of ways. Either take a plane straight from Kathmandu to Lukla, or take a jeep to a settlement further down the Solukhumbu Valley near Lukla village and hike there. Flying is faster and easier, but it’s also more expensive and subject to weather related cancellations and delays.

If you have a few more days and want a more authentic experience, you can start your journey further into the Valley. You can see the stunning peak of Pikey and discover less-visited communities while saving money by choosing to trek to Lukla rather than take a plane.

Everest Three Pass Trek 14 Days Difficulty

The Everest Three High Pass Trek 14 days, is a strenuous activity that requires exceptional physical fitness. For this type of route, it is recommended that you have some prior experience hiking and climbing at elevation. Due to the freezing temperatures and rough terrain, you will require specialized equipment such as gaiters, an ice axe, and ski poles.

With daily ascents of roughly 1,200 meters and the potential to trek over 4,500 meters, trekking sessions will last six to nine hours (or longer). If you’re up for a challenge or are confident that you can complete an exciting adventure, you should consider going on this kind of trip.

Everest Three Pass Trek 14-Day Altitude Sickness

One of the worst things that can happen to hikers who travel to the high Himalayan regions is altitude sickness. It is possibly the worst thing because it can force you to immediately abandon your journey, and it can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, or level of experience. To combat this, we will divide the lengthy journey into manageable daily treks and ensure that we travel at a safe pace.

You can enjoy breathtaking views from the Everest View, which is 3,380m, and Namche Bazaar if the acclimatization day is at least.

Accommodation, Food and Drink for Everest Three Pass Trek 14 Days

Accommodation in this region is not the same as you would get in the cities, which is obvious. You will be staying in tea houses that are owned by the locals of the village. If there are any particular accommodation requests, please make sure that you let us know before the start of the trek. We will try to make it happen to the best of our abilities. Accommodation in these Himalayan regions is simple twin-sharing rooms with shared bathrooms and a common dining area.

In the vicinity of Everest, food and beverages are also lacking. As we go higher up the valley, you will discover that the variety of food also decreases. Transporting food items to these far-flung and easily inaccessible areas is really a challenge, and therefore, you will be provided with only the bare minimum of food and drinks. However, you will be able to enjoy lots of varieties at Namche Bazaar.

Transportation for the 14 days Everest Three Pass Trek

You must travel many miles on four-wheelers because this is a lengthy trip. For example, in order to catch a flight to Lukla, we need to get to the airport. At the beginning and end of the trek, we will also provide transportation to and from Kathmandu’s international airport.

Permit for Trekking the Everest Three Passes

A Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, which is available in Kathmandu and at the very end of Lukla, is required to complete the Everest Three Pass Trek. Additionally, you will need the Solukhumbu Regional Permit, which is only accessible in Lukla or Monjo village.

Fitness and trip planning

We strongly advise you to work out for at least a few months prior to the start of the trek because it is a difficult one. The best thing you can do before starting this amazing and exciting journey is to be in good physical condition.

Other routes

Only the first section of the route is an alternate route for this trek. Essentially, you have the option of taking a 4-wheeler for a longer journey or flying to Lukla, the trek’s starting point. This alternate route will take you to the village of Lukla after a few miles of road travel and a short hike.

As an alternative, you can continue on the already lengthy Three Pass Trek by visiting the Gokyo lakes.

Internet and device charging

You can take full advantage of the basic amenities, such as electricity, because this trek mostly follows the route of the EBC trek’s main trail. You don’t need to be concerned about running out of electricity to charge your gadgets. You may occasionally experience power outages, though.

Your Extra expenses for Everest Three Pass Trek

Most of your trekking-related costs are covered by our Everest Three Pass Trek, but there are some things that our package does not cover. Your airfare to and from Nepal, visa fees, insurance fees, gratuities for the crew, additional lodging in Kathmandu, food and drink, desserts, and sweets like chocolate, cake, pie, and pudding, as well as additional baggage (up to 10–15 kg per person) are all included in these additional costs.
