The 22-days-long “Everest three passes trek with three peaks” follows the Everest Base Camp path before veering off and crossing three passes that provide breathtaking vistas of Mount Everest and the Khumbu region. We will also climb three peaks on the way, namely Island Peak, Pokalde Peak, and Lobuche Peak.
Given its commercial significance, the Everest Base Camp trail is lovely, but the Everest Three Peaks trek shows you much more of the region’s splendor and leads you past that side. This trail leads past the conclusion of another well-liked trip in Sagarmatha National Park, which is the Gokyo Lakes trek.
Trekking the Everest Three Passes with three peaks trek is a top option for action for hikers worldwide. A truly amazing journey of a lifetime is traveling the remote villages of Khumbu, crossing the planet’s three highest passes, and climbing three peaks of the Khumbu region.
Three of the world’s highest crossings are Renjo La Pass (5360 m), Chola-La Pass (5420 m), and Kongma-La Pass (5535 m), which we will conquer along with climbing Island Peak, Pokalde peak, and Lobuche Peak.
All three passes with three peaks are renowned locations for breathtaking mountain vistas and the greatest places to engage in the most extreme adventure experiences. We can see the most breathtaking views of Everest (8,848 meters), Lhotse (8,516 meters), Makalu (8,463 meters), and Cho Oyu (8,201 meters), other important mountain panoramas from Everest three passes with three peaks trek.
The Island peak is arguably the most popular one among the three. It reaches a peak of 6165 meters above sea level and was first ascended in 1953. Viewing this peak from Dingboche makes it look as if its an island in the middle of all the white snow, hence the name Island peak.
The second peak we will be climbing is Pokalde Peak. Being one of the easiest mountains to climb in Nepal, it is a beginner-friendly peak standing 5806 meters tall. Even though the climb is rocky, most beginner climbers can reach the top with a bit of effort.
The third and the final peak we will ascend is the Lobuche Peak. Lobuche actually has two peaks named Lobuche East and Lobuche West. In this journey, we will be climbing the east peak as it is a more manageable climb in comparison.
Your 1st day of the Everest Three Peaks with three peaks trek involves landing at the international airport in Kathmandu and getting escorted to your designated 3-star hotel.
Your adventure to the Everest Three Pass with three peaks Trek begins this day. We’re going to Lukla early on our flight. We will begin our walk to Phakding, descending past pine trees and charming Sherpa settlements, once we arrive in Lukla in approximately 35 minutes. From the Hilary Airport, you can see Kongde Ri and a bunch of lush hills surrounding the airport.
As we cross the final village of Lukla, we will have to get the permit for Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality. From Lukla to Phakding, it will be an easy walk with views of Mt. Khumbila. Once we reach the village of Tadakoshi, we will be able to see Mt. Khusum Khangru.

An hour of trekking from Hillary Bridge takes us to Topdanda, an Everest Viewpoint with views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, etc. The largest settlement on the Everest Three Peaks trek, Namche Bazaar, is the most beautiful stop on the Everest Three Passes trek itinerary.
A successful Everest Three Passes with three peaks trek requires acclimatization, and Namche Bazaar is the perfect location for this. You should spend today exploring and unwinding so that your body can adjust to the increased altitude. A short trek to the Everest View Hotel will help you acclimate. This is a relaxed and scenic portion of the Everest Three Passes trek itinerary.
On the way to Everest View Hotel, you will see Mt. Kongde ri, Khangtenpoche, Pherchermo Peak, Tangerito Peak, Samdur Peak, etc. in the foreground. Once we reach the hotel, its huge open balcony offers views of Mt. Everest, Amadablam, Lhotse, Thamsheru, Tabuche, Cholaste, Nuptse, etc.

It will be an easy stroll from Namche to Sanase but the route gets steep from there. We will climb about 2 hours of steep track to reach Mongla Danda, our lunch spot. After we are done with our lunch, we will descend for 35 minutes to reach Phortse Thaga and walk an easy trail for the rest of the way.
It should take us about 6 hours to reach the destination. On the way to Phortse, we will pass several forests and also enjoy the scenes of the region.

It’s an easy way to Dingboche following Imja Khola.
We will reach upper Pangboche in about 3 hours where the oldest monastery in the Khumbu region resides. The monastery also claims to have a Yeti Scalp, which is on display. Following the trail, we will reach Shamare where we will have our lunch.

Following a hearty breakfast, you will use a flashlight to navigate the peak’s slopes while your knowledgeable climbing guide directs you.
You will need about two hours to reach Crampon Point during the initial portion of this climb. From this point, you will traverse the peak’s snow-and-ice portion in the direction of the top while donning crampons.
You may take in the breathtaking views of the neighboring peaks, including Makalu, Ama Dablam, Baruntse, Chamlang, and Mera mountain, from the summit of this spectacular mountain.

We are going to walk to the Pokalde Base Camp after a leisurely morning meal. We’ll go to the challenging ascending track, and it will take us five to six hours to get to the base campsite. Despite the short walk, we will use it to our advantage to help us acclimate. At the base camp, we can pick up basic ice-climbing techniques.
Beneath the Kongma La pass, next to a sizable circular lake, lies Pokalde Peak base camp. Along with the breathtaking Mt. Amadablam, scenes of the southern face of the Nuptse, Mt. Makalu, and several other amazing summits of mountains in the Everest region, you will also be able to access the peak’s base camp.
As we begin our ascent to the summit of Pokalde Peak, we set off early. This portion of the journey will be taxing because it follows a somewhat challenging stone ascending track. In the end, the route will lead to Pokalde Peak, a rugged, narrow top. It takes around four to five hours to reach the peak of the steep and difficult climb.
As you approach the summit, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the nearby Khumbu peaks. These three mountains are Ama Dablam (6,856 m), Pumori (7,165 m), and Makalu (8,481 m).

It’s a significant day as you’ve arrived at Everest Base Camp. After a hearty breakfast in Lobuche, we will head out on your morning hike and follow the steep path up to Gorakshep, the final town leading to Everest Base Camp.
After checking into the lodge and having a brief lunch, we will travel via the Khumbu Glacier to reach Everest Base Camp. We won’t be needing our luggage at EBC, so we will just leave them at Gorakshep.
We will spend some time here at this amazing location taking pictures to save the memories. Once you’ve experienced the Everest Base Camp, we will return to Gorakshep, have meals at our lodge, and get some early rest.
This day, the walk starts quite early because our goal is to enjoy Kalapatthar’s sunrise view. Please dress properly because we will be walking outside in pitch black cold. Additionally, since the weather is erratic at higher elevations, you might potentially be assaulted by frigid winds.
After several hours of climbing, Kala Patthar’s summit is reached. You will have an up-close look at Mount Everest and other nearby peaks, making for an incredible vista. We can see most of the Everest Region’s mountains from Kalapatthar including the main view of Mt. Everest, Amadablam, Lhotse, Lobuche, Pumori, Nuptse, Lingtren, etc.
We will go to Lobuche after staying a while at Kala Patthar.
We trek the open, flatter trail for an hour from the town of Lobuche. The route to the High Camp thereafter becomes more rocky and steep. We make the essential preparations for the summit bit the next morning after arriving in the High Camp. Using fixed ropes to ascend and descend, the guide conducts a lesson on climbing skills.
We ascend from the High Camp to a crampon point by way of a rocky ridge. Crampon-wearing, fixed-line sheltered mild snow/ice climbing makes up this route. The most breathtaking views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Lhotse, Pumori, Cholatse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku can be seen from both the ascending path and the top of the mountain.
A few hours into our descent from Lobuche, the route divides in two. We will go in Dzongla’s direction on the right. We see monuments and a Buddhist shrine in a faraway place. After that, we go upward and pass Chola Tsho Lake. We resume our trek and eventually arrive in Dzongla after crossing Chola Khola on a suspension bridge.
Regardless of the weather looking nice, be ready for some snowfall on Cho La Pass and be aware of rockfalls. There is an incredible view from the summit of Cho La Pass. Following that, we will descend to Gokyo, which is our stop of the day.
You will go via Khara, Pangka, and the largest glacier in Nepal, the Ngozumpa, where you may enjoy breathtaking views of Cho-Oyu Mountain and Kantaga.
Tracing the path to Gokyo Ri, but we move straight ahead rather than upward. It’s going to be simple to follow because of this sign. For around an hour, there is a fairly gentle ascent followed by a sharp ascent that takes you to the peak. This pass is the simplest of the three.
You’ll start heading downward once again after walking on level ground for around 1.5 hours. It’s simple to descend rapidly because it’s not rocky. Once you lose 1000 meters from the pass, Lungdhen will be reached.
The path to Namche today is primarily downhill. We will be rewarded with breathtaking vistas of snow-capped peaks as we hike. We’re going to stop for lunch in Thame and then head back towards Namche. It will take around three and a half hours to make the downward walk to Namche Bazar, your day’s target.
Following a brief initial descent, the Dudh Koshi River and its branches will be crossed via a number of bridges.
