7 Great Reasons to Trek the Three Passes
The Three Passes Trek is a 20 Day long adventure and is equally one of the most challenging and the most rewarding treks offered in the Himalayas. It gives adventurers the chance to visit the ever popular Everest Base Camp, while also taking them off the beaten path to some of the most astonishing (and too often missed) sights that Nepal has to offer. As the name would indicate, this trek takes you through three different passes: the Cho La (5400 m), Kongma La (5535 m), and Renjo La (5360 m) as you traverse across the rich landscape. You’ll take in the glistening Gokyo Lakes, traditional villages, the large Ngozumpa Glacier, and, of course, unbelievable views of 4 of the 10 of the world’s tallest mountains: Cho Oyu (8,201m), Makalu (8,463m), Lhotse (8,516 m) and Everest (8,850m).
