Everest Base Camp 3 Passes - 20 days

$3,470.00

*Booking for a group? Reach out to us for group discount prices*

Already heading to Everest Base Camp? Go the long way home.

Turn the classic EBC trek into one of the Khumbu’s great high-altitude circuits by adding the Everest Three Passes. Leave the main trail at Dingboche and cross Kongma La (5,540m), Cho La (5,420m) and Renjo La (5,360m), linking Everest Base Camp with the turquoise lakes of Gokyo, remote valleys, ancient Sherpa routes and some of the finest viewpoints in the Everest region.

It’s a significant step up from the standard Base Camp itinerary, with longer days, rougher terrain and three demanding 5,000m+ crossings—but for experienced and well-prepared trekkers, it transforms EBC into a much bigger Himalayan journey.

    Day 1/11 - Kala Patthar to Dzongla | 5,545m | 7–8 hrs
    Climb Kala Patthar before sunrise for extraordinary Everest views, then descend and turn away from the standard EBC return trail towards Dzongla.

    Day 2/12 – Cross Cho La to Thangnak | 5,420m | 7–8 hrs
    Take on the second pass, involving steep rocky terrain and sections of glacier that can be icy depending on conditions, before descending into Thangnak.

    Day 3/13 – Thangnak to Gokyo | 4,800m | 2–3 hrs
    Cross the Ngozumpa Glacier and pass the first of the Gokyo Lakes before reaching the spectacular lakeside settlement of Gokyo.

    Day 4/14 – Gokyo & Gokyo Ri | approx. 5,357m | 3–4 hrs
    Climb Gokyo Ri for panoramic views across Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu and the surrounding glaciers, with additional time to explore the lakes.

    Day 5/15 – Cross Renjo La to Lungden | 5,360m | 7–8 hrs
    Cross the final pass of the journey, with expansive views across the Everest region, before descending into the quieter Thame Valley.

    Descend through the Dudh Koshi Valley to Lukla and celebrate completing the Three Passes circuit.

    Day 8/18 – Fly Lukla to Kathmandu | approx. 30 mins
    Return to Kathmandu with the remainder of the day free to relax, recover or explore.

    Day 9/19 – Spare day

    An extra day we like to intentionally schedule in, to give everyone heaps more breathing space in case of inclement weather or domestic transport delays. Think of it as a bonus exploration day.

    Day 10/20 – Departure or Continue Exploring Nepal
    Transfer to the airport for your onward journey—or add another Nepal experience before heading home.
