Overview of Everest High Passes Short Trek – 15 days

Everest High Passes Short Trek is one of the most popular and classic treks filled with adventurous challenges. In this trek to Everest Base Camp the adventure is doubled with another adventure of three high passes – Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La are inspiring.

The experience you will have in this trek will not be like others available in the Khumbu region. The high passes trek is shortened to 15 days that include the passes of Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La.

At that point, conquer the Kongma La (5535m), on the way to Lobuche and Everest Base Camp. Come back to Lobuche and take the long course up the Cho La (5368m) and the downhill path to Thaknak. Cross the Ngozumpa Glacier and set out toward Gokyo: and a rest day to climb Gokyo Ri for a great scene of Nepal’s longest glacier of Cho Oyo and the Everest range.

The western area incorporates the lofty rising to the Renjo La(5360m), somewhere in the range of four hours over the lake for spectacular views of the valley and glacier underneath and various high edges delegated by the Everest Group including the northwest face of Everest.

The plunge to Marulung confronts new emotional scenes. Underneath this town, the trail joins an old Tibetan salt exchange course and proceeds to Thame and after that back to Namche Bazaar; and on to Lukla for your flight back to Kathmandu.

Important Note:

The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where the journey begins, is normally trustworthy, but if the weather is poor, all flights for the day will be delayed or canceled. We will try to get you on a hired helicopter (depending on your interest )if the flight is canceled, but you will be liable for the additional fees, which can range from $300 to $600 or more depending on the number of passengers on the Helicopter.

Some itineraries include an extra day in the trek as a buffer in case of delays, But some itinerary no includes extra days. However, because flights can sometimes be delayed for many days, we recommend that you add a couple of extra days to the end of your trip in case of any delays. Extra days should always be added at the conclusion of the journey rather than the beginning.

Special Information for Lukla Flight

Some of the Peak travel Season The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal may run flights from Ramechhap to Lukla and Lukla to Ramechhap Airport in an effort to relieve congestion at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport.

In this circumstance, for any affected departures, you will have to get up early on Day 01 drive the 135 kilometers (about 4-5-hours) from Kathmandu to Ramechhap Airport, and also return. Transfers in a private vehicle will be provided at no additional cost. We will provide you with the most up-to-date information about flights.
