What Is The Everest Three Passes Trek With Island Peak Climbing?

The Everest Three Pass Trek, combined with the Island Peak, is an ultimate Himalayan adventure, perfect for thrill seekers and nature enthusiasts. The highlight of the Everest Three High Pass Trek is the challenge of crossing three high passes: Renjo La Pass (5,388 meters), Cho La Pass (5,380 meters), and Kongma La Pass (5,535 meters). Conquering these passes rewards you with stunning views from Gokyo Ri, Kala Patthar, Chukung Ri, and the Island Peak summit. 

The adventure reaches its climax with the exhilarating climb of Island Peak (Imja Tse). The peak has its fair share of challenges as you navigate through its rocky ridges, snowy headwalls, and glaciers. The ultimate reward is the breathtaking panorama of Lhotse (8,516 meters), Peak 38 (7,461 meters), and Baruntse (7,129 meters) from the summit of Island Peak.

Unlike the traditional path, our trek follows an unconventional route, taking the clockwise route from Namche. Out of three passes, on the first pass, we encounter Renjo La and finally conquer Island Peak. 

Our adventure starts with an exhilarating 30-minute flight to Lukla (2,840 meters), a tiny town located between the towering peaks of the Himalayas. Next, we head to Namche, a lively village nestled among the mountains; we take a break to adjust to the altitude and enjoy the atmosphere. We explore cozy teahouses, visit the Sherpa Museum, and listen to the soothing sounds of prayer wheels. 

On your rest day, your guide takes you to the famous Everest View Hotel. We sip on hot coffee while gazing at the first stunning sight of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Island Peak, Taboche Peak, Ama Dablam, Kangtega, Thamser Ku, Kusum Kanguru, and the holy mountain Khumbila(God of Khumbu) on our hike and feeling its grandeur. 

Continuing our journey, we find ourselves in the tranquility of Thame, known for its serene Buddhist monasteries, before venturing into the remote beauty of Lunde. The trail feels somewhat gentler now, but it changes as we approach the first high pass, Renjo La Pass. However, we receive the rewards of alluring views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, and Cho Latse as we descend to Gokyo Village. 

A well-deserved day off allows us to hike to Gokyo Ri, the chance to explore the jaw-dropping views of Mt. Everest, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Gokyo Lake. Despite that, you can have another mysterious gem: Gokyo has a fifth set of glacial lakes that many of us miss out on. Additionally, you also have a hike to Dragnag, which allows for rest and acclimatization.

Now comes the second high pass, Cho La Pass, which takes you to Lobuche, where we embark on a trek to Gorak Shep. The anticipation builds as you hike to Everest Base Camp, greeted by the awe-inspiring sight of the world's highest peak. However, the adventure does not stop here as you continue on a sunrise hike to Kala Patthar. The sunlight gleaming on Everest and the neighboring peaks creates a stunning sight. These views can be your strength before conquering the third and most challenging high pass, Kongma La Pass, and descending to Chhukung.

Now, it's time for the ultimate climax as we enjoy a well-deserved rest day in Chhukung, preparing for the goal of our journey: summiting Island Peak. After thorough training from our Sherpa and acclimatization, we trek to Island Peak Base Camp, where we gear up for the exhilarating climb. Finally, summiting the Island Peak rewards us with 360-degree breathtaking views, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and surrounding peaks. 

Returning to Namche, we celebrate our accomplishments before continuing to Lukla, reflecting on the experiences gained along the way. Now it is time to end the remarkable journey through the Himalayas and take a flight back to Kathmandu.

What Can I Expect From The Everest Three High Passes Trek And Island Peak Climbing? 

The trek starts with a scenic 30-minute flight to the lap of the Himalayas. After landing in Lukla, the gateway to Everest, you begin your journey, which includes an alluring experience of the Himalayas, as follows: 

Majestic Peaks That Are Your Friends

Throughout your trek, you are surrounded by some of the world's tallest and most iconic mountains. The awe-inspiring views of Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Ama Dablam accompany you along the journey. 

The rugged landscapes and towering peaks create a stunning backdrop, making each step of the trek a breathtaking experience. Additionally, the five glacial lakes of Gokyo and Imja Tsho add to the majestic scenery and reflect the towering giants around them.

Cultural Festival Experience That Leaves You In Awe

Immerse yourself in the rich culture and traditions of the Sherpa people. Along the way, you explore the Sherpa Museum, Maniwals, Stupas, and Chortens, and visit significant monasteries like Khumjung, Tengboche, and Luwadong. 

These cultural landmarks provide insights into the local religious practices and heritage. Also, the sound of the praying monks and the fragrance of the butter lamp offer a peaceful experience. 

Besides, trekking in autumn offers the unique opportunity to witness vibrant festivals such as Lhosar, Mani Rimdu, and Dumje. These celebrations are filled with colorful dances, music, and rituals, a captivating glimpse into the Sherpa way of life.

Diverse Flora And Fauna In Sagarmatha National Park

Sagarmatha National Park is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. As you trek through the park, you encounter various wildlife species, such as the Himalayan Tahr, musk deer, and even the elusive snow leopard. 

In addition, the park is also a birdwatcher's paradise, with species like the Himalayan monal, Tibetan cock, and blood pheasant. 

The lush forests and alpine meadows are adorned with rhododendrons, blue poppies, and other unique Himalayan plants for the journey with a rich ecological experience.

Conquering The Island Peak

Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse, stands at 6,189 meters and is a thrilling climbing experience. The ascent involves technical sections, but the breathtaking views from the summit make the effort worthwhile. 

During the ascent of Island Peak at a 45-degree angle, you can encounter towering rocks and icy walls that lead to the summit ridge. 

You are rewarded with panoramic vistas of the tallest mountain in the universe, Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Peak 38, Baruntse, and countless other towering vistas. The climb is both challenging and rewarding, marking the climax of your adventure.

Crossing The Three High Passes

The trek includes crossing three high passes, Renjo La, Cho La, and Kongma La, which present challenges and breathtaking views. At the summit of Renjo La Pass, you are treated to unparalleled views of Mount Everest, rivaling even those from Kala Patthar, along with stunning vistas of Gokyo Lake.

Cho La Pass is nestled between the snow-covered peaks of Lobuche 6,135 meters (920,127 ft.) and Cholatse 6,443 meters. It presents a challenging ascent, with icy conditions adding to the difficulty. 

However, you are rewarded with stunning views of the majestic Ama Dablam. Kongma La Pass is a daunting climb described as a precarious struggle among skittering stones. The route involves crossing a glacier and a glacier-fed river, culminating in the highest point of the trek. 

Despite the arduous journey, the pass offers awe-inspiring vistas of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. 

How Difficult is the Everest Three-High Passes Trek With Island Peak Climbing? 

The Everest Three Passes Trek with Island Peak Climbing is a challenging high-altitude trek that combines three demanding mountain passes with a technical peak climb. The trek starts on relatively well-established trails from Lukla, but the terrain becomes more rugged and demanding as you leave Namche Bazaar and head toward Thame and the remote northern valleys.

The difficulty increases as you approach Renjo La, Cho La, and Kongma La, all above 5,000 meters. The trails involve steep ascents and descents, rocky and uneven sections, loose terrain, and, depending on the season, snow and icy conditions. Crossing high passes also means spending extended periods at altitude, where thinner air can make even steady walking feel considerably harder.

Another reason this trek is difficult is its combination of long trekking days and significant elevation changes. The route includes sections around glaciers and glacial terrain, while the high-altitude environment can bring colder temperatures and more demanding walking conditions. Proper acclimatization is therefore an important part of the journey, particularly before tackling each of the three passes.

After completing the three passes, the adventure continues with Island Peak Climbing at 6,189 meters. This adds a different dimension to the trek, as the climb involves more than simply walking at high altitude. 

Island Peak climbing is graded at a 2B difficulty level in the Alpine Grading System. This means it's moderately complex and requires a combination of technical skills and fitness. It includes steeper mountain terrain and requires you to be comfortable using climbing equipment and following your climbing guide through the ascent.

Overall, this is not a beginner-level trek. You do not necessarily need previous mountaineering experience, but you should have good physical fitness, strong endurance, and the ability to handle consecutive days of demanding trekking at high altitude. With appropriate preparation, acclimatization, and guidance, fit and determined trekkers can take on the Three Passes Trek with Island Peak successfully.

How To Prevent Altitude Sickness On The Three Passes Trek And Island Peak Summit?

Altitude sickness is one of the main concerns on this route because it reaches well above 5,000 meters and involves several significant altitude gains. Your body needs time to adjust as you move higher, especially before crossing Renjo La, Cho La, and Kongma La.

The best way to reduce the risk of altitude sickness in the Everest region is to acclimatize properly. You should walk at a steady pace, avoid rushing, stay well hydrated, and allow enough time for your body to adjust. Also, following the planned acclimatization days is particularly important before taking on the higher passes and Island Peak.

You should also pay attention to how you feel and inform your guide immediately if you develop symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, unusual tiredness, or shortness of breath. Avoid alcohol at high altitude, and carry any prescribed altitude medication such as Diamox (acetazolamide) if recommended by your doctor.

Best Time for the Everest Three High Passes Trek with Island Peak Summit

We have conducted over 100+ trekking journeys to the Everest region. We prefer the spring and autumn seasons for the ultimate trekking and climbing experience, but the summer and winter seasons also have their charm. 

Autumn (September to November):

Autumn stands out as the prime season for trekking in the Everest region. The beautiful landscape, comfortable weather, and alluring views describe the autumn season in this region, which is also the perfect time for peak climbing. 

The season is right after the heavy monsoon, so the landscape will be green with golden autumn foliage contrasting against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks. Daytime temperatures average around 12°C, while at night, temperatures can drop to about -15°C.  

This season attracts the highest number of trekkers, particularly in October and November, so trails and teahouses can be crowded. We recommend you make your plans for either early September or the beginning of November to face fewer crowds. 

Spring (March to May):

Spring transforms the landscape with a weave of a tapestry of natural beauty and tranquility. The season offers a dry trail, comfortable weather, and clear skies, a perfect time to explore the mountains.

During the day, temperatures range from 5°C to 20°C, while at night, they can drop below freezing, reaching as low as -15°C. The landscape comes alive with blooming rhododendrons that add vibrant colors to the trails. 

The stunning and clear views of the Himalayas all along the trail are a significant highlight of the season. Clear visibility and relatively stable weather are crucial for safe and successful ascents. After autumn, spring is considered the best time to trek and climb, so expect moderate to high numbers of trekkers, especially in April and May.

Summer / Monsoon (June to August):

Summer in the Everest region coincides with the monsoon season, which brings heavy rainfall and occasional thunderstorms. 

This results in a slippery and wet trail that makes climbing and trekking more dangerous, with increased risks of avalanches and rockfalls. Additionally, cloud cover and fog can reduce visibility, making it harder to navigate the trail while also facing flight delays.

While the valleys become lush and green, the views of the mountains are often obscured by clouds. There are fewer trekkers during this period, and the experience is quieter. However, the challenges posed by the weather make it a less favorable time for trekking. For the best view and experience, the Everest Three High Passes with Island Peak is not recommended for the summer. 

Winter (January and February):

Winter in the Everest region is a serene experience, and the landscape transforms into a winter wonderland. Daytime temperatures range from -5°C to 10°C, and nighttime temperatures drop between -20°C and -30°C. Snowfall is more frequent, bringing the whimsical charm of winter to the landscapes. 

However, the extreme cold and potential for snow-covered trails require trekkers to be well-prepared with proper gear and flexibility for weather-related delays. At the same time, the technical skills required and the need for specialised equipment make winter climbs more demanding, with visibility issues due to common clouds and fog.

For your safety and beautiful experience, NTE does not recommend the Three High Passes Trek along with Island Peak Climbing in the winter season. There is a high risk of closing the high passes due to heavy snowfall, and tea houses near the pass can be closed.

Hiring A Guide And Porter For The Island Peak And Everest High Passes Trek

With NTE, your professional trekking and climbing support is arranged in advance, so you can focus on the trail, acclimatization, and the climb.

An English-speaking, government-registered local guide is already included in your trek package. He is first-aid trained, carries a medical kit, and supports you with navigation, pacing, altitude awareness, and day-to-day trekking logistics. The guide costs USD 35 per day, which already covers his food, accommodation, insurance, and salary. You do not need to arrange or pay these expenses separately.

The technical Island Peak section is supported by a professional climbing guide, whose services are already included in the package. His salary, meals, accommodation, insurance, and other standard expenses are also covered.

A porter, however, is not included by default, but you can request one if you prefer to trek with a lighter backpack. The additional cost is generally USD 25 per day, including the porter's food, accommodation, insurance, and salary. Each porter can carry up to 20 kg and can be shared between two trekkers.

Now, tips are not included in the package and are not mandatory, but they are greatly appreciated when the guide, porter, or climbing guide has provided good service. As a general guideline, you can budget around 15 to 20% of the total package cost for tipping at the end of the journey, with the amount adjusted according to the quality of service and your satisfaction.

Useful Information

Tips For A Successful Island Peak Climbing With Three High Passes

  • Prepare with cardio, strength training, and endurance exercises at least 3 to 4 months prior to the journey.
  • Follow a gradual itinerary with rest days to prevent altitude sickness.
  • Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol.
  • Carry high-quality gear, including crampons, ice axes, and a climbing harness for Island Peak.
  • Break in your trekking boots to avoid blisters. 
  • Hire a guide and porter for support and to ensure a smooth experience. 
  • Familiarize yourself with symptoms of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness).
  • Be ready for sudden changes in weather, especially at higher altitudes.
  • Allow extra days in case of delays due to weather or physical exhaustion.
  • Ensure your insurance covers high-altitude trekking and climbing above 6,000 meters.

Transportation To The Ultimate Everest High Pass and Island Peak Journey:

When you book the Three Passes Trek and Island Peak Climbing with Nepal Trekking Experts, the required transportation is arranged as part of your trekking package. The adventure begins with a scenic domestic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, usually taking around 25 to 30 minutes. The short flight is an experience in itself, taking you from the busy Kathmandu Valley toward the mountains and the gateway to the Everest region.

During peak trekking seasons, particularly October to November and March to April, flights to Lukla generally operate from Ramechhap (Manthali) Airport instead of Kathmandu because of increased air traffic. Depending on aviation conditions and regulations, this arrangement can also extend into mid-September in autumn or May in spring.

Ramechhap is around 132 km from Kathmandu, and the drive takes approximately 4 to 5 hours. If your Lukla flight departs from Ramechhap, you should expect an early start, often around 2:00 AM, so you can reach the airport in time for the morning flight. The drive itself takes you out of the Kathmandu Valley and through changing landscapes as the road winds toward the airport.

Once you board the Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla flight, you should expect a small aircraft, mountain views, and a little nervous excitement. As the plane climbs above the hills, the landscape gradually opens into dramatic Himalayan scenery. On a clear day, you can catch glimpses of snow-covered peaks and rugged valleys before approaching Lukla.

The landing at Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla is one of the memorable moments of the Everest Three Passes Trek. The airport sits high in the mountains, and the approach feels very different from a regular city airport. You may feel a mix of anticipation and excitement as the runway comes into view. Once you step out of the aircraft into the cool mountain air, the feeling is simple: the trek has officially begun.

Here, flights are weather-dependent, so schedules can sometimes change due to visibility, wind, or other operational conditions. Your trekking team monitors the situation and helps coordinate the necessary transportation if adjustments are required.

Food During The Island Peak Summit Via High Passes Route

In this Everest region trek, food is generally simple, filling, and designed to keep you energized through long days at high altitude. Along the trekking route, you eat at local tea houses, where the menu offers a mix of Nepali, Sherpa, Tibetan, and international dishes.

In places like Namche Bazaar, you can expect the widest variety, with options such as dal bhat, momo, fried rice, noodles, chapati, eggs, pancakes, potatoes, soups, and different types of tea and coffee for traditional Nepali cuisine. While here, you must also try Tsampa, a roasted barley flour, which is a Sherpa staple. 

If you are craving international flavors, there are plenty of choices as well, including pasta, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and spaghetti served with local mushrooms and handmade sauce. For lunch, you can opt for fried rice with various toppings, rice with dried yak meat, fried rice with cheese and sauce, or a variety of potato dishes. Beverages like tea, coffee, and butter tea are available to keep you hydrated and warm. 

Remember, for desserts, you can find apple pie or chocolate pudding, and a Mars/Snickers roll might be available that can also be purchased separately. Vegetarian and vegan-friendly options are available, and dietary restrictions can be accommodated upon request. 

However, as you move higher toward the Three Passes and Island Peak, food choices gradually become more limited because transporting ingredients to remote settlements is more difficult. Meals tend to focus on practical, energy-rich foods such as rice, dal, noodles, potatoes, soup, pasta, eggs, and Tibetan or Sherpa-style dishes.

Once you reach Island Peak Base Camp, the dining experience changes from tea house meals to a tented camp with a dedicated kitchen team. There are no regular tea houses at the base camp, so your kitchen staff prepares meals at camp using ingredients and supplies brought up in advance.

The menu here is more limited than in Namche or other larger villages, but meals are served hot and are chosen to provide the energy you need for climbing. You can expect practical dishes such as soup, rice, noodles, potatoes, eggs, vegetables, porridge, and other simple local meals, along with hot tea or coffee. Some meals may also include bread, chapati, or canned and preserved ingredients, depending on what can be transported and stored at camp.

Your kitchen crew prepares the food inside the kitchen tent, while meals are generally served in a separate dining area or tent. At this altitude, the focus is less on having a long menu and more on providing warm, hygienic, easy-to-eat food that keeps you fueled for the Island Peak climb. For the summit push, you must carry a few personal snacks such as chocolate, energy bars, nuts, or trail mix.

Safe Drinking Water Options Along The Route

Staying hydrated is essential during this long-journey trek, especially as you gain altitude. Safe drinking water is available along the route, but it should be treated before drinking. Tea houses do provide boiled water for a small fee, while bottled water is available in lower villages but becomes more expensive at higher elevations.

You can also refill your bottle at designated water sources and treat the water using purification tablets, a portable water filter, or a UV purifier. Carrying a reusable bottle or hydration bladder is highly recommended to reduce plastic waste. You must aim to drink regularly throughout the day rather than waiting until you feel thirsty, particularly during long, high-altitude trekking days.

Accommodation During The Island Peak Summit Via High Passes Route

Accommodation on this trail changes with altitude and location. During the trekking section, you generally stay in locally run tea houses and mountain lodges on a twin-sharing basis. Rooms are simple but comfortable enough for a good night's rest, usually with two beds, mattresses, pillows, and blankets.

In lower and more developed villages such as Lukla, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar, you can find better facilities. Some tea houses offer private rooms, attached bathrooms, hot showers, Wi-Fi, and charging facilities, usually for an additional cost. Namche Bazaar has some of the best accommodation choices on the route, so a room upgrade is easier to arrange there than at higher elevations.

As you move deeper into the Everest region and cross into higher, more remote areas, twin-sharing tea house rooms become the standard, and facilities become more basic. Bedrooms are generally unheated, while shared dining rooms may have a stove to provide warmth in the evening. Bathrooms are usually shared, and hot showers and reliable electricity become less common as you gain altitude.

The accommodation changes completely when you leave the tea houses and reach Island Peak Base Camp. Here, you spend the night in a twin-sharing expedition tent, with sleeping mats and your -20°C sleeping bag providing warmth during the cold mountain night. A separate kitchen and dining tent is set up for the climbing team, while toilet facilities are arranged outside the sleeping area.

The toilet at base camp is a basic temporary pit-latrine setup, usually positioned away from the sleeping and dining tents and enclosed with a toilet tent or makeshift shelter for privacy. There are no regular bathrooms or showers at the base camp, so this part of the journey is much more basic than staying in a tea house.

Wi-Fi, Telephone Service, And Battery Charging During The Island Peak And Everest High Passes Trek

Wi-Fi is available at many tea houses in villages such as Lukla, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar, usually for around USD 3 to 5 per use. As you climb higher, the connection becomes slower and less reliable, with little to no Wi-Fi around the high passes and Island Peak. A local SIM with mobile data can help at lower elevations, but coverage is limited at higher altitudes.

Mobile network coverage varies throughout the Everest region. Nepal Telecom (NTC) generally offers better coverage than Ncell along the trekking route. You can buy a local SIM in Kathmandu using your passport and a valid Nepal visa. However, expect limited or no network around the high passes, Island Peak, and remote sections of the trek.

Most tea houses provide electricity for charging phones, cameras, and power banks, usually in shared dining areas. Charging typically costs around USD 2 to 5 per device or charge, while higher-altitude lodges may rely on solar power. Cloudy weather can affect availability, so carrying a power bank and spare camera batteries is highly recommended.

Travel Insurance:

Travel insurance is strongly recommended for the Island Peak and Everest High Passes Trek due to potential risks like altitude sickness, accidents, and medical emergencies. A good policy typically covers emergency medical expenses, including evacuation, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and accidents. Since the trek reaches high altitudes, ensure your policy covers above 5,500 meters, as standard ones usually only cover up to 3,000 meters. 

When choosing a provider, compare policies and check coverage for trekking in high-altitude areas and medical evacuation. Additionally, ensure coverage for altitude-related illnesses and flight and baggage issues, as these are common concerns during the trek. It's crucial to read the fine print and select a policy that meets your specific needs, considering the risks involved in trekking in Nepal.

Nepalese Currency and Payment:

The currency of Nepal is the rupee (NPR or NRs). The ideal currencies for exchange are those of the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Canada, and Singapore, as well as the Euro, any of which can be readily exchanged in either Kathmandu or Pokhara.

Credit and debit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted in major tourist-class hotels, restaurants, airlines, and larger stores in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan, Pokhara, etc. A surcharge of 3.5% is typically levied on all purchases or payments.

ATMs are also very common in Kathmandu and Pokhara, with Thamel being a particular area of focus for their use. Some ATMs only allow a daily maximum of Rs 10,000 to be withdrawn, while others allow for as much as Rs 35,000. A charge of USD 5 is usually applied per transaction, on top of which your own bank may also apply a fee of its own.

Can I Get An On-Arrival Visa in Nepal?

On arrival in Nepal, you can obtain the requisite visa at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, or you can choose the alternative of applying for it at the Nepalese Embassy or Consulate in your home country before departure. The visa is also available at land-based points of entry such as Birgunj, Kakarbhitta, Bhairawa, Belhiya, Nepalgunj, Dhangadi, and Mahendranagar. The Kodari Pass is the access point from Tibet where the visa can be obtained.

While you can use different modes of payment at the visa fee counter, we advise you to bring cash in the following currencies: US dollars, euros, Swiss francs, pound sterling, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, and Japanese yen. Credit card payments are also available nowadays.

As per a recent update, the visa fee costs you the following amounts:

  • Multiple entries for 15 days: USD 30 or equivalent
  • Multiple entries for 30 days: USD 50 or equivalent
  • Multiple entries for 90 days: USD 125 or equivalent
  • You should also have a minimum of six months of validity remaining on your passport.

Everest Three Passes Trek with Island Peak Climbing Itinerary
  • Overnight Altitude:1400 meters/4593 ft.
  • Accommodation:3 Star Hotel

Namaste! A representative from Nepal Trekking Experts meets you at the airport upon your landing with a traditional Nepali garland and warmly welcomes you to the country. From the airport, you are transferred to your hotel, and during the ride, you get your first glimpse of Kathmandu’s lively streets, historic architecture, and everyday city life.

Once you reach the hotel, the rest of the day is yours to relax and recover from your journey. You can take a refreshing shower, order a meal, catch up on sleep, or simply settle into your room before the trekking days begin. There is no need to rush; you can use this time to recharge and get comfortable in Nepal.

If you still have some energy, step outside for a gentle introduction to Kathmandu. If your hotel is in Thamel, you can wander through its lively streets filled with cafés, restaurants, bakeries, trekking shops, souvenir stores, and local businesses. In the evening, Thamel becomes even more vibrant with colourful lights, music, and a mix of travellers and locals.

For a more local experience, you can also walk towards Ason Bazaar, which is one of Kathmandu’s traditional market areas. You can browse the busy local shops, soak up the atmosphere, and try some Nepali snacks or street food before returning to the hotel for a good night's rest.

  • Overnight Altitude:1400 meters/4593 ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast
  • Accommodation:3 Star Hotel

Your second day in Kathmandu is dedicated to trek preparation, with plenty of free time to explore the city and also relax. After a relaxed morning, an NTE representative picks you up from your hotel and takes you to the Nepal Trekking Experts' office for a detailed pre-trek briefing.

At the office, you meet Rajesh, the owner of Nepal Trekking Experts, who walks you through everything you need to know before heading into the Everest region. The briefing covers the trekking route, daily walking hours, altitude, accommodation, meals, weather conditions, safety procedures, packing requirements, and what to expect while crossing the three high passes or climbing the Island Peak.

This is also your chance to ask questions and discuss any concerns or preferences before leaving Kathmandu. You also meet your trekking guide, giving you time to get acquainted and make any final arrangements together.

After the briefing, you can take some time to check your gear. If you are missing anything, Thamel has plenty of trekking and outdoor shops where you can buy or rent equipment, and we can recommend some reliable options. To make things easier, we also provide complimentary trekking gear rentals, including trekking poles, crampons, and a duffel bag. Later, your guide can help you with practical errands such as finding an ATM, withdrawing cash, exchanging currency, or handling other last-minute needs, if need be.

Once your trek preparation is complete, the rest of the day is flexible. You can either rest before the demanding days ahead or explore some of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu Valley. You do not need to visit everything today.

The few sites you must not miss in the valley are:

  • Swayambhunath Stupa: Also known as the Monkey Temple, it sits on a hilltop overlooking Kathmandu Valley. This ancient Buddhist stupa is surrounded by prayer flags, small shrines, prayer wheels, and traditional sculptures. Here, you can climb the steps to the top for sweeping views of Kathmandu.
  • Pashupatinath Temple: Located along the banks of the Bagmati River, it is one of Nepal's most sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites and an important temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. While non-Hindus cannot enter the main temple, you can explore the surrounding complex, shrines, courtyards, and riverside ghats while observing Kathmandu's living religious traditions.
  • Boudhanath Stupa: It is one of the largest Buddhist stupas in Nepal, and a major centre of Tibetan Buddhist culture in Kathmandu. You can walk clockwise around the white dome and golden spire, spin the prayer wheels, and watch pilgrims and monks move through the square. You can also choose to spend some time in its surrounding cafés and traditional shops.
  • Kathmandu Durbar Square: Set in the historic heart of Kathmandu, this former royal palace complex showcases centuries of Newari art, architecture, and craftsmanship. You can explore its temples, courtyards, stone sculptures, and intricately carved wooden windows while learning about the city's former royal history.
  • Bhaktapur Durbar Square: Located in the ancient city of Bhaktapur, this UNESCO-listed heritage site is known for its well-preserved Newari architecture, brick-paved streets, temples, palaces, and traditional craftsmanship. You should take time to explore the surrounding lanes and pottery workshops, and try juju dhau, the rich and creamy yoghurt Bhaktapur is famous for.
  • Patan Durbar Square: Located in Lalitpur, it is renowned for its beautifully detailed temples, traditional Newari architecture, and exceptional stone and metal craftsmanship. Beyond the main square, the surrounding old city has quiet courtyards, artisan workshops, and historic lanes that offer a more local glimpse of Kathmandu Valley life.

You can visit one or two of these sites today and save the rest for after the trek. If your schedule allows, you can also extend your Kathmandu stay after the trek and spend another day or two exploring the valley at a more relaxed pace.

In the evening, we host a welcome dinner with your guide and, if you are travelling in a group, your fellow trekkers. You get to enjoy a traditional Nepali meal accompanied by local music. Additionally, you can get to know your trekking team, exchange travel stories, and talk about the adventure ahead.

  • Overnight Altitude:2610m/8563ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

Your journey officially begins today with a scenic flight to Lukla, the main gateway to the Everest region. Depending on the season and flight operations, you may fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla or travel by road to Ramechhap (Manthali) Airport for your Lukla flight.

When flights operate from Kathmandu, the Kathmandu to Lukla flight takes around 35 to 45 minutes and offers spectacular aerial views of the Himalayan range. For the best mountain views, try to get a window seat on the left side of the aircraft. As the plane climbs above the hills, you may see peaks such as Langtang Lirung, Gauri Shankar, and Numbur, with distant views toward Mount Everest depending on visibility.

The flight itself is an exciting introduction to the Everest region. As you approach Lukla, the landscape changes from green hills and valleys to rugged Himalayan terrain before you land at Tenzing-Hillary Airport.

During Nepal's busy spring and autumn trekking seasons, Lukla flights are commonly operated from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap rather than Kathmandu to reduce congestion at Tribhuvan International Airport and allow more efficient morning flight operations. Ramechhap is roughly a 4 to 5-hour drive from Kathmandu, so you need an early-morning road transfer before catching the short 15 to 20-minute Ramechhap to Lukla flight.

This means your journey can look slightly different depending on your travel dates. Although the Ramechhap option means an earlier start, it is simply another way of reaching Lukla and does not change the trekking route itself.

After landing at Tenzing-Hillary Airport, you enter Lukla, a lively Sherpa town filled with tea houses, trekking shops, prayer flags, and trekkers preparing for journeys deeper into the Khumbu. Here, you meet your porter team, organise your bags, and begin your first day of trekking.

The Lukla to Phakding trek is a relatively gentle introduction to the Everest region. The trail gradually descends and climbs through small Sherpa settlements and forested sections alongside the Dudh Koshi River.

Along the way, you cross traditional suspension bridges decorated with prayer flags and pass through rhododendron and pine forests. Here, keep an eye out for Himalayan birds and langurs, while the surrounding landscape offers early views of peaks such as Nuptse and Thamserku. You also begin to notice the rhythm of Sherpa life, with stone houses, mani walls, prayer wheels, and small tea houses lining parts of the trail. By the time you reach Phakding, you have had your first taste of trekking in the Khumbu. 

  • Overnight Altitude:3440m/11286ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

Today, the trail takes you from Phakding to Namche Bazaar, the lively heart of the Khumbu and an important Sherpa trading hub. The route follows the Dudh Koshi River, passing through fragrant pine and rhododendron forests before gradually gaining elevation.

One of the highlights along the route is the Edmund Hillary Suspension Bridge, which is one of the most photographed bridges on the Everest trail. Before reaching it, you pass through traditional Sherpa settlements such as Toktok and Benkar, where stone houses, mani walls, prayer wheels, chortens, and small monasteries give you a closer look at local mountain culture.

The trail then reaches Monjo (2,835 meters / 9,301 feet), the official gateway to Sagarmatha National Park. At the checkpoint, park officials verify your permits before you continue deeper into the Everest region. From Monjo, the trail becomes steeper in sections as you cross several suspension bridges and climb steadily toward Namche.

As you gain altitude, the landscape opens up, and you may catch your first impressive views of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Kangtega. Himalayan wildlife, including Himalayan tahr and musk deer, can also occasionally be spotted along the forested sections.

After the final uphill stretch, you arrive at Namche Bazaar. You can take some time to explore its lively streets, tea houses, shops, and mountain viewpoints before settling in for the evening. Namche is also where you spend time acclimatizing before heading toward the higher elevations and challenging passes ahead.

  • Overnight Altitude:3440 meters/11286 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

It is your first acclimatization day on the Everest Three High Passes and Island Peak journey, giving your body time to adjust to the increasing altitude before you take on the first of the three high passes. Namche Bazaar is the cultural and commercial heart of the Khumbu region.

You can choose to keep this day relaxed and explore Namche Bazaar at your own pace. You can wander through its lively market, visit the Sherpa Cultural Museum, see the historic Khunde Hospital, or settle into one of the town's cafés and bakeries for coffee and pastries. Along the way, you see traditional Sherpa homes, Buddhist monasteries, prayer flags, yak caravans, trekking shops, and friendly locals going about their daily lives. If your acclimatization day falls on a Saturday, you can also experience Namche's weekly market, when traders from surrounding villages bring goods to sell.

But for a more active acclimatization experience, you should take a gradual hike to the Everest View Hotel. The hotel opened in 1971 and is renowned for its high-altitude setting and spectacular views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and other Himalayan peaks. You can enjoy the panorama over a warm cup of tea or coffee before descending back to Namche.

If you want to explore further, you can continue toward Khumjung Valley (3,780 meters / 12,402 feet) and visit its historic monastery. The monastery is known for displaying a purported Yeti scalp, while the village itself offers a closer look at traditional Sherpa life. You can also see one of the longest mani walls in the Khumbu and traditional stone houses, with views toward Khumbi Yul Lha, which is a sacred mountain revered by the Sherpa people.

So, whether you spend the day exploring Namche or hiking toward Everest View Hotel and Khumjung, the goal remains the same: stay active without overexerting yourself and allow your body to acclimatize naturally before continuing toward the higher altitudes.

  • Overnight Altitude:3800m/12467 ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

After breakfast, you leave Namche Bazaar and take the quieter trail toward Thame, which is a historic Sherpa village in the Bhote Koshi Valley. This section feels more peaceful and remote, with fewer trekkers and a stronger sense of traditional Sherpa life. 

The route begins along a relatively gentle hillside trail before becoming more rugged. You should expect a mixture of rocky paths, stone steps, dirt tracks, and uneven sections, with occasional exposed stretches above the valley. The trail can become slippery after rain and snowy or icy during winter, so trekking poles and shoes with good grip are useful.

The trail first passes through Gangla and Phurte, which are small settlements surrounded by steep Himalayan slopes. You see traditional Sherpa houses, stone-walled fields, prayer flags, mani stones, and small chortens along the way.

As you continue, the route reaches Laudo Gompa, a peaceful Buddhist monastery surrounded by the mountains. The quiet setting provides a glimpse into the Buddhist traditions that have shaped Sherpa communities in the Everest region. You can take a moment to appreciate the prayer flags moving in the wind and the peaceful atmosphere before continuing toward the Thame Valley.

From Laudo Gompa, the trail continues along the mountainside before descending toward the river. You cross a suspension bridge over the Bhote Koshi River. The river runs through the valley below, and the surrounding cliffs make this section particularly scenic.

After crossing the bridge, the trail continues toward Tharno and Samde, passing through open mountain terrain and small settlements. The landscape becomes increasingly rugged as you move farther into the valley, with steep slopes rising on either side. Here, keep an eye on the surrounding peaks as you walk. Depending on visibility, you can see Sundar Peak and other impressive Himalayan summits rising above the valley. 

The final approach to Thame includes another suspension bridge. From here, the trail gradually leads toward the settlement of Thame. Thame is one of the historic villages of the Khumbu region and is known for its strong Sherpa heritage and connection with mountaineering history. 

One of the most important landmarks here is Thame Gompa, an old Buddhist monastery perched above the village. If time and conditions allow, you can visit the monastery and experience the quiet spiritual atmosphere of this remote part of the Everest region.

From Thame, the surrounding mountains create an impressive backdrop, with Sundar Peak and other Himalayan peaks visible from the village and nearby viewpoints. After lunch and some rest at the tea house, you may take a short acclimatization hike toward a nearby viewpoint or Sundar Peak, depending on weather, trail conditions, and your guide's recommendation. The purpose is not to push yourself but to gain a little additional elevation before returning to Thame to sleep lower.

  • Overnight Altitude:4380m/14370 ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

The distance today is relatively short, but the increasing altitude makes today's trek more demanding than the four-hour walking time suggests. The landscape becomes increasingly barren and rugged as you climb, with fewer trees, colder air, and wider views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Leaving Thame, the trail gradually climbs through the valley and passes Thamte, a small settlement surrounded by dramatic mountain slopes. The route is considerably quieter than the main Everest Base Camp trail, and you may encounter only a handful of trekkers or local people along the way.

The trail surface changes between rocky paths, loose stones, dirt sections, and uneven mountain tracks. As you gain altitude, vegetation becomes increasingly sparse, and the landscape takes on a distinctly high-Himalayan character.

Along the route, you pass Kyaro Gompa, which is a small Buddhist monastery. Prayer flags, mani stones, and Buddhist features appear throughout the valley. From Kyaro Gompa, the trail continues toward Hungmo, following the Bhote Koshi River through an increasingly rugged valley. The sound of the river accompanies you as the trail winds between steep slopes and rocky terrain.

You cross a suspension bridge along the way, providing a memorable viewpoint over the fast-flowing river below. The bridge crossings are generally straightforward, but they can sway slightly as you walk, so take your time, especially if the wind is strong.

After crossing, the trail continues through the stark mountain landscape toward Taranga. With every step, you notice the trees becoming fewer and the surrounding slopes becoming more exposed. From Taranga, you continue along the old trading route, crossing two more bridges. 

The trail then leads toward Marulung, which is one of the last settlements before Lungdhen. Marulung has a remote, traditional feel, with stone houses and mountain fields surrounded by enormous Himalayan slopes.

From Marulung, the trail continues through increasingly barren terrain before reaching Lungdhen. As you approach the village, the surrounding landscape feels raw and almost untouched, with rocky slopes, high mountain ridges, and very little vegetation.

Lungdhen is an important overnight stop for trekkers preparing to cross Renjo La Pass. After reaching your tea house, settle in, enjoy a warm meal, and focus on resting and hydrating.

  • Overnight Altitude:4790 meters/15715 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

It is one of the most adventurous days as you cross your first major pass, before descending toward Gokyo Valley. Starting from the quiet settlement of Lunde, you set off early while the surrounding mountains are still catching the first light of day.

The trail climbs gradually at first before becoming steeper as you approach Renjo La. The route follows rocky paths, loose gravel, stone steps, and uneven moraine sections, so a slow and steady pace is important at this altitude. As you gain elevation, Lunde and the Bhote Koshi Valley gradually disappear below, while the landscape becomes increasingly rugged and alpine.

Near the pass, you can look back toward the dramatic chain of Gokyo Lakes and the Ngozumpa Glacier stretching through the valley. Snow patches, rocky ridges, and towering Himalayan peaks create a distinctly remote high-mountain landscape. Reaching Renjo La Pass is a major milestone on the trek. From the top, you are rewarded with an extraordinary Himalayan panorama featuring Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Cholatse, Taboche, Tengi Ragi Tau, Gyachung Kang, and the Rolwaling Himal.

After taking in the views and capturing a few photographs, the trail descends steeply from the pass toward Gokyo. This section can be slippery when covered with snow or ice, while loose gravel can make the descent challenging. Trekking poles are particularly useful here for maintaining balance and reducing strain on your knees.

As you descend, you pass Angladumba Tsho, which is a striking high-altitude lake surrounded by rugged terrain. The trail continues past smaller lakes, including Relama Tsho and Renjo Lake, before gradually losing elevation.

The landscape also begins to change. The stark, rocky surroundings of Renjo La give way to wider valleys, grassy slopes, and occasional yak grazing areas as you approach Gokyo. Finally, you reach Gokyo Village, which is set beside the beautiful turquoise Gokyo Lakes.

  • Overnight Altitude:4790 meters/15715 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

You are up before sunrise today for one of the most spectacular viewpoints on the trek. The early-morning hike to Gokyo Ri is steep and moderately challenging, with thin air making each step feel harder. But as you climb, the Himalayan skyline gradually opens up around you.

The trail begins directly above Gokyo Village, following a steep, zigzagging path made up of loose gravel, rocky sections, stone steps, and uneven terrain. The higher you climb, the thinner the air becomes, so expect heavier breathing, cool mountain winds, and regular stops to catch your breath and take photos.

Arriving around sunrise rewards you with an unforgettable panorama. As the first light touches the mountains, Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu begin glowing against the morning sky. From the Gokyo Ri summit, you stand above a dramatic 360-degree Himalayan amphitheatre. The turquoise Gokyo Lakes shimmer below, while the vast Ngozumpa Glacier stretches across the valley. On a clear day, you can see four of the world's six highest mountains from this single viewpoint.

After taking in the sunrise and mountain panorama, you descend carefully along the same trail back to Gokyo Village, where you can enjoy breakfast, relax, and recover from the early-morning climb.

  • Overnight Altitude:4700m/15420ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

After the demanding crossing of Renjo La, today is a shorter and more relaxed day. The Gokyo to Dragnag trek gives you valuable time to recover while continuing deeper into the high-altitude landscape of the Khumbu. You leave Gokyo Village and follow the trail across the rugged terrain of the Ngozumpa Glacier, the longest glacier in Nepal. The route is rocky and uneven, so you need to watch your footing, but the surrounding Himalayan scenery makes the journey memorable.

As you make your way toward Dragnag, the dramatic mountain landscape remains all around you. The glacier, rocky moraines, and towering peaks create a striking contrast to the turquoise lakes you have just left behind.

The short trekking day is intentional. At this altitude, taking things slowly allows your body to recover and prepare for the next major challenge, the Cho La Pass. Once you reach Dragnag, settle into your tea house, enjoy a warm meal, and take the rest of the afternoon to rest and hydrate before tomorrow's demanding pass crossing.

  • Overnight Altitude:4910 meters/16109 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

Today is one of the most challenging and rewarding days as you cross the second major high pass, Cho La Pass. The route takes you from Dragnag toward Lobuche along a spectacular section of the Great Himalaya Trail, combining steep mountain terrain, icy crossings, glaciers, and some of the finest Himalayan scenery in the Khumbu.

You start early because the trail conditions are generally more manageable in the morning, and the long day requires plenty of time. The route initially follows a rugged mountain trail toward the pass, with the landscape becoming increasingly rocky and barren as you gain elevation.

From Dragnag, you follow the Great Himalaya Trail toward Cho La. The path gradually becomes steeper, and you encounter sections of loose rock, narrow mountain trails, and uneven terrain. The higher you climb, the thinner the air becomes, so maintaining a slow, steady pace is essential.

Before reaching the glacier, there are a few icy crossings and slippery sections, particularly during colder months. Snow and ice conditions vary considerably depending on the season, and some parts of the trail can be covered with hard-packed snow. Your guide helps you choose the safest line and crossing points.

As you climb, you can stop occasionally to catch your breath and take in the changing landscape. The final climb toward Cho La Pass is steep and demanding. You make your way across rocky and potentially icy terrain before reaching the top of the pass. Once you reach the top, the surrounding panorama opens dramatically.

Depending on the weather and visibility, you can see Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Lobuche East, Baruntse, and other snow-covered peaks rising around the Khumbu landscape. The contrast between the brilliant snow, dark rock, and deep valleys makes this one of the most memorable viewpoints of the entire Everest Three High Passes Trek.

After crossing Cho La, you descend across glacial and icy terrain. This section requires particular care because the surface can be slippery and uneven. Stay toward the left side of the glacier as directed by your guide, following the established route and avoiding unstable or potentially crevassed areas.

Once across the glacier, the trail gradually becomes rockier as you descend toward Dzonglha. Dzonglha is a welcome point to pause, have something warm, and recover after the demanding Cho La crossing. By this stage, you likely feel the combination of altitude, cold, and a long day on your legs, so take advantage of the break before continuing.

From Dzonglha, the trail continues toward Lobuche along rugged Himalayan terrain. The route follows rocky paths and open mountain slopes, with the scenery gradually transitioning toward the familiar Everest Base Camp trekking landscape. The mountains remain spectacular throughout this section. Cholatse and Taboche dominate the surrounding skyline, while views toward Pumori and the Everest region become increasingly prominent as you approach Lobuche.

Eventually, you arrive at Lobuche, where you can finally leave the demanding trail behind for the evening.

  • Overnight Altitude:5164 meters/16942 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

After breakfast, you leave Lobuche and follow the trail toward Gorak Shep, gradually climbing through the rugged moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. The landscape is dominated by rocks, gravel, glacial debris, and towering Himalayan peaks, with almost no vegetation at this altitude.

The trail is well established but can be rocky, dusty, and uneven, with loose stones and gradual ascents and descents. At nearly 5,000 meters, the thin air makes the trek feel more demanding than the distance suggests, so a slow pace and regular breaks are important.

After around three hours, you reach Gorak Shep, the last settlement on the route to Everest Base Camp. Set on a barren glacial plain, this small mountain settlement has only a handful of tea houses serving trekkers and climbers. You stop here for lunch and take some time to rest before continuing to Everest Base Camp.

After lunch, you begin the highly anticipated Gorak Shep to Everest Base Camp hike. The trail follows the edge and moraine of the Khumbu Glacier, taking you across rocky glacial debris and uneven terrain. The route can change with glacial movement and seasonal conditions, so your guide helps you follow the safest available path.

At more than 5,000 meters, the altitude is often more challenging than the actual distance. You may find yourself taking a few steps, stopping to breathe, and continuing at a steady pace. As you approach Everest Base Camp, the surrounding landscape becomes increasingly dramatic.

Pumori rises prominently above the valley, while Nuptse forms a massive wall of rock and ice. Depending on weather and visibility, you may also catch views toward Mount Everest, although Everest itself is not always fully visible from Base Camp.

One of the most impressive sights is the Khumbu Icefall, which is a constantly shifting maze of ice towers, crevasses, and seracs that climbers navigate on their way toward the higher Everest camps. From the Base Camp area, you can appreciate its scale without entering the restricted climbing route.

During the climbing season, you may also see expedition teams preparing equipment or moving around the permitted areas of Base Camp. You can take time to enjoy the achievement, photograph the prayer flags and surrounding mountains, and soak in the atmosphere of standing at Everest Base Camp.

After spending time at Base Camp, you retrace the trail back to Gorak Shep. The descent may feel slightly easier as you lose elevation, although the day's long walk and high altitude will likely leave you tired. Once back at the tea house, enjoy a warm dinner and settle in for a well-earned rest.

  • Overnight Altitude:4910 meters/16109 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

Today begins before sunrise with an early morning hike to Kala Patthar, one of the most famous viewpoints in the Everest region. The climb is short in distance but demanding because of the high altitude, cold temperatures, and steep, rocky trail. The reward is one of the finest close-up views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan giants.

You leave Lobuche early and begin walking toward Gorak Shep, following the rugged trail through the high-altitude landscape. The path is mostly rocky and uneven, with sections of loose stones and gradual ascents. At this elevation, every step can feel slower, so your guide maintains a steady pace with regular breaks.

Along the way, you pass the Everest Pyramid, a distinctive glass-and-steel research station used for high-altitude scientific and environmental research. Its unusual structure stands out against the otherwise stark Himalayan landscape. From here, the trail continues toward Gorak Shep before the final climb to Kala Patthar. As you ascend, the views become increasingly expansive, with Pumori, Nuptse, Changtse, Lingtren, and the Everest massif dominating the horizon.

The final climb to Kala Patthar is steep and rocky, and the cold before sunrise can be intense. However, reaching the viewpoint in time for sunrise makes the effort worthwhile. As the first sunlight reaches the Himalayan peaks, Mount Everest and the surrounding mountains gradually turn shades of gold and pink. The panoramic view stretches across the Khumbu Valley, with Everest rising behind the dramatic Nuptse-Lhotse ridge.

Take your time to enjoy the scenery and photographs, but remember that you are at extreme altitude. After descending from Kala Patthar, you retrace the trail toward Gorak Shep and then continue toward Lobuche. This section gives you a different perspective of the landscape as you walk beside the Khumbu Glacier, which is one of the most prominent glacial features of the Everest region.

The trail runs through a stark landscape of rocks, glacial debris, frozen streams, and towering Himalayan peaks. The immense Khumbu Glacier and surrounding ice-covered mountains make the walk feel distinctly high-alpine.

You also cross Lobuche Pass as you continue toward Lobuche. The terrain remains rocky and uneven, so careful footing is important, particularly where loose stones or ice are present. Depending on the season and weather, some sections may be snow-covered or slippery.

As you approach Lobuche, you once again see the dramatic peaks surrounding the valley. After the early start and high-altitude hike, reaching the tea house feels especially satisfying.

  • Overnight Altitude:4730 meters/15518 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

The trail climbs out of Lobuche into a rugged high-altitude landscape of rocky ridges, glacial moraine, and sweeping views of the Khumbu Glacier. The ascent is demanding, so you need to maintain a slow, steady pace with regular breaks. Depending on the season and trail conditions, parts of the route may be covered with snow or loose rock, making careful footing important. Your guide assesses the conditions and lead you along the safest available trail.

As you climb toward Kongma La, the surrounding peaks become increasingly dramatic. The pass offers spectacular views of Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, Baruntse, Cholatse, Taboche, and Island Peak, along with the vast glacial terrain of the Khumbu. Reaching the top is a major achievement.

From Kongma La, the trail descends toward Chhukung through a stark alpine landscape. The descent can be steep and rocky in places, but the scenery gradually becomes more open as you lose elevation. The surrounding mountains remain impressive, with Island Peak (Imja Tse) becoming an increasingly prominent presence as you approach the village.

Chhukung is a small, peaceful settlement in the Imja Valley and an important staging point for climbers heading toward Island Peak. Nepal Tourism Board also identifies Chhukung as a popular side destination from Dingboche and part of the wider Everest trekking route.

After reaching Chhukung, you can finally slow down and enjoy the quieter atmosphere of the village. Surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks and glacial streams, it is an ideal place to recover after crossing Kongma La.

More importantly, your Island Peak climbing preparation begins here. You meet your professional climbing guide, check your climbing equipment, and receive a briefing about the upcoming ascent. Your guide also explains the route, expected conditions, climbing techniques, safety procedures, and what to expect during the summit attempt.

  • Overnight Altitude:4730 meters/15518 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

Today is your dedicated Island Peak climbing preparation day in Chhukung. After completing the three high passes, you now shift your focus from long-distance trekking to the technical challenge of Island Peak (Imja Tse) climbing. The day balances acclimatization, climbing preparation, and plenty of time to rest before the summit attempt.

You meet your experienced Sherpa climbing guide, who explains the Island Peak route, weather considerations, safety procedures, and the technical sections you can expect on summit day. You also review essential climbing skills and discuss how to use equipment such as crampons, harnesses, ropes, and an ice axe. A practical equipment check is carried out to make sure everything is suitable and in good condition for the high-altitude climb.

If conditions and your energy levels allow, you can take an acclimatization hike to Chhukung Ri. The trail begins from Chhukung and immediately heads uphill through the open alpine landscape. There are no forests at this elevation; instead, the route follows a rocky path across loose stones and increasingly rugged terrain.

The ascent becomes steeper as you gain altitude, with the thin air making the relatively short hike feel considerably harder. You maintain a slow, steady pace, stopping regularly to catch your breath and take in the changing scenery. The trail is not technical climbing, but loose rocks and uneven sections require careful footing, particularly near the higher slopes.

As you climb, Chhukung Village gradually becomes smaller below, while the surrounding peaks appear increasingly impressive. Depending on visibility, you can see Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Baruntse, Island Peak, and other Himalayan giants. The views toward the Imja Valley and surrounding glaciers are particularly striking from higher up. 

Reaching the top can feel like a serious achievement, especially after the demanding days already behind you. The altitude is noticeable, the air is cold and thin, and the surrounding landscape feels remarkably remote. After enjoying the panoramic mountain views, you descend carefully back to Chhukung.

The rest of the day is intentionally relaxed. Hydration, nutritious meals, and proper rest are important as your body prepares for the Island Peak summit attempt. You can also take gentle walks around the village, organize your personal gear, and discuss your climbing strategy with your Sherpa guide.

  • Overnight Altitude:5080 m/16666 feet, Island Peak Base camp
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tent

Today, the Island Peak climbing adventure moves into its most exciting stage as you leave Chhukung and trek toward Island Peak Base Camp. The trail gradually climbs into a more rugged alpine environment, with dramatic views becoming even more impressive as you gain elevation.

The route follows the Imja Valley, passing rocky terrain and the outflow of the Lhotse Glacier. The trail is relatively short but can feel demanding at this altitude, with steep sections, loose rocks, and uneven ground requiring a steady pace. As you climb higher, Chhukung and the lower valley gradually disappear behind you, while towering peaks surround the route.

After around four hours, you reach Island Peak Base Camp, where your tented camp is set up against an extraordinary Himalayan backdrop. From here, Island Peak (6,189 meters / 20,305 feet) rises dramatically above the glacier and rocky landscape.

Once at base camp, your Sherpa climbing guide leads the final preparation and technical training before summit day. You check your climbing harness, crampons, ropes, ice axe, helmet, and other technical equipment to make sure everything is ready for the ascent.

Your guide also reviews the climbing route, explains safety procedures, and helps you become comfortable with essential techniques, particularly for the steeper and glaciated sections higher on Island Peak. This preparation is an important part of the climb, especially if you have limited previous experience with technical mountaineering.

As evening arrives, the atmosphere at Island Peak Base Camp changes. With the surrounding peaks glowing in the fading light and the glacier stretching into the distance, you can feel the excitement building.

  • Overnight Altitude:4730 meters/15518 feet
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

You start in the early hours, usually before dawn, when the mountain is cold, dark, and quiet. With your Sherpa climbing guide, you begin the demanding ascent from Island Peak Base Camp toward the summit.

The route initially climbs over steep, rocky terrain as you make your way toward the ridgeline. At this altitude, every step requires patience and controlled breathing. As daylight begins to spread across the mountains, the surrounding peaks gradually emerge, making the strenuous climb feel even more rewarding.

Higher up, you reach the glaciated section of the route, where your climbing guide ropes you up for the glacier crossing. You use your crampons, harness, helmet, and other technical equipment while navigating the icy terrain. Depending on current conditions, the climb may involve crossing crevasses and tackling steeper sections using fixed ropes and other climbing techniques. Your Sherpa guide leads the way and provides hands-on support throughout this technical section.

After hours of climbing, you finally reach the summit ridge and make your way toward the top of Island Peak. Standing on the summit is a huge achievement after crossing three high passes and tackling the technical climb.

From the top, the Himalayan panorama is spectacular. You can look across Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, Baruntse, Cho Oyu, and numerous surrounding peaks, with glaciers and deep valleys stretching far below. You can take a few moments to celebrate, capture photographs, and appreciate just how far you have come.

The summit stay is kept relatively short because of the altitude and changing mountain conditions. Once you have enjoyed the views, your guide leads you carefully back down the route.

The descent requires just as much concentration as the ascent, particularly around the glaciated and steeper sections. You retrace your route to Island Peak Base Camp before continuing downhill toward Chhukung.

After such a demanding summit day, reaching Chhukung feels like a major relief. Settle into your tea house, enjoy a well-earned meal, and finally relax.

  • Overnight Altitude:3440m/11286ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

You retrace your route from Chhukung to Namche Bazaar, but descending offers a completely different perspective of the landscape. The air gradually becomes warmer, vegetation returns, and the dramatic Himalayan scenery opens into greener valleys and traditional mountain villages.

The trail passes through the Imja Valley and Dingboche, continuing toward the lower Khumbu. With less demanding altitude than the previous days, you can settle into a more comfortable rhythm and enjoy the scenery along the way. Here, keep an eye out for alpine birds, mountain goats, and the changing vegetation as the landscape transitions from barren high-altitude terrain to pine and rhododendron forests.

As you continue toward Namche, the trail follows the Dudh Koshi River and crosses several suspension bridges. You pass through Sherpa villages, mani walls, prayer wheels, and terraced slopes while meeting local people going about their daily routines. Familiar sections of the trail may even feel different now that you are walking them with the achievement of three high passes and an Island Peak summit behind you.

As you arrive at Namche Bazaar, the lively Sherpa hub feels like a welcome return to civilization, with its colourful streets, teahouses, cafés, bakeries, trekking shops, and sweeping mountain views.

  • Overnight Altitude:2860m/9383ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea House

Today feels like a victory lap through the Khumbu as you make your final trek from Namche Bazaar to Lukla. After crossing the three high passes and summiting Island Peak, the trail that once felt challenging now carries a very different feeling. 

The trail descends through the familiar landscapes of the Dudh Koshi Valley, with its turquoise river rushing alongside the path. You cross several suspension bridges decorated with colourful prayer flags and pass through Sherpa villages, forests, and terraced hillsides. The walking is generally steady, although some sections can still be steep, so there is no need to rush.

As you lose altitude, the air becomes warmer, and the landscape gradually turns greener. You may notice details you missed on the way up, such as birds in the forest, mountain streams, local homes, and villagers going about their daily lives. The dramatic high peaks also begin to feel more distant.

Eventually, the familiar streets of Lukla come into view, and the rugged trail gives way to stone-paved paths and the lively atmosphere of the mountain town. After reaching your tea house, you can finally take off your trekking boots, enjoy a much-awaited hot shower, and relax without worrying about the next high pass or summit.

  • Overnight Altitude:1400 meters/4593 ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast
  • Accommodation:3 Star Hotel

After breakfast, you leave Lukla and head to Tenzing-Hillary Airport for your flight back toward Kathmandu. Depending on the season and flight operations, you may fly directly from Lukla to Kathmandu or take the peak-season route via Ramechhap (Manthali).

During the busy spring and autumn trekking seasons, Lukla flights are often operated through Ramechhap Airport. In this case, the Lukla to Ramechhap flight takes around 15 to 20 minutes, followed by a road journey to Kathmandu.

If direct flights are operating, the Lukla to Kathmandu flight takes around 30 to 40 minutes, giving you one last aerial view of the Himalayan landscape before returning to the capital.

Once you arrive in Kathmandu, check into your hotel and enjoy a relaxed day after your long Himalayan adventure. You can take a hot shower, enjoy a proper meal, catch up on rest, or head out to explore Kathmandu's cafés, markets, heritage sites, and streets. After weeks in the mountains, returning to the comfort and energy of the capital feels pretty good.

  • Meals:Breakfast

Your Everest Three High Passes Trek with Island Peak Climbing comes to an end today. After breakfast, enjoy your final moments in Kathmandu before our representative picks you up from your hotel and transfers you to Tribhuvan International Airport according to your flight schedule. We bid you farewell at the airport and wish you a safe journey home, hoping to see you again for another Himalayan adventure. 

If your schedule allows, you can also extend your stay in Nepal rather than heading home immediately. Spend a few extra days exploring places you may have missed in Kathmandu Valley, or continue your journey to another region of Nepal. Popular options include Pokhara for its lakes and mountain views, Chitwan National Park for wildlife and jungle activities, Lumbini for its Buddhist heritage, or the Annapurna region for another Himalayan experience.

FAQs for Everest Three Passes Trek with Island Peak Climbing

  • Winter is possible only with considerable experience, preparation, and flexibility, but NTE does not recommend this itinerary in winter because heavy snowfall can make the high passes and Island Peak significantly more difficult or inaccessible.
