Why trek with eveRtrek?

We get it – travel’s a big decision. It’s not every day you fly across the world to wander the streets of Thamel in Kathmandu or enjoy a dreamy Everest sunrise.But for us, it’s been our everyday for the past two decades (yes, we’re old). Let’s just say we know what travellers really want as we have been there: a balance of inclusions and free time, a mix of classic highlights and local secrets you won’t find on Google. And of course, an authentic real life experience.

Great customer feedback

We have over 100 online reviews for our Nepal treks, with an average satisfaction rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. We know how to get you to destinations like Mt Everest and have a 95% success rate on our high altitude treks which is way above the industry standard 60%.

Excellent local trekking guides

We only use local experienced guides, some with over 15 years’ experience of leading customers to places like Mt Everest. Their local knowledge and understanding of the often changeable mountain conditions is second to none. As we use local guides, this means that the vast majority of your money will go straight to the destination and help build employment and grow the local economy. What finer way to visit a country than knowing you will be supporting its local communities whilst also enjoying yourself at the same time.

We’re personal

As a smaller company we are able to remain customer focused and provide you with a far more personalised service than our larger competitors. We pride ourselves on our personal, approachable service, from your initial enquiry all the way through to the small, but essential details.

We also understand the need for balance. Time is your most precious resource, especially on a trip like an Everest trek. That’s why our trips are built with balance in mind. A little group time, a little you time – the way it should be.

“Overjoyed with my recent trip to EBC.”I can’t praise Evertrek enough. From the 1st day I contacted Andy he has

been amazing. Offering fantastic advice & tips before my trip. Hotel, guides & transfers in Kathmandu were spot on. Biggest credit has to go to the guide & sherpa who take care of you every step of the way. Thank you Evertrek!

“The guides were truly amazing, professional and were always on-hand to look after us.”

Thanks guys for the experience of a lifetime. What can I say about Evertrek! Simply brilliant. From the moment we spoke with Andy and signed up it was all taken care of. The guides were

truly amazing, professional and were always on-hand to look after us. Listen, this is a tough challenge but it’s well within the reach of most of you out there considering the possibility. I’ve

kept myself pretty fit all my life (63 years young) but trying to keep up with my sons was, at times, pushing my limits. The scenery is so beautiful it becomes an emotional challenge at times.

We did Kilimanjaro a few years ago - Base Camp blows that away completely. However, you need to be in the best hands and we were. Our guides, Rahul and Krishna were meticulous in making

sure we were looked after every step of the way and needless to say we have become friends for life. I cannot recommend EverTrek highly enough. Don’t think about this for too long - just do it. They’ll get there and you’ll never forget the experience. So,as soon as I have some pics ready

I’ll upload and share but please do not hesitate to contact me while I’m still flying through thin air!!! Thanks again Andy and EverTrek.

tRip overView

The Everest 3 Peaks 3 Passes Trek in the Khumbu region of Nepal offers one of the most rewarding and truly special experiences in trekking.

With the first challenge being Everest Base Camp(5364m) you will then conquer the altitude of the three high passes: Renjo La (5,360m), Cho La (5,420m) and Kongma La (5,535m) along with Kala Patthar (5,545m).

The altitude and steep inclines make the hike to the 3 High Passes of Everest one of the most demanding treks in the Everest region. However the spectacular views make the tough journey worth while and the experience of natural and cultural beauty offered by the Khumbu region of Nepal literally takes you’re breath away. Highlights also include the views of many peaks towering 8000m or more from sea level. You will see the beautiful Island Peak, this a great peak in its own right for mountain climbing and some see this as a first step into mountaineering (See our peak trips for more information). The 2 glaciers, Ngozumpa and Khumbu glacier, with the other worldly view of Gokyo valley with its glorious lakes making this a photographers dream.

This trek is also an opportunity to meet friendly Sherpas, their picturesque settlements, lifestyle, culture and traditions. March-May & September-December are the best times to plan Everest Three Passes treks, as one can also participate/observe the Tengboche Mani Rimdhu festival and dance (October) and Dumje festival (April). Previous experience is not required; however, sound health, excellent stamina, mental and physical determination are definitely required to successfully complete the Everest 3 Peaks 3 Passes Trek.

The standard 19 days Everest 3 Peaks 3 Passes Trek itinerary is a guided trek (by team leader and local Sherpas) ensuring proper acclimatisation with an average of 5-7 hour walk in a day. The package price includes full board during the trek and bed and breakfast in Kathmandu.

After a 30-35 min flight to Lukla, the Everest 3 high passes hiking trail continues along the train until Namche from where the trail turns west to follow a clockwise trail that passes through different small settlements, forests, high passes, river, glaciers, lakes, and hills making a complete circuit route.

experience Needed

The Everest 3 Peaks 3 Passes Trek is a tough and arduous trek. It is meant to be challenging.

You must be a fit, regular hillwalker to take part, used to long, consecutive days walking in the British Mountains, preferably in Winter. You should have experience of walking steep, boulder- strewn paths where the use of hands has been essential to scramble upwards over rocky steps.

Previous experience of Himalayan trekking is preferable, but not essential as long as you are a very regular and committed hillwalker. As this route takes you over remote high passes, experience of having been to 5000-metres before is ideal.
