It is one of the most authentic adventure trek in Everest facilitating the crossing of 3 different high passes which are not counted on the standard Everest trail, Renjo La (5,388m/17,513ft), Cho La (5,380m/17,650ft) and Kongma La (5,535m/18,159).
Everest Base Camp Trek via crossing three high passes is designed for adventurers. It is popular for its spectacular sceneries of surrounding mountains and the risk involved while crossing the glaciated crevasses. The continuous trekking/hiking on the mountains can be tiresome. After the long day of trek, the hospitality and service offered by the local inhabitants (Sherpa) can make your night pleasant.
The highlight of the trek is its three major passes which can be an experience of your lifetime. The Khumbu La pass is the highest pass among them. Cho La pass is an Icy and interesting glacier crossing of Ngozumpa before the pass, whereas, Renjo La pass is recently found by an experienced Sherpas. Conceding the trek at Kala Patthar (5,545m/18,192ft) will present you with the most fantastic panorama of surrounding Eight-Thousanders (Pumori, Nuptse and Lhotse) and the closest sighting of Mt. Everest. This is a fusion of adventure and ethnic Himalaya culture at its best.
