Everest Base Camp Trek
The classic Khumbu trail to Everest Base Camp, paced for acclimatization with Sherpa-led guiding from Kathmandu.
Everest
Everest Three Passes Trek
Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La — the full Khumbu for experienced trekkers.
Three Passes is the Khumbu without shortcuts. You link Everest Base Camp, the Gokyo lakes, and three high passes. It is for people who have trekked before and want a longer, harder route.
We keep group sizes small and build weather days into the plan so a closed pass does not wreck the trip.
Kongma La (~5,535 m), Cho La (~5,420 m), and Renjo La (~5,360 m) link valleys most trekkers see only once. The full loop with Gokyo and Everest Base Camp commonly runs 18–21 days from Lukla. Prior high-altitude trekking experience is strongly recommended.

Questions
Is this a first trek?
We do not recommend it as a first high-altitude trek. Everest Base Camp or Gokyo is a better start.
