High Passes Trek

As the term suggests, High Passes Trek refers to trekking that crosses the high routes between the two valleys. There are various types of high passes treks in Nepal, such as Tashi Lapcha Pass Trek, Nar Phu Valley Trek, Renjo La Pass Trek, Rupina Pass Trek, Ganjala La Pass Trek, etc.

This trek starts with an exciting flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the Gateway to Mount Everest. In Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa community's capital, you will enjoy an opportunity to visit the Buddhist monasteries, the National Park head office, Museum. You will then see the Everest View Lodge, from where you can watch the panorama of mountains such as the Everest itself from a close range. You will trek back to Namche and then to Tengboche, Dingboche (4,358m/14,295ft), Chukung (4730m/1553ft), Kongma La Pass (5535m), Chola Pass (5368m), Renjo La Pass (5360m) and the Everest Base Camp (5,364m/17,598 ft). The major attraction of these three high Passes is the Chukhung valley surrounded by Lhotse and Nuptse by the Lho Glacier and the Nup Glacier, Cho Polu and Baruntse the Imja Glaciers, and the northern Mount Ama Dablam by the Ama Dablam Glacier and Chukhung Glacier. The other attractions are walking to the Ama Dablam Base Camp and the Everest Base Camp.

Early in the morning, you will take a walk to the Kalapattar for sunrise view, crossing Gokyo lakes, Gokyo Ri, Chola Pass (5368m), and Renjo Pass (5360m). This trek provides you with an excellent experience of peak climbing expedition, taking you across mesmerizing glaciers. 

Perhaps the most energizing journey in Nepal, the High Pass Trek is both adventurous and risky. First of all, it can cause acute mountain sickness to the trekkers who have not acclimatized to the altitude. Hence acclimatization to the height is a must for trekkers. The other risk might be an avalanche. During the climbing time, you need trekking equipment like ropes, warm down jackets, trekking boots, trekking sticks, etc. The crossing of the passes requires technical climbing equipment, and trekkers must know about that.
