In Lukla, we start our trek by going down to the Dudh Kosi River and then take the major route to Namche Bazaar, located just over Chaunrikharka. The path is smooth and we pass by the tiny village of Ghat (2,550m) before reaching Phakding (2,610m), a pretty village consisting of some 30 houses.

Day 02 : Trek to Namche Bazaar (3,440m), overnight at guesthosue 

The day will begin with a gentle walk to Monjo, another beautiful Sherpa settlement along the trek; official entry into the Sagarmatha National Park where you will have to show your permits (SNP entry permit and TIMS card) at the office in Monjo. The trek to Namche Bazaar involves a tough uphill climb of about 590m, taking approximately 5-hours; however, halfway up the hill you will be able to see Everest and Lhotse for the first time. As you approach the town of Namche Bazaar, the peaks of Thamserku (6, 648m) and Kwangde (6,224m) are visible to the East and to the West, close to the sacred mountain Khumbila (5,707m). As a gateway to the Khumbu region, Namche Bazaar, at an altitude of 3440 meters, is famous for its many bakeries and local market (haat bazzar) which takes place each Saturday. Built on a steep mountain bowl with excellent views of high Himalaya on either side, the town has restaurants, shops, banks and currency exchange offices. Remarkably, for such a remote location, you can also find cyber cafes and pool halls.

Day 03 : Rest in Namche Bazaar for acclimatization and explore surrounding, overnight at guesthosue 

It is important to walk to higher altitudes while you stay two days in Namche Bazaar. There are options here to trek to Khumjung, where you can visit the local school and hospital, the great Everest Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, or the airstrip at Shyanboche (3,720m). Above the airstrip is the Everest View Hotel, which was set up by the Japanese to bring affluent tourists into the region for a prime view of Everest. The scheme was brought down by the fact the hotel was at nearly 4,000m and many suffered from altitude sickness.

Day 04 : Trek to Tengboche (3,887m), overnight at guesthouse 

The day begins with a slight climb up about 10-minutes and descend back to the Dudh Koshi at 3,550m before ascending to Tengboche (or Thyangboche) at 3,870m. The views of Everest, Thamserku, Amadablam and the valley are simply breathtaking. At an altitude of 3,870m, Tengboche is a charming spot built around the main Tibetan monastery in the region where you can enter and listen to the monks chanting their mantras. The views of Lhotse, Everest and Amadablam are unforgettable.

Day 05 : Trek to Dingboche (4,410m), overnight at guesthouse 

Your journey will pass through wooded forests and cross the Imja Khola valley. The views will become more impressive as the high Himalaya begins to surround you.

Today, we start with a gentle climb at first hours towards the Cho La Pass. The trail crosses the glacier which is marked by cairns. Once we reach Cho La Pass, the trail goes downward to Thangnak. We then continue our trek passing by the lakes at Gokyo which pours down to the western division of the Ngozumpa Glacier. We go diagonally through the three outstanding lakes and traverse the third lake, Dudh Pokhari, and on the East bank we can mark the community of Gokyo.

Best trek of my life

During the second half of September 2023 I successfully did the 3-pass trek with unique adventures. Communication was fluid since the beginning with Kum resolving any doubt I had before the trek. After some issues with the airport pickup, I finally got to Lukla where the adventure began. The trek was lovely and my guide Kumar did a great job managing everything smoothly. He had always a positive attitude and was open to adapt the planning to my needs diligently. After the trek, unique adventures offered assistance on my last days in the Kathmandu valley and they finally left me at the airport to farewell.
