I never thought I’d try the Everest Three Pass Trek until my friend showed me pictures of the stunning mountain views. This trek crosses three high passes—Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La (5,360m)—right in the heart of the Everest region. It sounded intense from afar, but thousands of people like me take on the challenge every year.
The trek was tough but not impossible. According to trekking guides and local operators, about 60% of trekkers who start the full circuit complete all three passes. It takes strength, planning, and a bit of courage—but the rewards are truly unforgettable.
