Trip name:Everest High Passes
Duration: 21 days
Trip grading: Hard
Max elevation: 5550m
This is ultimate Everest trek. Starting from the famous Khumbu Valley, home of the Sherpas, We acclimatize before following the trail taken by many of the great Everest climbers to Dingboche. Here we ascend our first summit, Nangkartshang Peak. Further up the valley we climb Chukkung Ri for amazing views of some of the biggest mountains in the world.
Our first pass is the Kongma La, with amazing close up views of Nuptse, which takes us to Lobuje, from where we have a chance to ascend Kala Pattar for the classic view of the south face of Everest. From here we cross the Cho La pass and enter the quieter Gokyo Valley. Here we are surrounded by incredible glacial lakes and an ascent of Gokyo Ri offers unbeatable panoramic views.
Our last pass is the Renzo La which takes us into the Thame Valley and the final leg of this circular trek back to Lukla. With most of the walking above 3600m this is not for the novice, but will appeal to those who are fit and have previously trekked at altitude.
