Nepal walks

This hike is yet another detour on the 3 Passes Trek, but it is well worth the effort as it offers magnificent views, especially of Ama Dablam. This is a round trip to the summit of Chukhung Ri (5,546 m) from the village of Chukhung.

The hike passes through the third and final pass of the 3 Passes Trek (Kongma La)! We leave the busy trail from base camp to climb Kongma La, at an altitude of 5,535 metres, after crossing the Khumbu Glacier. The view from up there is well worth the effort, with a magnificent lake below and, not Everest, but Lhotse, Makalu, Ama Dablam..

We begin our return from base camp to rejoin the 3 Passes trek route. This hike includes a detour to the highest point of our trek, Kala Patthar at an altitude of 5,645 metres, which offers a magnificent view of Everest.

Finally, the long-awaited stage! Return trip to the legendary Everest Base Camp (5,364 metres above sea level) from Gorakshep. This trail is very busy, and you will encounter many other trekkers, mountaineers, porters and ponies. The summit of Everest is not visible from base camp, but you can see it on the road leading there.

The second pass at over 5,000 metres on this 3-pass trek is the Cho La Pass at 5,430 metres. At the top, there is a beautiful panorama with a view of Lobuche (6,119 m). Be careful, this pass is more technical than the first and may require crampons for the snowy sections!

This stage is another day of acclimatisation, climbing up to the magnificent Gokyo Ri, a peak overlooking Gokyo and its lake at an altitude of 5,357 metres, where you can hope to catch a glimpse of Everest! The view is well worth the detour.

This stage is the first pass of the famous 3 Passes Trek! Renjo La, at an altitude of 5,360 metres, is reached after a 4-5 hour climb (it's worth the effort)! If you're lucky with the weather, this pass is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the trek.

The first part of the trek is not the most interesting, but it allows you to reach Lukla without flying, and on the historic route!

This trek is the complete version of the 3 Passes trek, passing through Everest Base Camp (EBC). It starts in Jiri and retraces the steps of the historic trek made by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay during their ascent to Everest Base Camp to make the first ascent of Everest in 1953. Please note: this circuit is different from the "classic" circuit leading to Everest Base Camp, as it crosses three passes at an altitude of over 5,000 metres (Renjo La, Kongma La, Cho La), making it much more demanding. This is a high-altitude trek (8 days at over 4,000 metres) that requires good acclimatisation (above 3,000 metres, do not sleep more than 500 metres higher than the previous night, and remain alert to the signs of acute mountain sickness)!

Let's go for a day of acclimatisation to get your body used to the altitude!This option will take you up to Khunde Peak (4,200 m), passing through the village of Khunde! Once at the top, instead of turning back down, this hike follows the ridge to Sir Edmund Hillary Viewpoint at 4,100 metres.

This hike is a day of acclimatisation during the Annapurna Circuit trek. It can be done as a round trip from Bhraka, or by continuing on to Manang. It requires good physical condition and gradual acclimatisation as the highest point of the hike is at 4,650m (Ice Lake).
