This stage is the arrival at the final point, Salleri. There are buses here for the return journey to Kathmandu.
Nunthala - Salleri
Last day of the 3-pass trek starting from Jiri! This stage is a little less interesting than the previous ones as it includes sections of road. However, it is very quiet and marks the end of a trek lasting more than 3 weeks!
This walk is part of a multi-day hike: Three Pass Trek from Jiri

Departure from Nepal
This stage is a little longer with some steep descents, requiring a descent from 3,100m to 1,600m in altitude! Don't panic, you'll be back up again soon!
The first climb leads to the Taksindu Pass (3070m).

This stage is the last part of the trek from Jiri to Lukla! After this stage, you will join the 3 Passes trek route, with much shorter stages than before (the altitude is starting to make itself felt).

Very difficult
Departure from Nepal
We return to the road we took on the way there, so this stage is a little longer and less interesting. It can be divided into two if necessary, stopping for example in Bupsa, after 18 km. This leaves 12 km to cover the next day.

Departure from Nepal
First day on the Three Passes Trek! The days will be shorter from now on, but the altitude will also start to increase!
There will be a lot more traffic (trekkers, porters, cows, mules, ponies, etc.)! Some pretty Himalayan footbridges!

Departure from Nepal
Still on the road to Lukla, this stage is a pleasant walk through the forest at an altitude of 3,000 metres, with the hike taking place among fir trees and rhododendrons! It passes through a few authentic Sherpa villages, far from the tourist areas.

Departure from Nepal
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.

A short stage to get back on the road towards the first pass: Renjo La. The trails are a little less busy than on the route to base camp, and the scenery is just as magnificent.

Difficult
Departure from Nepal
Away from the usual trails, this stage takes us to the foot of the first pass: Renjo La. The arrival point is above 4,000 metres, so be careful to acclimatise! Lungden is a small high-altitude village with a few simple but welcoming lodges.
