What is Everest High Passes Trek like?
Although this trekking adventure in the Everest region is one of the most difficult treks, quite many trekkers take the challenge and go to enjoy the adventure. As the name suggests, you need to trek over three quite challenging Himalayan passes during the adventure.
It is a long trek in the Everest region that takes you to trek over the Renjo La Pass (5,360m), Cho La Pass (5,420m), and Kongma La Pass (5,550m). You will also explore beautiful Gokyo Lakes and Valley and hike to Gokyo Ri (5,357m).
