Highlights

Overview

The Everest Two Passes Trek is one of Nepal’s most exhilarating and challenging adventures. This incredible journey leads you deep into the heart of the Himalayas, crossing two dramatic high passes—Cho La Pass (5,420m) and Renjo La Pass (5,360m). It’s a perfect choice for trekkers seeking more than just the classic Everest Base Camp route—blending adventure, solitude, and breathtaking natural beauty.

What sets this trek apart is the chance to explore the stunning Gokyo Valley, home to the shimmering Gokyo Lakes and the vast Ngozumpa Glacier—the longest glacier in the Himalayas. Along the way, you’ll summit legendary viewpoints like Gokyo Ri and Kala Patthar, offering unmatched panoramas of Mount Everest and its neighboring giants.

This route takes you through some of the most beautiful and less-traveled corners of the Khumbu region. Trekking here means stepping into serene, unspoiled Himalayan wilderness—where few others venture.

The sense of solitude and the thrill of adventure define the Everest Two Passes Trek. While sections follow the traditional Everest Base Camp trail, crossing the high passes takes you far off the beaten path. With steep ascents, icy trails, and high elevations, this trek is ideal for experienced trekkers ready to test their physical endurance and mental resilience.

Cultural immersion is another highlight. You’ll pass through vibrant Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorakshep—each rich in local tradition and mountain hospitality.

For seasoned adventurers, the Everest Two Passes Trek is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that blends dramatic landscapes, awe-inspiring views, and rich cultural encounters. It’s more than a trek—it’s a journey that challenges and rewards in equal measure.
