Is the Everest High Pass trek the right choice for you?
Keep in mind that the trekking itinerary is not a five-star vacation. This trek will take you over three high passes totaling over 5,000m. You'll also reach a maximum elevation point of 5,643m. As a result, this trek necessitates both physical and mental fitness. As a result, this trek is best suited to experienced trekkers with prior Himalayan trekking expertise. If this is your first experience trekking in the Himalayas, we recommend starting with less challenging treks in the Everest or Annapurna regions. The trek to the three passes is an 18-day trek that takes you into the Himalayas for 17 days. This expedition will require you to walk on average five to six hours daily. If you have the stamina to complete this task, we're confident you can do it.
