The Everest 3 High Pass Trek is an epic adventure in the Everest region. It takes you over three high mountain passes: Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La. You'll get to experience breathtaking views, visit remote villages, and witness stunning landscapes. It's a challenging trek, but definitely worth it for the incredible scenery and sense of accomplishment.
The best time to do the Everest 3 High Pass Trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months offer stable weather conditions, clear skies, and moderate temperatures, making it ideal for trekking. The views are also stunning during these seasons.
