Khumbu Three Passes Phalpu

Take advantage of this trek by the old road to immerse yourself in the Sherpa culture by slowly approaching the peaks of the Himalayas with the final bouquet of Everest. It is also the opportunity to discover another much less tourist Khumbu more carried by agriculture, livestock and field activities. A more traditional Nepal. Sagarmatha Park in the heart of Khumbu is a World Heritage Site. It is home to a great diversity of flora and fauna.

From Namche the first of the 3 passes is the Renjo Pass, then after climbing to the Gokyo Peak one crosses the Chola Pass, to climb Kala Patthar and go to Everest Base Camp. We end with Kongma La. A trip to altitude and Sherpa country that starts low in the valley to acclimatize progressively and to the peaks. Khumbu is also home to many monasteries, the oldest of which is in Pangboche. Don’t forget to take a tour of the Tibetan market of Namche Bazar where Tibetans and Nepalese trade.

On the whole trek we cross suspension bridges, pine forests, we cross rivers sometimes frozen, we stop in Sherpa villages, we visit Tibetan monasteries, then slowly, we get closer to the highest peaks of the planet Lhotse, Ama Dablam and of course Everest in the final point.
