Everest Two Passes Trek Route
This is one of the famous routes in the Everest region, which includes two of the three most famous high passes. Everest High passes trek is for adventure seekers who wish to enjoy the picturesque Himalayas in a thrill-filled environment.
In addition to the snow-capped mountains, you will be witnessing the beautiful turquoise lakes, glaciers, moraines, and fantastic landscapes.
The scenery is diversified yet majestic. The trail deviates from one of the most traveled routes of Khumbu to the secluded and less visited high passes. We take this high-altitude trek slow and steady as we absorb the beauty of the humongous mountains at each step.
Your journey starts with a scenic flight to Lukla (2,850m), flying between the alluring Himalayas. From Lukla, we hike to Phakding (2,650m) while adjusting to the thinning air. On the second day, we will trek from Phakding to Namche through the Sagarmatha National Park.
You will be spending a day at Namche acclimatizing. On this day, you have several options, such as hiking to Khumjung, visiting Hillary School, and Syanboche Airport. At Namche Bazaar (3,440m). you can get many facilities that you can get in cities. You can shop for gear for the trek or enjoy a variety of cuisines and drinks.
From Namche, we divert from the classic Everest Base Camp trek paths and trek to Thame. After spending a night at Thame, you will trek to Lungden. Next, you will cross the Renjo La Pass (5,360m) and reach the Gokyo Lakes region.
You will be halting for a day at Gokyo Village for acclimatization. During the acclimatization day, you will hike to Gokyo Ri (5,350m) to catch fantastic views of Everest, Chalotse, and Taboche mountains. The Gokyo region is home to some of the most stunning oligotrophic lakes. We will surely visit these lakes to appreciate their beauty.
After spending a day at Gokyo, we leave for Thangnak. After Thangnak, we head to Dzongla. On the way lies the second pass, the Chol La Pass (5,420m). From Chol La Pass, you can savor the beauty of several high peaks - including Mount Pumori (7,161m), Mount Lingtren (6,749m), and Mount Nuptse (7,861m).
From Dzongla, we head to Lobuche, rejoining the classic Everest Base Camp Trek. After Lobuche, we continue to Gorakshep. On reaching Gorakshep, we leave our belongings there and ascend to Everest Base Camp. While on the Everest Base Camp, you might be overwhelmed with a flood of feelings, remembering your effort to see Everest up close.
After enjoying the views from Everest Base Camp to the heart's content, we return to Gorakshep. You will spend the night at Gorakshep and wake up early the following morning to hike to Kala Patthar (5,555m). From Kala Patthar, you can enjoy the dawn breaking on Everest and other huge mountains - Mount Ama Dablam (6,812m), Mount Lhotse (8,516m), Mount Nuptse (7,861m), Mount Cho-Oyu (8,201m), and Mount Pumori (7,161m). You will also see the exquisite Khumbu Glacier.
From Kala Patthar, the descent begins, and we return to Pheriche for the night. Next, we will trek from Pheriche to Namche and finally to Lukla, where you will bid goodbye to the trails and return to Kathmandu.
We recommend all our valuable clients arrive in Kathmandu by 3 pm a day before the trek departure. It will allow you time for last-minute preparations.

Itinerary Facts Trek Distance 16km / 9.9miles Highest Altitude 5420m / 17,783ft Trek Duration 6-7 hrs This day will prove to be one of the most intense days of the entire trek. We hike up a small valley where we witness the beauty of a rocky trail surrounded by spectacular mountains. After walking for a few hours, you get the view of Cho La Pass across a small moraine. Soon you will realize the intense steepness of the trail. The steep path is short, but the elevation makes it difficult to traverse. As you cross the Cho La Pass, you need to take proper care as this pass often gets snowy and icy. After walking for about an hour, you will reach Dzongla, where we will be staying for the night.

Trek from Dzongla (4,855m / 15,930ft) to Lobuche (4,910m / 16,175ft)
Itinerary Facts Trek Distance 8.3km / 5.2miles Highest Altitude 4,910m / 16,175ft Trek Duration 4 hrs The journey from Dzongla to Lobuche offers you more stunning views. With no more glacier crossing and steep uphills, the path should be more pleasant. First, we follow the moraine and then hike down to Chola Lake, bidding farewell to Dongla.
We continue to follow the wave-like trails to Lobuche. As you move ahead, on one side, you can get glimpses of Everest Base Camp, and on the other side, you will see the Khumbu Glacier with the rubble of ice floating. The path gets appealing as we get close to the foothills of Mount Everest. You can also visit some famous bakeries at Lobuche. Lobuche also provides panoramic views of several snow peaks - including Mount Pumori (7,161m), Mount Lingtren (6,749m), and Mount Nuptse (7,861m). However, Everest hides behind Mount Lhotse.

Itinerary Facts Trek Distance 15km / 9.32miles Highest Altitude 5,364m / 17,598ft Trek Duration 6-8 hours This is the day you will ascend to Everest Base Camp. We will begin our walk to the Everest Base Camp from Lobuche early morning. You will pass through many glaciers, including the famous Khumbu Glacier. Beyond this glacier, you can see Khumbu Icefall (5,486m). Soon, you will be leaving Army Mountaineers Memorial behind and finally reach Gorak Shep. We leave our belongings at Gorak Shep and ascend to Everest Base Camp.
The final ascent to Everest Base Camp(5,364m) might be challenging due to the increasing altitude involving rocky dunes and moraine and accumulated glacial debris. As you find yourself surrounded by snow-capped mountains and Mount Everest standing right ahead, you might feel overwhelmed by its sparkling beauty. Reaching the Everest Base Camp is a dream come true for many. It is the closest you will get to Everest unless you want to climb it. After immersing ourselves fully in the beauty of the base camp, we walk back to Gorak Shep (5,185m), where we will be spending the night.

The views from Kala Patthar are other-worldly, providing a 360-degree view of the Himalayan giants. It is also the highest altitude of your trek.

Itinerary Facts Flight Hours 40/20 Minutes After you return to Lukla after completing your EBC trek. It is time to return to Kathmandu. You will fly to Manthali or Kathmandu, depending on the trekking season. Chances are, if your trek is in March, April, May, September, October, or November, you'll fly to Manthali, and we will then drive you to Kathmandu. In the remaining months (December, January, February, June, July, and August), you will probably fly from Lukla to Kathmandu directly.
If you want to fly from Lukla to Kathmandu directly (even in busy seasons), you can team up with four others to book a helicopter, incurring an additional cost of around 550 USD per person.

Arrival, Welcome, and Trek Start
Our representative will be present at the Tribhuvan International Airport, holding a pamphlet with your name on it. They will present you with a marigold garland and then take you to your hotel in a private vehicle. This ensures you do not feel alone in a foreign country.
On trek departure day, early morning, you will take a 40-minute domestic flight to Lukla.
During peak trek seasons (March, April, May, October, and November), the flight to Lukla will be from Ramechhap/Manthali instead of Kathmandu due to traffic congestion. At other times, the flight will be from Kathmandu. To catch a flight from Ramechhap, we must leave Kathmandu and head to Manthali around 12:30 a.m. on the scheduled departure date. The drive will take around five hours.
Accommodations
Everest High Passes Trek is a long trek with 14-night stays in the trek regions at the best possible lodge accommodations. You will stay five nights in rooms with attached bathrooms at Lukla, Phakding, and Namche (3N). Nine nights stay in standard rooms at Thame, Lungden, Gokyo (2N), Dzongla, Lobuche (2N), Gorak Shep, and Pheriche. All rooms are on a shared basis.

All meals are provided on a full-board basis, covering the main course. Ingredients are often fresh and locally sourced. If you have dietary preferences, such as vegetarian or vegan, please inform us in advance to ensure we can accommodate your needs.

Further, you should use water purification tablets or drops before drinking. Do not drink directly from local water sources, such as taps, wells, or rivers.
-
Communication

Our head office maintains daily contact with each trekking team through your trek leader to ensure consistent communication and support throughout your journey.
Travel Essentials
-
Visa
All foreigners, except Indians, need a visa to enter Nepal. You can get an on-arrival visa at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. To apply for this visa, you will need a passport with at least six months of validity, a passport-size photo, and an application fee. The application fee depends on your intended length of stay. Currently, the fee is USD 50 for a 30-day stay. For details, you can visit - https://www.immigration.gov.np/en.

You can exchange most foreign currencies through local banks and legitimate money exchanges in Kathmandu and all over Thamel. Despite the security advantage of traveler's cheques, we recommend cash exchange in legal currency exchanges. You can withdraw cash (in Rupees only) from one of the many ATMs in Kathmandu and Thamel. However, there are some restrictions and fees associated.
-
Extra Expenses
Discovery World Trekking covers most expenses during the trek. However, meals and accommodations in Kathmandu are up to our valuable clients themselves. In addition, you will need to bring personal spending money to cover the visa process fees, travel insurance policy purchase, snacks for the trek, hot (tea/coffee) and cold drinks, tips for the trekking crew, souvenirs, etc. We estimate you will need around USD 15 per trek day.
Trek Season and Weather Conditions
The ideal trekking seasons are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), offering clear skies, pleasant temperatures, and breathtaking views. In spring, daytime temperatures at high altitudes can reach up to 20°C, dipping to -5°C at night. During autumn, daytime highs can rise to 25°C, with nighttime lows around -10°C.
We also operate treks in summer (June-August) and winter (December-February). Summer temperatures at high altitudes can climb to 27°C during the day and drop to 5°C at night, though monsoon rains make lower trails slippery, and flights may experience delays. In winter, daytime temperatures can reach 15°C, while nighttime temperatures can fall as low as -20°C. Heavy snow in winter often covers high-elevation trails, making the trek more challenging.
Typical Day
Your trekking day begins early, maximizing daylight hours. After breakfast, you’ll hike for 3-4 hours, stopping for lunch and then an hour's rest, before continuing to the next lodge. Afternoon treks will be shorter. After you arrive at that day’s destination, you can explore the vicinity. In the evening, dinner is served around seven, followed by a briefing from your guide on the next day’s journey. You’ll have time to rest, chat, or reflect on the day before turning in for the night.

Everest High Pass Trek with Discovery World Trekking was a journey that touched the depths of my soul. From the moment we set foot on the trail, a whirlwind of emotions swept through me – excitement, anticipation, and a profound sense of connection to the majestic landscape unfolding before us.
Our guide, with his genuine warmth, quickly became a cherished companion on our trek. His stories of the mountains and the people who call them home added layers of depth to our journey, stirring a mixture of awe and admiration for the Himalayan way of life.
But it wasn't just the breathtaking scenery that left me spellbound; it was the laughter we shared around the dinner table. I am an introverted person but this journey somehow made me enjoy the company of others. Thank you, DWT for changing my personality. If anyone wants to trek, DWT is 100% recommended.

Genuinely speaking, I am glad that I choose Discovery World Trekking. Paul is a down-to-earth manager. He did everything to make my trekking experience a good one. I had done trekking in other countries. But there is something I felt here in Nepal that I never felt before i.e. peace.
I can't wait to come back again and go on a new trekking journey. I cannot recommend Discovery World Trekking enough for their professionalism, passion, and commitment to creating extraordinary trekking experiences.
