Everest Three Passes Trek – Best Time to Go

What is the Everest Three Passes Trek?

The Everest Three Passes Trek is one of Nepal’s most challenging and scenic high-altitude routes, crossing Kongma La (5,535 m), Cho La (5,420 m), and Renjo La (5,360 m). It loops through iconic locations like Namche Bazaar, Gokyo, and Everest Base Camp.


Best Time to Trek the Three Passes

✅ Spring (March to May)

  • Clear skies and blooming rhododendrons.

  • Temperatures: 10°C to 18°C during the day, cold nights.

  • High visibility and safer crossings.

  • Ideal for both beginners and experienced trekkers.

✅ Autumn (September to November)

  • Post-monsoon clarity with dry, stable weather.

  • Crisp air and stunning mountain views.

  • Popular for Mani Rimdu Festival in Tengboche.

  • Trails are busier—book lodges and Lukla flights in advance.

Winter (December to February)

  • Extreme cold, snow-covered passes.

  • Quiet trails but risky conditions.

  • Only for experienced trekkers with winter gear.

Monsoon (June to August)

  • Heavy rainfall, landslides, and poor visibility.

  • Leeches and slippery trails.

  • Not recommended unless you're trekking in rain shadow areas.


Final Tips Before You Go

  • Acclimatize properly—don’t rush over the passes.

  • Carry microspikes/crampons in early spring and late autumn.

  • Travel with a guide for safety and local insights.

  • Buy insurance that covers high-altitude rescue.
