Description
Photography Trekking High Pass Trek gives you a chance to take photos of the Himalayas, mountains, and the scenic view of massive Mount Everest. Every step of the way there is an opportunity to be present throughout the entirety of the trek, not just at the summit of the amazing Three High Pass Everest trekking presents an adventurous experience, with stunning and unparalleled mountain views of passing three high passes of Everest region Kangma La (5500m), Cho- La(5320) and Renjo -La(5400) in this incredible journey with ascents of Kala Patthar and Gokyo Peak (5350m), is perhaps the ultimate Everest experience in Khumbu Himalaya range.
Walk along the icy trails of high passes and exhilarate yourself with the challenges that come on the way. The rising altitude and the rocky terrain are the two main challenges that come by! As it is said, great experiences are collected through hard work and tolerance. “Looking the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference no shortcuts to any place worth going.”
Beginning with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the adventure begins. That is only a tiny airstrip trek route via high passes and then to the Khumbu Himalayas walk side to side with abundance and trekkers are Sherpa villages Benkar, Monjo, Chioma, and Jorsale landscape dotted with Buddhist stupas and colorful prayer-flags. A steep climb up to the beautiful village of Namche Bazaar is full of striking views of the Himalayas. Specifically, Ama-Dablam and the Lhotse-Nuptse face. The trek takes us through the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park, with pine forests, rhododendron flowers, and an abundance of wildlife which makes our journey remarkable.
On this trek of Three High Pass Everest trekking, 5 glacial lakes of the Gokyo valley are explorable. Trekking in the Everest region is justifiably popular, but on this trek, we go off the beaten track. Besides remote valleys and over-high passes with superlative scenery every step of the way. In addition, you can see a range of floras from pine and hemlock forests at lower altitudes. As well as the fir, juniper, birch, and rhododendron woods.
