HIGH PASSES OF EVEREST
24 days from GBP2,036 to GBP2,271 including flights
Tripcode: TNG
Three high passes and many superb viewpoints make this perhaps the best of all Everest circuits
Surely the ultimate Everest trek. Starting from the famous Khumbu Valley, home of the Sherpas, we acclimatise before following the trail taken by many of the great Everest climbers to Lobuje. Here we take the chance to ascend Kala Pattar. Entering the quieter Gokyo Valley we are surrounded by incredible glacial lakes and an ascent of Gokyo Ri offers unbeatable panoramic views. Our goal is a daywalk to the Nangpa La where we can stand with one foot in Nepal and one foot in Tibet! With most of the walking above 3600m this is not for the novice, but for those who are fit and have previously trekked at altitude.
