Your journey launches from Lukla, where crisp mountain air signals the adventure ahead. Along ancient Sherpa paths, each day unfolds like a masterpiece: prayer flags dance against glacial peaks, monastery bells pierce the silence, and native villagers share glimpses of their mountain life.
This signature trek ventures far beyond the standard Base Camp route. You’ll discover the pristine Gokyo Lakes, master the formidable Kongma La Pass, and witness Everest from exclusive vantage points few ever experience.

Do I need previous high-altitude trekking experience?
Yes, previous high-altitude trekking experience is highly recommended. The trek involves crossing three passes above 5,000m and requires excellent physical fitness and mental preparation.
What level of fitness is required for the High Passes trek?
You should be able to hike 6-8 hours daily for consecutive days while carrying a light daypack. Regular cardio training and hill walking for at least 3 months before the trek is essential.
