    Three High Passes - not for the faint-hearted but SO much fun!

    My second trip to Nepal was even better than the first. The meticulous planning and arranging by Dawa and Gombu made the whole experience that much better because I did not have to concern myself with getting from the airport to my accommodation, book flights up to Lukla and back or even find myself a trekking guide and porter. It was all done for me. All I had to do was trek, eat, sleep and repeat. My guide was a very experienced trekking guide with more that 20yrs experience. He updates his first aid and mountain safety certificates every year and abides by the protocols set by the governing body. My porter was the most wonderful, smiling, energetic young man - who beat me at cards many times. I cannot emphasise enough how safe I feel, travelling solo as a middle-aged woman, with Adventure Thamserku and their organisation and people. Thank you, I will be back for more adventures soon.

    Response from the operator: Dear Erica, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Company. We are so pleased with your positive response. Besides our services and hospitality. Your Precious words encourage us to provide better service in the Future. We are very sure that you will definitely visit this beautiful country next time. With Regards Bhagwat Simkhada

    Amazing 20 day vacation in Nepal

    I went on the Everest 3 high passes trek followed by adventure activities in Pokhara with Ang Dawa Sherpa as my guide and Mr. Bhagwat arranging the entire trip. The trek itself was very challenging (and cold) and Ang Dawa was very friendly and helpful during the entire trek and was very open to customization of the trek depending on how my body was coping with the high altitude. It also helped that he knew someone wherever we went and arranged for the best stays while on the trek. Will definitely recommend both of them to my friends and family when they are looking for trekking in Nepal.

    Response from the operator: Dear Nikhil, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our company. We are so pleased with your positive response. Besides our services and hospitality. Your precious words encourage us to provide better service in the future. We are very sure that you will definitely visit this beautiful country next time. With Regards Bhagwat Simkhada

    Everest 3 passes trek

    Three passes was a challenging trekking. Last summer our group did the Everest three passes trek with our guide Ang Pemba he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Even the trekking is as hard but we competed the trekking without any problem which is good for us. Both the company boss, guide and porters was very nice. See you in future.

    Response from the operator: Dear Amalyeeg, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our company. We are so pleased with your positive response. Besides our services and hospitality. Your precious words encourage us to provide better service in the future. We are very sure that you will definitely visit this beautiful country next time.

    Himalayas Aventures Highly recommended for hiking in Nepal

    Himalayas Adventures helped us with the hotel, Local flights and private car arrangements. They went above and beyond and were always looking for ways to help us in our trip, even getting back my backpack which was lost by the airline while I was hiking. Will definitely use their services again in a future trip to Nepal. Bagwat was particularly outstanding.

    Response from the operator: Dear Dream, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our company. We are so pleased with your positive response. Besides our services and hospitality. Your precious words encourage us to provide better service in future. We are very sure that you will definitely visit this beautiful country next time.

    Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days take?

    +

    Plan for about 456 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 456-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 456-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Everest Three High Passes Trek - 19 Days?

    +

    Included: Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) and Khumbu valley Permit; Pick up from Airport and Transfer to the hotel by private vehicle; Last Night farewell dinner at authentic Nepalese restaurant with cultural performance; Lunch; and Dinner.
