It was my first trek to Nepal. Don't worry if you don't speak English well!
I came to Nepal for the first time and joined the trek! My guide Rabin, who accompanied me, did a good job of entertaining me with a very reliable humor. They communicated very hard with me as a Japanese who could not speak English. After 16 days together, I could see that we were gradually connecting. If you are thinking of trekking in Nepal, I highly recommend you to get in touch with Rabin.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveller, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that your first trekking experience in Nepal was such a positive and memorable one. It’s heartwarming to know that Rabin’s care, humor, and effort to communicate made your 16-day journey not only enjoyable but deeply meaningful—even across language barriers. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We’re so glad the connection grew stronger day by day, and we’ll be sure to pass along your appreciation to Rabin. Thank you once again for choosing Adventure Bound. We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime! Warm regards, Adventure Bound Team

wonderful trip!
All in all, it was a wonderful trip! I would like to thank Adventure Bound, the guides, and porters for their support, which far exceeded my expectations. Since this was my first solo trip to Nepal, I had a lot of detailed questions before participating, but they answered them thoroughly and I was able to participate with peace of mind. I probably asked about 50 questions, but I received more detailed answers than I expected. The toilet situation, how to spend time at the lodge, etc. The process was just right and I had plenty of free time, which was helpful. My guide, Mr. Jiban, was always there to watch over me so that I could trek safely, and he was always considerate of me during meals so that I wouldn't get bored. They took many good photos of me, and went beyond their role as a guide to stay close to me. The porters also kept us safe and supported. After trekking, I stayed at a hotel owned by this company in Kathmandu, and the staff took good care of me. If I ever come to Nepal again, I would like to join Adventure Bound!
Response from the operator: "Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your first solo trip to Nepal was such a memorable experience. It’s great to know that Jiban’s guidance and care helped you feel safe and comfortable throughout your trek. We’re also happy that you felt well taken care of at every step, from answering your questions to providing thoughtful support during meals and photos. We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to welcome you back on another adventure with Adventure Bound in the future!"

Nepal 🇳🇵 I fell in love with the Himalayas.
This time, my 82-year-old mother who lives in Japan, my twin sister who lives in France, and myself who lives in Taiwan went on a Himalayan trekking for the first time. Our guide, Raj, speaks Japanese very well, and even more than that, we could feel from his behavior that the Japanese people cherish their families and respect their elders, which is the same in Nepal, even without saying a word. It made the Himalayan trekking even more moving, and it was a wonderful and unforgettable trip. It is a very precious treasure to me. When I saw Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Tamserk, Khumbui Yul la in the panoramic view from Shyanboche Hill, I couldn't stop crying. A world of light, light, light. I am nothing, and I don't have to be anything. I felt an abundance of gentle energy. When I go again someday, I would like to have Raj as my guide. And walking next to me will be my sister and other family members. I have completely fallen in love with Nepal🇳🇵 Himalayas🇳🇵 Sagarmatha. Thank you to Raj-san, the two strong porters, and the smiling, wonderful CEO for taking care of us. I'll come again.
Response from the operator: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing such a moving and beautiful story. We are deeply honored that your first Himalayan trekking experience—shared across three generations and different countries—became such a precious memory. Trekking with your mother, sisters, and family spirit in the Himalayas is truly special, and we’re very proud that Adventure Bound could be part of it. Your words about Raj mean a lot to us. His respect for elders, care for family, and quiet kindness reflect the values we hold deeply in Nepal, and we’re glad that this made your journey even more meaningful beyond the mountains themselves. Experiencing the panorama from Syangboche—Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and more—is something that touches the soul, and we can truly feel your emotion through your words. Thank you as well for your appreciation of our porters and team. We will share your message with Raj and everyone involved—they will be very touched. Nepal, the Himalayas, and Sagarmatha will always welcome you back. When you return, we’ll be here—and we’d be honored to walk beside you and your family again.

Three Passes with Adventure Bound is worth it!
Getting off the EBC main track, and witnessing the beauty of the Himalayas is worth the challenge! Our guide Raman was professional, patient, knowledgeable and great company His cultural understanding of Nepal was extensive, not surprising as he holds a master's degree in Sociology from Kathmandu. I would trek again with Raman at Adventure Bound!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that stepping off the main EBC route and taking on the Three Passes trek was such a rewarding challenge. It’s great to know that Raman’s professionalism, patience, and deep cultural knowledge added real value to the journey. Thank you for trekking with Adventure Bound.

Everest Three Pass Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Three Pass Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $2,200 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 Pass Trek take?
+
Plan for about 408 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 Pass Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Pass Trek?
+
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 Pass Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 408-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Everest Three Pass Trek?
+
Around 2 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 408-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Everest Three Pass Trek 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.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 459 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Everest Three Pass Trek offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
