Everest Three pass trek
I recently completed the Everest Three Passes Trek with Trek Mania Nepal. This was my second time on the route, so I know what a well-run trek looks like, and the team exceeded my expectations. Everything was handled smoothly, from pre-trip coordination and permits to the daily logistics, lodging and pacing. Crossing Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La is demanding, and having a team that plans carefully for safety and acclimatization made a real difference. A special shout-out goes to our guide, Mr Kumar. When I was tired, he offered to help with my luggage without being asked, which made a huge difference on the long, tough days. He was also motivating and supportive throughout, always encouraging me to push my limits while keeping safety first. His knowledge of the terrain and his positive attitude kept spirits high, especially on the pass days. If you're planning the Three Passes, I'd happily recommend Trek Mania Nepal, and I'd ask for Mr Kumar by name. I would trek with them again without hesitation

Exceptional Three Passes Trek Experience with Trek Mania
We did the Three Passes trek this September and booked through Trek Mania. With so many companies to choose from, it’s hard to know which one will be best, but we’re glad we made the right choice! The owner was incredibly friendly and ensured we were well taken care of from the moment we arrived in Kathmandu. The guide he arranged for us, Hem, was outstanding—kind, knowledgeable, and always looking out for us. When we encountered bad weather, Hem truly shined, expertly guiding us to safety. We honestly don’t know what we would have done without him. Along the way, we also learned so much about the surrounding landscape and local culture. Trek Mania made sure everything was organized, so all we had to do was focus on enjoying the hike, which was exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Tony, Namaste! Thank you so much for your wonderful review about your trekking experience with Trek Mania Nepal. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience on the Everest Three Passes trek. It’s great to know that our team, especially our guide Hem, made a difference during your adventure, especially in challenging weather. We strive to ensure that our guests feel safe and well taken care of while immersing themselves in the beautiful culture and landscapes of the region. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another trek in the future! Safe travels! Best regards, Trek Mania Nepal

Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $1,485 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 Passes Trek 16 Days take?
+
Plan for about 384 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 Passes Trek 16 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 384-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Everest Three Passes Trek 16 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 384-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Everest Three Passes Trek 16 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 Passes Trek 16 Days?
+
Included: Trekking permits: Sagarmatha National Park Area fees; License Holder English speaking trekking guide; Guide salary, lodging, food and insurance; Flight ticket Kathmandu to Lukla to Kathmandu; and Airport pickup and drop service. Not included: Meals; Visa fee to enter Nepal; International flight tickets and extra baggage charges; and Extra night accommodation and meal costs in Kathmandu due to any change in the scheduled i. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 462 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Everest Three Passes Trek 16 Days if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
