Main attractions:
This trek in itself is a treasure. There is so much to see and so much to experience; it’s like a walk towards epiphany. If it is your first time in Everest region, the regular part of the base camp trek which starts from Lukla then to Namche Bazar and eventually to Everest base camp will be a huge deal for you. However, the main attractions of this daunting trek are: Tsho La, Renjo La and Kongma La (the three passes, all above 5,000m). Also, it is a special feeling to witness life and culture at such high altitudes as you do in the Sherpa village, Nagpa La valley and other Sherpa villages. The view of the mountains, flora and fauna, labyrinthine routes, the amazing tapestry of the night sky only seen from such heights and most of the trek is the part of main attractions.
Best season:
With great altitude comes highly fluctuating weather. The best seasons to embark on the Everest high passes trek are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). These seasons help make your trek efficient as well as provide you with stunning clear views.
