Important Note
But for the concern of Acute Mountain Sickness, Vertex Holiday has customized the trekking itinerary with adequate acclimatization days. Because we believe that with the right kind of preparation and motivation, anyone is going to be able to complete this wonderful trekking trip with little to less difficulty.
As most of the trekking trail is in the alpine zone, strong willpower and endurance are needed to complete this trek. A pair of good hiking boots and crampons for hiking is a better idea for this trek.
Due to the extreme and strenuous nature of the trek, it is advised not to attempt this trek as an individual. It is always a smart choice to consult with a professional trekking organizer. However, if you are a person who is willing to take strong challenges, then it is wiser to join a group of individual trekkers.

It is not that tough or difficult depending upon one fitness level. However all trekkers are well aware traveling around high Himalaya region can lead to some difficulties. But as trek progresses on daily walks one will be used to the altitude and rough terrain and trail. The only hard will be crossing the passes when it is full of deep snow, where our guide will check if it is safe or not.
Gradual path with few short ups and down, walking on hard rocky ground, as you get closer to Kongma-La the first pass. Climb on rocky ledges around moraine of rocks with some snow and ice sections to encounter. As you will crossing over Khumbu glacier also to reach overnight stop at Lobuche. Where path are lined with rocks and scree, needs to follow the guide in groups.
Not that tough, as long one takes it slowly with enough refreshing stops along the way, some section is quite steep but more or less walking on grassy path. As you reach close on top climb on rocks of black boulders withered by snow and strong wind, hence the name ‘Kala’ for black and ‘Pathar’ for rocks. The only tough and hard will be if the trail is covered in snow and ice can make the walk slippery, especially on downhill.
A short panoramic flight of 30 to 35 minutes, an exciting flight overlooking panorama of Himalayan peaks with view of Mt. Everest.
Yes, all lodges on Everest Three High Passes do have electricity. From Lukla onwards to Tengboche have hydro power, Dingboche and other settlements have their own solar power, where you can charge your electronic gadgets, where you need to pay certain fee for charging per hour per items. The price of charging differs from one place to another.
Yes all drinking water is safe, which is boiled and filtered as the lodge owners does not want their reputation down, as they needs customers again and again in near future.
Flying to Lukla on a smaller aircraft, where baggage allowance is 20 kg including your hand bags, or day packs. To keep the weight less wear heavier gear like trekking boots and down jackets on the flight to make the baggage less weight
It is mentioned above, depending upon you holiday vacation and time of booking the trip, the best is in spring or autumn season. If you are strong and able can join on this trek even in winter time during Christmas holidays. It will be tough and cold, shorter day light hours, but can venture for this wonderful Everest Three Passes Trek
