Trek to the Everest Three Passes: 7 Reasons Why

Last Updated on May 26, 2023 by Treks Planner Nepal

Trek to the Everest Three Passes: 7 Reasons Why you should opt for it. For those seeking a comprehensive trekking experience in the Everest area, the Everest Three Passes Trek offers an outstanding itinerary. One of the toughest and most rewarding trips that can be done in the Himalayas is the Everest Three Passes Trek, which lasts 18 to 20 days. The trekkers may explore the perennially famous Everest Base Camp while also traveling off the beaten road to some of Nepal’s most breathtaking (and sometimes underrated) places.

The Cho La (5400 m), the Kongma La (5535 m), and the Renjo La (5360 m) are three of the trek’s three passes as you make your way over the diverse landscape. Gokyo Lakes, traditional settlements, the large Ngozumpa Glacier, and, of course, breathtaking vistas of four of the ten highest mountains in the world, Cho Oyu (8,201 m), Makalu (8,463 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), and Everest (8,850 m), are the sights that await you.

The trek starts with an exhilarating flight to Lukla. From Namche, the trip turns anticlockwise, towards Tengboche. From there, it continues on to Kalapatthar and Everest Base Camp via Kongma-la Pass. The trek continues as you cross Cho-la and Renjo-la passes and ascend to Gokyo-Ri. Experience the monastery life, the old trading route, and the culture, tradition, and way of life of the highland Sherpas.

1. Greater nature, fewer people

With so many companies offering a regular trek to Everest Base Camp, the popular Everest dream is one that many people may now easily fulfill. 500 people per day may travel to the Base Camp during the peak season. This large and stunning area does, however, nonetheless contain certain areas that are more tranquil and unaltered. After Namche, The Three Passes departs from the conventional and busier Everest Base Camp route and leads you through the spectacular Khumbu Region’s terrain.

2. With Great Challenge Comes a Great Reward.

In addition to being longer, the trip is more challenging than the standard Everest Base Camp route because it entails crossing the three high passes that give it its name: Renjo La, Cho La, and Kongma La, each of which is higher than 5,000 m (16,500 ft). Although the trek includes two days for rest and acclimatization, you’ll still spend most of your days trekking for roughly 5-8 hours each day at high elevations, necessitating a specific level of fitness, willpower, and stamina. Even for seasoned Himalayan trekkers, this path is a real struggle. The Three Passes trek, on the other hand, truly offers the finest of the Khumbu region if you are prepared for the challenge.

3. Thame: A Unique Sherpa Village

The opportunity to see Thame, a typical Sherpa settlement, is one of this trek’s special parts. Thame has a very excellent and deep history for such a tiny community that doesn’t see many visitors.
One of the oldest monasteries in the Khumbu area, acknowledged for its yearly Mani Rimdu celebration, is also located near Thame. There is nowhere else like Thame. It is a community of perseverance, beauty, spirituality, and strength, and visiting it can be a memorable experience.

4. Witness Exceptional Views from the Summit of Gokyo Ri and Kala Patthar

On this trek, you’ll get the chance to climb two summits, Kala Patthar (5,545 m) and Gokyo Ri (5,357 m), from where you’ll get the most breathtaking views of the Himalayas’ greatest peaks.

The Everest Base Camp trek’s highest point is Kala Patthar, which means “black rock” and is the tallest of the two summits. It is the highest point in the Himalayas that can be reached without the need for technical climbing skills, which makes it the most popular mountain for trekking. It also has stunning vistas. Since Base Camp can’t view the Everest summit, most trekkers choose to hike Kala Patthar in order to see it. In addition to spectacular views of the neighboring peaks Nuptse Nup, Changtse, and Lhotse, Kala Patthar offers the “official” and boastful up-close and personal perspective of Everest.

Gokyo Ri is less visited than Kala Patthar, although having attractions that may compete with the more well-known summit. Many people consider the view from Gokyo Ri to be even greater than the one you get from Kala Patthar, despite the fact that the mountain vistas are farther away. Four of the 14 highest peaks in the world, totaling more than 8,000 meters, are visible from there: Everest (8850 m), Lhotse (8501 m), Makalu (8475 m), Cho Oyu (8153 m), and more.

5. Witness the Ngozumpa glacier

The Khumbu Glacier at the foot of Everest is what most people picture, but the Ngozumpa Glacier in the Gokyo Valley is really bigger and more magnificent. The glacier itself, which flows from Cho Oyu’s face, is the longest in the Himalayas and extends 36 kilometers (22 miles) into the Gokyo Valley. In recent years, the glacier’s lower end has been melting, and multiple lakes have emerged on the glacier’s surface. The ice is still there behind the heavy layer of moraine material (rocks) that covers much of the bottom portion of the glacier.

6. Cross three challenging 5,000 m passes: Renjo La, Cho La, and Kongma La

The Everest or Khumbu area of eastern Nepal is where you’ll undertake the Everest Three Passes Trek. There are three high passes in the Everest area to cross on the way to Gokyo and Everest Base Camp: Renjo La (5360m), Cho La (5420m), and Kongma La (5535m). All three crossings offer stunning views of the Khumbu region’s many mountain peaks, including Everest (8848.86m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Makalu (8481m), Pumori (7161m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Lhotse (8516m), and Nuptse (7861m).

The trekkers get a glimpse of Buddhism in the Himalayas by passing through a number of historic monasteries along the way. The trekkers reach the beautiful Gokyo Lakes and Ngozumpa Glacier, the biggest glacier in the Khumbu area, after passing through the first pass, Renjo La (5360m). The route over the second pass, Cho La (5420m), leads to Kalapatthar (5550m) and Everest Base Camp (5364m), both of which provide breathtaking views of the spectacular Khumbu Himalayas and the Khumbu Icefall. The trip back to Namche, Lukla, and a flight back to Kathmandu begins with the ascent of the 5535-meter Khongma La Pass. The three passes trip is the ideal way to see both breathtaking natural beauty and profound cross-cultural discovery.

7. Make A Circuit To Discover More

Since it traverses the Everest region, The Three Passes, and Everest Base Camp is considered the most comprehensive trek in Nepal. Travelers who undertake the standard Everest Base Camp trip follow the same route both up and down. The Three Passes and Everest Base Camp journey, however, is completed in a loop. As a result, you spend considerably less time going back and repeating yourself and much more time admiring the Himalayas’ beautiful scenery.

You can go either clockwise or counterclockwise on the trek. However, it is important to note that when you go counterclockwise, going up northeast to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar first before taking Cho La Pass to Gokyo and snaking back down through Renjo La and Thame to Namche Bazar, the scenery gets progressively better and acclimatization is easier, it is also possible to complete the trek faster. But ultimately, everything comes down to personal choice. The Everest Base Camp is the first stop on our typical route since it has a simpler acclimatization pattern.

Mardi Himal Trek Vs Langtang Valley Trek

Last Updated on May 23, 2023 by Treks Planner Nepal

We certainly hope that our thorough analysis of the Mardi Himal Trek vs. Langtang Valley Trek will help you in picking the ideal trekking route.

ABOUT MARDI HIMAL TREK

Trekkers can take in a breathtaking view of the spectacular Annapurna massif, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, and Manaslu from the base camp of Mardi Himal, which is reached by the Mardi Himal trekking path at a height of 4500 meters. Additionally, it offers a stunning viewpoint of the Annapurna Sanctuary’s blue glaciers. In Nepal’s Annapurna area, the position is to the east of the Annapurna Base Camp. This off-the-beaten-path route leads hikers up to the base of Mardi Himal via unspoiled tiny Tamang and Gurung towns, a grove of rhododendron and juniper, and away from more congested trails.

ABOUT LANGTANG VALLEY TREK

With more than 70 glaciers of varying sizes, Himal mountain ranges, and high altitude lakes like Parvati Kund, Bhairavkunda, Dudhkunda, and even the most famous Gosainkunda with an area of 13,8 ha, surface elevation of 14,370 ft, and water volume of 1,472,000 m3, Langtang is a region in the Himalayas of Nepal that borders Tibet. The skills, attire, traditionally built stone home, and exquisitely carved wooden entryway of the local population demonstrate their rich Himalayan culture and heritage. The majority of the people in these communities are of Tibetan and Tamang ethnicity.

Chimse Danda, a steep mountain range to the south, is traversed by the passes of Ganja La (5,122 m), Jugal Himal, and Dorje Lakpa (6,989 m). The Langtang Khola (river) is fed by glaciers that formed on the slopes of Dorje Lakpa, Langtang Lirung, and other peaks. Before pouring in a ridiculing torrent into the Bhote Koshi River from a long, tight gorge at the western end of the valley, the Langtang River travels through the high, Langtang valley. The Langtang Khola, a major part of the Trisuli Ganga, runs east to west over the grain of the nation, while several large rivers originate in Tibet and travel south, slicing through the Himalayan mountain range.

LANGTANG TREK HIGHLIGHTS:

Explore Langtang National Park, the first national park in the Himalayas, which was founded in 1976 and has a total land area of 1,710 km2.
Witness snow-capped peaks like Yala Peak (5700m), Gang Chhenpo (6388m), Dorji Lhakpa (6966m), and Langtang Lirung (7245m).
Discover more than 70 glaciers and the stunning lakes of the Langtang Valley, including Gosainkunda (4,380 m), Parvatikunda, Bhairavkunda, and Dudhkunda.
An overview of the Tamang and Tibetan languages, together with the complex way of life of those who are still in growth, unquestionably establishes a hard and rigid touch throughout Langtang.
Possibility of trekking to a number of stunning snowcapped mountains and valleys, including Ganesh Himal, Tsho Rolpa Lake Trek, Tashi Lapcha Pass Trek, Gosainkunda Lake Trek, Langtang Valley Trek, and Helambu Trek

MARDI HIMAL TREK HIGHLIGHTS

Stunning dawn and sunset views from many different places
Beautiful scenery, little villages, farms, rice terraces, breathtaking hills and mountains, and vibrant rhododendron woods in the spring
Magnificent views of the Annapurna South (7,010 m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441 m), and Machhapuchhre Himal (6,993 m).
Beautiful homestays and friendly local hospitality
Possibility of visiting Mardi Himal High Camp and Mardi Himal Base Camp regional diversity in plants and animals
The social culture and way of life of the Magar and Gurung ethnic groups

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE TREK?

LANGTANG

Different kinds of Rhododendrons, an extensive Bamboo forest, stunning scenery, a range of snow-capped mountains, and a diversity of fauna, including Red Pandas, are all highlights of this region’s excursion. Following a local path upstream along the Bhote Koshi River, passing past ethnic Tamang settlements, a verdant forest, and the vast Langtang valley with magnificent mountain views on all sides. The route to the Shin Gompa can be taken again, leading to a high plateau near the revered Lake Gosaikunda. The region gives morning views across the many sparkling lakes of this holy site.

MARDI HIMAL

This location is regarded as one of the undiscovered Annapurna’s secret beauties, and the trekking trail is said to be an unbeatable route. It is ideal to experience the splendor of isolated, perpetually snow-capped peaks as well as the enormous possibility of amazing cultural exchange and the wonder of Machhapuchhare Base Camp. The colorful and intriguing path meanders through lush valleys, alpine meadows, lichen-covered forests, numerous streams, and waterfalls while offering breathtaking mountain vistas that reflect on the surrounding skyline.

TREKKING DIFFICULTY IN THIS REGION?

LANGTANG TREK DIFFICULTY

It is regarded as a moderate trek that doesn’t require any prior experience, with a path that includes uphill and downhill approaches as well as some steep sections. The difficulty of the walk also depends on the time of year. Trekking in the area is most convenient in the spring (March through May) and fall (September through November) months. You can tackle the Langtang trek difficulties even though the trekking route has rough terrain and rocky pathways if you are mentally and physically prepared and have the right gear packed. And if you’re a beginner hiker, you can choose the finest hiking season to ease the difficulty of the hike.

MARDI HIMAL TREK DIFFICULTY

As it is a teahouse trek, this route is rather simple. The majority of trekkers have regarded it as an easy trek due to its short length and lack of tough terrain. However, because of the strenuous lengthy hikes and several steep climbs, novice hikers have also ranked it as a medium-difficult trip. On the Mardi Himal foothills, it takes around 5 to 6 hours of walking, with breaks for resting in between. Despite the trip being uphill, the altitude might not be too much of an issue. That’s because there have been rest times planned correctly.

HOW MUCH BUDGET IS NEEDED?

LANGTANG AND MARDI HIMAL TREK BUDGET

The estimated cost depends on the type of trek being undertaken and the spendthrift factor. But generally speaking, prices range from about US $500 to US $1500. It also depends on how much one wants to treat themselves to different extra indulgences.

ARE PERMITS REQUIRED FOR THIS TREK?

Both trekking regions need a permit. Before beginning a trek in the Langtang and Mardi trek areas, you must have a permit. You will need to show them at several checkpoints along the way. It is a good idea to get permission before the trip begins. In any case, you may get a trekking permit at the trailhead if you are unable to do so in Kathmandu.

LANGTANG REGION PERMITS:

TIMS card Entry Permit
Langtang National Park Entry Permit

LANGTANG VALLEY TREK VIA GOSAIKUNDA LAKE

MARDI TREK PERMIT:

Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP)
TIMS card

SHORT MARDI HILA TREK PACKAGE

WHY ARE PERMITS REQUIRED?

The Langtang and Annapurna Region Trekking Permits are significant in their own right.
By preserving the trekker’s history inside the National Park, the permit contributes to the preservation of the trekkers’ safety and security. The information may then be gathered to assist the authorities in helping you in the event of any crises like earthquakes, landslides, etc. These permits assist in maintaining rules and regulations as well.

HOW MUCH GUIDE AND PORTER TIPPED IN NEPAL?

Tipping is anticipated because the guide or porter depends heavily on tips for income or savings. Tipping is depending on how well your hiking team performed. It all depends on how happy you were with the hospitality shown to you and the services that were rendered to you, so if you are, feel free to tip accordingly. Typically, 12–15% of the total trip cost is regarded as the optimum tip range. Depending on how satisfied you are with the guide and porter, you can divide the cost between them.

Everything About Everest Mani Rimdu Festival 2023

Last Updated on May 19, 2023 by Treks Planner Nepal

Everything About Everest Mani Rimdu Festival 2023. Everest region is well known for trekking and breathtaking mountain vistas, yet it is also well known for the yearly Everest Mani Rimdu festival, one of the most intriguing High Himalayan Buddhist celebrations. At the monasteries of Tengboche, Thame, and Chiwong in Solukhumbu, Nepal, the Mani Rimdu Festival is celebrated. The three-day Mani Rimdu Festival is held at the Everest region’s monastery of Tengboche at a high altitude during the full moon in October or November. Each year, the monks of Tengboche Monastery, the most renowned monastery in the Everest region, perform a Buddhist Dance Drama. During the Mani Rimdu Festival, Sherpas and cultural admirers from all over the world visit the monastery to celebrate Buddhism and learn about the local way of life. The Mani Rimdu Festival Trek is a delightful trip where you may take in the masked dances while taking in the panoramic views of Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Nuptse (7855m), Ama Dablam (6812m), Kongde Himal (6200m), and Thamserku (6430m).

When will the Mani Rimdu festival celebrate in 2023?

The head lama in charge of the Tyangboche Monastery announces the dates, which are heavily influenced by the Tibetan lunar calendar. The Mani Rimdu is often conducted in Tengboche at the full moon of the ninth Tibetan month, which normally occurs in October or November. The 28th, 29th, and 30th of October in 2023 have been set out as the Mani Rimdu Festival dates.

Six Preparations comprise Mani Rimdu Festival:

1. Constructing the Sand Mandala

A sand mandala is built step by step. Complicated and symbolic designs are created using colored sand. It takes many days to construct a sand mandala. The Mandala is surrounded by protective blades that represent the gods. Above the center is positioned the bowl containing the spiritual medicine known as Mani Rilwu. The palace of Garwang Thoze Chenpo (Lord of the Dance) is represented by the mandala. The major idol of Mani Rimdu, the Buddha of Kindness, is created. The monks chant “OM AH HUNG RHI, OM MANI PADME HUMG” hundreds of times throughout the course of the weeks leading up to the open celebration. They visualize compassion flowing into the Mandala and the Mani Rilwu tablets while they are in a state of meditation. Then, kindness spreads from the Mandala, benefitting everyone present at the Mani Rimdu celebration.

2. Wong: The Empowerment

The Wong is the first official day of the event. In accordance with the Tibetan lunar calendar, it is conducted on the full moon day of the ninth month. Everyone in attendance receives the holy Mani Rilwu (sacred or blessed pills) and Tshereel (pills for long life).

3. Chham: The Dances

75474197 2397424497023622 182664186004766720 n

On the second day of Mani Rimdu, the dances are performed. Symbolic demons are defeated, chased away, or changed into Dharma Protectors. Positive forces fight those disorders through the dances, which is the dance’s theme. The dances communicate Buddhist teaching on a variety of levels, from the most basic to the most abstract. The monks are said to transform into divine beings while dancing. Because the dances are regarded as being extremely sacred and not just for fun, they are only done at Mani Rimdu.

4. Ser-Kyem

The most common use of Ser-Kyem is offering tea to Mahakala and other Dharma guardians. It is made up of two pieces: a smaller elevated offering bowl and a bigger raised dish-shaped bowl. When the offering is made, the smaller dish is put upright in the bigger dish. The smaller offering bowl is positioned within the bigger bowl, upside down, while not in use. When in use, the bigger dish can also hold the food offerings. In several rituals, this offering of spiritual nectar is made. Ngag-pa, or Tantric magicians, are represented by the six dancers.

They offer miniature tormas and wine in silver containers to the Earth deities Shi-Dak, Yidam, Khandro, and the Lama. The Lama (spiritual leader), Yidam (personal deity), and Khandro (wisdom dakini) are places where a Buddhist consultant finds “refuge.” Making sacrifices to these entities in order to enlist their assistance in carrying out the moral deeds that lead to Buddhahood is a fundamental aspect of Tibetan Buddhist practice.

5. Jinsak: The Fire Puja

The day following the dances, the Fire Puja is held in the yard. The purpose of the Fire Puja is to appease all damage in the world by presenting Agni, the god of fire, and the Gods of the mandala. The damage is pictured as burning butter and melting into the grain. After that, the temple’s sand mandala is destroyed, and the sand is offered to the snake gods (Nagas).

6. Chhingpa

The following dance shows the Four Protecting Ghings safeguarding Buddhism from demonic attack. The dancers’ colorful, always smiling features are concealed by glistening paper masks. Cymbals are rhythmically beaten in time with the dancers’ jumps. The dancers intentionally startle the young audience members by charging at them.

The Dakini dance is cheerfully performed. Five young priests perform slow-motion dancing moves in perfect sync with the slow beat and gentle chime of bells and drums. The dancers, who don’t wear masks, represent Padmasambhava’s female spiritual lovers. They are thought to originate from Shangdok Palri, his pristine homeland, where they still reside. They announce Guru Rinpochhe’s impending arrival at the Mani Rimdu. The two female Ghing hold drums, while the two male Ghing carries cymbals. The men symbolize skill, and the females for wisdom; these are the two sides of the path. Barley flour is used to make the torma, and colored butter is used for the decoration. By the time the ceremony is through, it represents both the enlightenment itself and the deity’s body. At the center of the temple, it sits in front of the mandala on its own shrine.
