Every challenging road to success for an individual is worth the struggle if the sense of accomplishment at the end brings you a realization of your own purpose in life. Everest Circuit trekking is one of those incredible journeys that will leave an indelible memory for a trekker to cherish for a lifetime.

Everest Circuit trekking is a life-changing experience that is designed for those adventure seekers who want to explore the whole Everest region with an enthusiastic and determined spirit. This is a challenging trek that demands physical fitness and a few years of experience in climbing high altitude mountains. Since this is one of the most adventurous and stunning treks in the Khumbu Region, Everest Circuit trekking covers all the beautiful treasure of this area. As challenging as it is, this is undoubtedly the finest mountain journeys in the Himalayas that have a blend of unique Sherpa cultures and traditions in it. The trek provides an opportunity to visit the world-famous Tengboche monastery which is at a height of 3860 m to give you a better insight on Buddhist culture.

Fascinating Everest Circuit trekking leads us to the home of the legendary Sherpa people, based at the foothills of the highest peak in the world, Mt. Everest which is at an altitude of 8848m. Everest circuit trekking is followed by the highly praised trekking route which passes through the mesmerizing Dudh Koshi to its source the Gokyo Lake. Gokyo Lake is to the west of the Everest base camp which subsequently takes you towards the summit Gokyo Peak (5483 m). Gokyo Peak offers a fantastic panoramic view of the snow-capped, Mt. Cho Oyu, Mt. Everest and Mt. Makalu and is said to be a paradise for photographers as they get an outstanding shot of the mountains up-close.

En route back to Lukla, we cross the Chola pass which is followed by Everest base camp, Kalapathar, down to Tengboche monastery, Everest view hotel, and Namche Bazaar. On our Everest circuit trekking, we enjoy the awe-inspiring views of Everest including several other similar peaks and explore the Buddhist monasteries located at the world's highest elevation.

We did Everest Circuit Trekking with Alpine Eco Trek

We did Everest Circuit Trekking also called Everest three passes trek with Alpine Eco Trek in April 2017, spanning around 2 and a half weeks. This was a challenging and demanding high altitude trekking with all 3 passes above 5600m, EBC at 5400m and Kala Patthar at 5550m. Ram Kumar, who runs Alpine Eco Trek, carried out the entire planning and logistics for this trek. Ram Kumar is tremendously knowledgeable about the routes on this trek and was very responsive, fast, detailed, helpful and flexible right from the first interaction we had till much after completing the trek. Ram Gopal, the trek guide and porters, Dhurba, Amit and Rajan were excellent, had a focus on safety, were courteous and helpful and most of them had prior experience trekking these routes. Boarding, lodging, and food was excellent throughout the trek relative to the tea house facilities available on these routes. Information provided by Ram on weather conditions, altitude sickness, safety, health, water, and food aspects were outstanding and very useful. The Everest Circuit trek in itself, for the most part, comprised of long 5 to 8 hour walks over 4000m, through steep inclines, snowy and icy paths, huge glaciers, moraine, and pretty cold conditions. These challenges, however, were well rewarded with glorious views of the highest Himalayan ranges, dramatic landscapes, tranquil alpine lakes, exclusive flora and fauna, serene monasteries, stunning countryside, delicious food, and friendly and welcoming local people. All in all, this was a truly brilliant trek. We have no hesitation in trekking again with Alpine Eco Trek and would highly recommend them for you if you are looking to trek in Everest Nepal.
