Essential Information

Safe Drinking water on Everest High pass trek

Safe drinking mineral water is available in each and every tea house, lodge, and lunch stop. The mineral water is made in the Everest region which avoids taking from Kathmandu city. While you go to higher elevations safe drinking water may not be available everywhere. At high elevations, the water gets frozen and hard to drink unless you mix it with hot or other normal water.

Drinking frozen water will make you sick too. It was always better to have hot water in your bottle which makes you warm as well as saves the environment from plastic bottles. Water Purification tablets, as well as pills, are ways to have safe drinking water.

You can fill water from the kitchen with the help of a guide and get safe drinking water after using the medicine on it. This is very effective on high passes because you don’t have to carry many water bottles.

Remember these things while doing Everest high pass trek.

They need to be very fit enough to do this trekking.

There are stone steps up and down which are very uneven and due to some long descents, your leg may feel tired. We recommend using walking poles to feel safer. The maximum altitude of the trek is 5550 meters which is Kalapather top. Trekkers need to be more careful about health and altitude-related risk.

To avoid such risks and Problems trekkers need to walk slowly and drink lots of fluid. In case there is some health problems share them with friends or guide so that they can solve the situations. We need to be very careful on crossing the three passes and crossing glaciers and lakes.


Charging Facilities on Everest high pass trek

Charing Electronic items on Everest high pass trek is difficult because of high elevations due to wind and cold. Powers banks and batteries do not last long in these elevations. Hydroelectricity or solar sources are used to charge electronic items on Everest's three-pass trek.

On lower trail electricity is available in all towns but when you reach a certain point electricity is not possible so there we will charge on solar energy. Due to solar power, you may not have lights in your room so it’s worth taking a headlamp.

The camera, iPhone, batteries, iPod, phone, etc are possible to charge on tea houses and cost money according to a full charge system or per hour basis. It is better to have our own charging power bank rather than using Hotel Charging Facilities.

FAQ

Answer: The trek is always climbing up too so trekking pole is so helpful to walk and provides support on the slippery area. For high pass trek, we recommend carrying the proper poles that can provide support to your body.

Answer: Yes alcohol is possible to buy Everest 3 high pass trekking. On lower elevations, there will be bars and pubs where you can enjoy music as well as drinks. On higher parts also lodges sell drinks but we recommend not to drink alcohol unless you cross all pass. You can drink in Namche and Lukla village on the way back. Alcohol drinking may get you altitude sickness. Beware of drinking in high elevations.

Answer: The three high pass trekking is a long journey. You need to be well prepared mentally as well as physically for this adventure. If you got sick on the trek then we will rest some days and continue if you are OK to continue. We may not have enough time for all 3 passes but we will give a try. Our guide or trek leader will check the conditions and decide whether to trek continue or turn back. In some case the sickness is very dangerous on that case you have to evacuate back to lower elevations.

Answer: The number of guides depends on the number of group size. For more than 6 trekkers we will provide a guide and assistant guide. If the group is 10 to 15 then there will be 1 guide with 3 assistant guides. The number of porter for the trek is half of the trekkers. We provide 1 porter for two trekkers.

Answer: No the oxygen cylinder is only available in tea houses. Not all tea houses have oxygen facilities. Our team only helps to provide an oxygen cylinder if you or any travelers needed.

Answer: Most of the people do not want to trek high pass during the snow periods but some people want to go. In such a case, we need to carry ice Axe, rope as well as a satellite phone. We also need to take a local guide and porters who know the area very well. In hard times, locals can make you safe.

Answer: The best time to travel the 3 high pass trek in Everest is on the months of March, April, May, September, October, and November. Many people can be found trekking on other months too.

Answer: From Chukkung to Laubecha through Kongmo la is a long day we do not have lunch place on the trail so we will need to carry pack lunch form the hotel to eat during lunchtime. The lunch is only required for Kongma la. The other two passes have a lunch stop on the trail after a pass.

Answer: During the three pass trek you will have so many best viewpoints on the trails. The best viewpoint is the Renjo la top view according to me. Some people may like Kalapather view more than than the view of Renjo top. It all depends on peoples.

Magic Himalaya for that personal touch.

Fantastic trek. Every detail was organized perfectly by our guide Nabin during our trip to Nepal. Magic Himalaya Treks were highly recommended to us by our friends Robbie and Sarah here in New Zealand. In April 2018 we visited Nepal to do the 3 High Passes Trek to Everest Base Camp in the Khumbu Valley.
