Find out what you would expect to see and do during the trek:

Thrilling flight to Lukla

Lukla, the starting point for this trek, is reached after a brief 35-minute flight. Flying to Lukla is incredible, and staying on that short flight requires a lot of courage. The flight will be awe-inspiring and thrilling. The flight to Lukla is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the trek. What makes this flight so exciting?

It is, in fact, Lukla Airport's landing strip. It features one of the world's shortest runways of 525 meters (1,729 feet) and one of the world's highest airports at 9,334 feet (2,845 m). You've arrived at the ultimate destination when you consider the steepness of the runway, which dangles from the edge of a mountain.

Trek through Sagarmatha National Park

From Monjo onwards, the trail passes through Sagarmatha National Park, which is home to numerous flora and fauna. This park is also listed in the UNESCO World Natural Sites. The park has different climatic zones and diverse vegetation. Crossing several streams and forested paths, the trail moves up to Namche Bazar.

The route includes several ascents and descents, as well as crossing several streams and dense woodlands. Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Pumori, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kwangde, Kangtaiga, and Gyachyung Kang can all be viewed during the trek to the Everest region.

For many years, Sagarmatha National Park has served as a haven for endangered animals and birds. Sagarmatha National Park is home to two endangered species: the Red Panda and the Snow Leopard. Sagarmatha National Park's birdlife has long been a draw for visitors.

Spend the night at the gateway to Everest, Namche Bazar

Namche Bazar is a very famous Sherpa village, where you get to look into the daily lifestyle and practices of these people. Namche Bazar is the most developed village in the region. Most modern facilities like Wifi, cafes, libraries, etc are available here. Also, do visit the Sherpa Culture Museum and Everest Photo Gallery.

The Everest region's gateway is the scenic Namche. It also serves as a memorial to previous climbing expeditions, as well as providing information on Sherpa culture and way of life. Namche is well-known for its yak cheese and butter. Namche, nestled on the side of an arch-shaped mountain with panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks from all locations in the valley, was formerly an important trading centre in the Khumbu region. Namche is a highlight of the Everest high passes adventure! To adapt, hikers frequently stay here for several days. Your trip to Namche will be memorable!!

Visit the oldest and the biggest monastery in the Khumbu region, the Tengboche monastery

Tengboche is one of the most significant monasteries in the Khumbu region. This is the oldest and biggest monastery, which used to be home to hundreds of monks. From the monastery, you can see stunning views of the Himalayan Mountains.

Throughout the Everest trekking route, the Tengboche Monastery is the main attraction for trekkers, mountaineers, and everyone else. This old monastery, which is also a very important religious holy site in Khumbu, offers breathtaking views of Mt. Amadablam and the surrounding Himalayas. All pilgrims and visitors who enter this hallowed site will be blessed by Guru Rinpoche.

Lama Gulu erected the Tengboche monastery in 1961, but it was devastated by the 1934 earthquake. The monastery was later restored in the same year. However, the monastery was destroyed by fire in 1989 and had to be rebuilt. Regardless of these tragedies, the Tengboche monastery is the Khumbu region's oldest and largest.

The most difficult pass in the Everest Chola Pass

Before reaching Gokyo villages, you have to cross Cho La Pass. The trail to the top of the pass is difficult, however, the view you get to see at the end is unbelievable. The pass adds the perfect zest of thrill and challenge to the entire journey.

The trek that follows the Cho La Pass is one of Nepal's most difficult excursions. In one of the most scenically magnificent sections of the Everest region, these massifs combine to create the most spectacular display of beautiful passes.

Explore the Everest Base Camp

The lap of the world's highest mountain, Everest Base Camp is a dream destination for thousands of travellers. Reaching this place is a big achievement that one can get. From the base camp, you can witness panoramic views of numerous Himalayan mountains like Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Pumori, Mt. Baruntse, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Thamserku, etc.

Everest Base Camp is located at the foot of the Khumbu Glacier, surrounded by some of the world's most famous peaks. The Everest Base Camp is a must-see for trekkers from all over the world! Thousands of trekkers visit Everest Base Camp and other Nepalese circuits each year but never attempt to summit the peaks. The base camp for Mt. Everest is situated at the foot of the world's highest mountain (8,848 m). In and of itself, reaching Everest Base Camp is a great achievement. Everest Base Camp offers stunning views of the Himalayan Mountains and glaciers.

Hike to one of the famous vantage points of the region, Kala Patthar

Kala Patthar is a very popular vantage point in the Everest region. Situated a little above Everest Base Camp, the trail to Kala Patthar is steep and rocky. Upon reaching the top of the viewpoint, you can see excellent sunrise along with 360-degree views of Mt. Everest and surrounding mountains.

From Kala Patthar's viewpoint, the massive peaks of Nuptse, Changtse, and Lhotse can also be seen. Many people climb Kala Patthar first thing in the morning to catch the sunrise, but because the light rises behind Everest and Lhotse, you won't be able to obtain a good shot. Climbing is best done as the sun sets in the late afternoon. If the weather cooperates, you'll be able to see Everest and Lhotse bathed in golden light. For the views, a trip to Kala Patthar is a must during the trek for the Cho La Pass! BECAUSE OF THE VIEWS!

Spend a couple of nights in the charming Gokyo Valley

Gokyo village is one of the most beautiful villages in the Khumbu region, and it is where you will spend the night. Gokyo village, located in the picturesque Gokyo Valley, has a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Even though you will see other hikers during the high season, the mood here is divine.

The trek is a thrilling adventure to a secluded village in the gorgeous Gokyo Valley, where only a few trekkers venture. The views from here are breathtaking. High Himalayan Mountains, enormous glaciers, icefalls, icy streams, and dazzling lakes all contribute to the surreal splendour.

Witness stunning Gokyo Lake

Located at 5,000 meters Gokyo Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes you will ever see. The turquoise blue colour of the lake surrounded by snow-covered mountains under the bright blue sky is mesmerizing to see.

Trekking to these serene and pristine lakes is an excellent opportunity to explore a wide range of unique and stunning things. The Gokyo Lakes are known for their spiritual significance as well as difficult treks and tourism. Hindus and Buddhists also revere these lakes as sacred sanctuaries. During the Janai Purnima festival in August, this place is filled with pilgrims for the holy bathing in the lakes. This area is revered as the birthplace of Naag Devata (Snake God). A Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Vishnu is the site's major attraction.

Things that you should consider before going on trekking in the Cho La Pass of the Everest Region

Everest Cho La Pass Trek itinerary

The trek begins with a stimulating flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla. From here, following the classic Sagarmatha National Park route, you reach Namche Bazar. From here, you pass by several beautiful villages and reach Everest Base Camp. The trail then further ascends to Kala Patthar Viewpoint and heads towards the pass region. Traversing in the stunning Gokyo Valley, you then descend to Lukla.

Everest Cho La Pass Trek Cost

For a group of 12 people, the cost of the 19-days trek starts at US$ 1600. This is the cost of a standard Outfitter Nepal package. We can also adjust the package budget to meet your demands if you have a group of more than 12 people. Similarly, depending on your budget, the Cho La Pass region trek cost could range from US$ 1750 to US$ 1950 for a solo trekker or a small group of people. Please bear in mind that if you modify the hotel or meal services included in the overall standard pricing package, the trek cost will change as well.

We can upgrade your lodging options for you to a deluxe hotel room and tourist class accommodation with attached toilets even when trekking in the Everest region. Luxurious accommodation in the Everest Region can cost up to US$150 per night in places with diverse lodging options. On the other side, some accommodation services, such as twin sharing, might be fairly basic. Regardless, we will make every effort to make your trip to Cho La Pass as enjoyable as possible!

Thus, the cost of a trekking package in the Everest region varies depending on whether you want to customize your accommodations or change the itinerary! Read the pricing including and excluding parts to learn more about the services given with the standard Trek for crossing the Cho La Pass.

How difficult is it to do the Chola Pass Trek?

Chola Pass Trek is a difficult trek as you have to cross challenging Cho La Pass. The trail includes several ascends and descends through a rugged and steep path. The high altitude also makes the journey a little tiring. Good physical fitness and health are required to go on this trek. If you are new to trekking then we suggest you do a few hikes or exercise before joining the pass trek.

Best time to include Cho La Pass in the Everest region Trek?

The best months for trekking near Everest Region are three months in the spring (March, April, May) and three months in the fall (September, October, November). The clear weather allows trekkers to make the most of their days at the world's most beautiful location, the Gokyo lakes. However, for trekkers who prefer to escape the crowds during the high seasons, December, January, and February are ideal months to go.

What are the food and accommodation services in the Everest Trekking region?

The overnight stay in the teahouse/lodge makes the journey even more ironic. The old-style houses, small rooms, and common washrooms might not feel as comfortable as back in the home, but the experience you will get while spending the night like this is incomparable.

You can find quite a good variation in the menu at a lower elevation. Dishes like momo, noodles, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, pastries, coffee, tea, etc. can be found in Namche Bazar. As the elevation will increase the menu also gets limited and expensive. The meals will be served on the menu of the teahouse/lodge you will be staying in.

Because we'll be trekking at great altitudes around the world's highest peak, your body will require enough carbohydrates and proteins. On this trek, we provide simple and hygienic cuisine! Local cuisine and delicacies are significantly more hygienic, so we encourage people to eat them. Frozen supplies that take days to get reach the trails are not the best option.

What should you know about AMS?

Altitude sickness, or AMS, is one of the most common dangers while travelling at high altitudes. The most common cause of AMS is when the body fails to adjust to the lower level, which can be fatal. As a result, it is critical to take adequate precautions promptly. Acclimating at a steady rate and taking suitable acclimatization days would assist to lower the risk of acquiring AMS.

Similarly, you must stay hydrated throughout the walk; therefore, drink enough water and avoid alcoholic beverages, which dehydrate the body. If you're planning a journey along with one of Nepal's more adventurous paths, bear the above in mind.

Do you need any permit for trekking in the Everest Region?

To trek in the Everest region which also includes Cho La Pass, you will need to secure some permits. The permissions are from the Khumbu-Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality and include Sagarmatha National Park entry permits, TIMS (Trekkers information management system) permits, and additional entry permits. Here at Outfitter Nepal, we manage all the permits for you at your convenience!

What is the basic stuff I should not forget during the Trek?

  • Trekking Boots
  • Sandals/Crocs
  • Few pairs of undergarments
  • High quality down jacket and pant
  • Thermal wears
  • T-shirts and trousers
  • Trekking pole
  • A pair of gloves
  • Woollen hat
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Water purification tablets
  • Energy bars

Is there electricity service during Everest Region Trekking?

Electricity is accessible in Kathmandu and most of the trekking region’s settlements, allowing you to charge your camera/mobile batteries. However, in case of unavailability, we recommend having spare batteries on hand.

What kind of trekking arrangements do we provide?

We operate solo, private as well as group departures to the Everest region. Trekking base camp on your own can be a very delightful experience that offers complete privacy, freedom, and even cost-effectiveness. We are okay with however you would want to trek!

We have set departure dates for your trek to the Cho La Pass region - 19 days in 2022 and 2023. You can join one of our groups or create a private trek if you have a group.

Similarly, for those who want to trek at their speed, we also offer a solo journey that incorporates Cho La Pass. The price we offer for the trek is only valid for our set departure dates. If you alter the trek itinerary, the price will change. Anything that works for you.

Client Reviews

Everest Base camp and Cho la pass trek

I didn't have much time to research about Nepal and the journey I wanted to do and was recommended to check out Outfitter Nepal by a friend who previously went with them on a Trek. This was the best thing to do as everything and I literally mean everything was handled and arranged by them. (from airport pick up to drop off) I went on the Everest Base Camp & Chola pass and spent 4 days in Kathmandu.

The full team was very friendly, helpful and flexible. I initially planned for the Everest Panorama View trek but upon arrival to Kathmandu decided to change it to Everest Base camp Trek and they were more than happy to accommodate for that.

The full journey went smoothly. The lodges and guesthouses we stayed at had what we needed.

The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, he even took lead of taking photos of me during the journey. All in all, it was a great experience and I didn't have to worry of anything as the guys did an amazing job in having everything sorted out.

Thanks for this experience and would easily recommend this team for anyone.

Review by: Fady W, Malaysia

Chola pass and Everest base camp trek

Last year October, we chose to go Nepal for adventure EBC Chola pass trekking holiday and selected Outfitter Nepal. Thanks to Santosh, Arjun, Raj and NG who made our dream come true. A complete package for Kathmandu Valley Sight-seeing, accommodation, transportation & well manage adventure trekking all the way to Gokyo to see Mt. Everest with our naked eyes, it's awesome feeling.

Six people in our team but only give of us could made it up to there due to AMS, yet my team mate made it safe back to Kathmandu via Helicopter. Thanks Outfitter Nepal for saving my friend (Brother) and making successful trip for rest of the team.

Not sure, whether some of my team mates coming back or not. But as it said Nepal-once is not enough, I will come up with more adventurous friends and Rock the Himalaya of Nepal.

Cheers Everest Beers and Dalbhat power !!

Thanks Outfitter Nepal Team !

The Best Tour Company - Everest Base Camp with Chola pass Trek

My trip to Nepal was set for April 17-May 2, 2015. From the moment I had emailed Outfitter Nepal to schedule my trek a year ago and till the day I left for my flight they have been right there through it all. Email correspondence was fast and easy. Outfitter Nepal was very informative and helpful.

Before we went on our trek we had a nice city tour and had briefings to discuss what would happen throughout the trek. Namaraj who goes by ANDY took care of everything in Kathmandu. Our trip was led by Raj (main guide) and Sumil (assistant guide). We had a great group and enjoyed ourselves during the trek. Both Raj and Sumil were very accommodating, entertaining, helpful, and fun.

Unfortunately, halfway through my trek I became very sick. It was not from AMS, I had eaten something and was having intense abdominal pain that I had to be helicoptered back to Kathmandu. Raj and Andy both took care of my insurance company and figured things out for me to arrive safely in KTM.

Upon arrival I did not expect anyone from Outfitter Nepal to come visit me at the hospital. Andy showed up to check on me and to see if I needed anything. He told me he would come the next day to pick me up and take care of things. I was very thankful that I had someone there to help as I was not feeling well at all. The only people that were helping me was my boyfriend and sister who were across the world from me and they could not do anything for me in Nepal. I was alone if Andy was not there for me.

Andy took care of everything till the end. He took me to the hotel the next day, made all the arrangements for the airport and even got me some gatorade! Maybe the Gatorade sounds silly but honestly it was a life saver. I came home and was hospitalized and found that I had a parasite. I am finally recovering and much better.

The night I left Kathmandu... 8 hours later is when the earthquake took place. I am not sure if my illness was a blessing or a curse but I was very lucky to have left the time I did. My friend who was still on the trek was a day away from Everest Base Camp when the earthquake had struck. Fortunately, the group was not affected and because of the care of Outfitter Nepal my best friend just made it home on Sunday safely.

Even in this catastrophe Outfitter Nepal stood strong and stood by their customers and for that I truly respect them. They are all so genuine and I could not ask for more. I would recommend them over and over again.

They truly care and are the best of the best!

Great EBC and Goyko Ri trek

This was my first outing in Nepal, and was inspired by my older son's multiple visits there while using the services of Outfitter Nepal. He was present near Everest Base Camp when the tragic earthquake ravaged Nepal in April, 2015. He was unable to complete his trek, so, with son's encouragement, decided to complete the same trek for him.

I am 67 so this decision was not without some hesitation. Throughout the entire experience this outfitter exceeded my expectations and provided me with words and actions to help in my endeavor. Hom Khadka had led my son on previous treks and treated me with special consideration that included positive feedback and coaching. I completed the EBC portion with Hom and others and then proceeded to Cho La Pass and onward to Gokyo Ri.

This challenged me greatly and tested my physical mettle, but was worth every strenuous minute. If the reader of this entry is mulling over a trek to Nepal, I would heartily recommend that you give this outfitter serious consideration to meet you trekking needs.

If another trek there is in my future (Manaslu?) I would engage them to take me there.

The Everest Chola pass Trek

Outfitter Nepal's customer service is outstanding. Before we even decided on a trekking agency, Outfitter Nepal stood out from the rest and Raj and Arjun always responded to our emails within 1 hour and sent us very detailed itinerary. Our guide Amar came and met us at the hotel and took us to Office were we discussed our trip with Raj and Amar and also met our porter Sunil for the first time.

We did a 17 day trip with Amar and Sunil and we could have not asked for a better guide and porter. Amar is one of the most graceful people we have ever met in our lives. He is a true guide with outstanding geographical and cultural knowledge.

Always a smile on his face, a spring in his step, I swear he has wings ;), and a song on his lips! :))) Sunil, our porter is such a kind hearted, strong young man and we had a lot of fun and laughter with him and Amar. We would like to thank both of them for an amazing and special trip.

We highly recommend Outfitter Nepal, everything went smoothly and they were very open when we wanted to change our schedule. The way our trip was organized was very professional and we felt safe and very well looked after.

Thank you Raj, Arjun and all the staff at Outfitter Nepal.

We look forward to do a trip with you again in the not to distant future.
