Nepal Three Passes Trek Kongma La

Nepal’s Three Passes Trek: Kongma La

Kongma La is the easternmost pass of Nepal's Three Passes Trek and is generally considered to be the most difficult of the three (but don't let the word difficult scare you). The Three Passes is commonly hiked in a counter-clockwise direction (although it can be hiked clockwise as well) which

Three Passes Trek Day 12: Renjo La (Gokyo to Thame)

This morning I am happy to find that the clouds responsible for last night's snow have vacated the area and left blue skies in their wake. Despite my originally wanting to put food into my mouth hole at 6:00 this morning (and then compromising for 6:30), nothing emerges from the kitchen until

Three Passes Trek Day 11: Dragnag to Gokyo

I wake up and head to the common area for breakfast where I find the lodge-keep asleep behind the bar. It's already eight o'clock, late for the Himalaya, and whilst standing and deliberating whether I'm going to rouse the sleeping sherpa, he gets up on his own. A few groggy moments later and he's

Three Passes Trek Day 10: Cho La (Dzongla to Dragnag)

Cho La Pass, today's objective, has been built up in my mind as a dangerous and monstrous obstacle - one that should only be attempted in the best of conditions and under proper supervision. Thankfully, I wake up to another day of clear skies because I will be doing this pass on my own (and with my

Three Passes Trek Day 9: Lobuche to Dzongla

Last night I ordered the vegetable chow mein for breakfast and the chef didn't approve (apparently it's not breakfasty enough a dish to warrant early-morning cooking). Fortunately, he comes around and I have a mediocre vegetable chow mein waiting for me at seven o'clock when I meet my crew in the

Nepal Three Passes Trek

My departure from Nepal last January was a very sad time. I was a kid taken to the most miraculous, jaw-dropping theme park imaginable and told, "You have five minutes to enjoy yourself here before we need to leave and go home." For those five minutes things were awesome, but as soon as they
