Additionally, engaging in regular exercise such as jogging, running, swimming, cycling, and uphill climbing for a few weeks before the trip is highly recommended to build the required stamina.

    Everest 3 high pass trek lifetime experience

    The trek was imagining how I could explain, we got one of the best services from Nepal Spirit Adventure according to our booking, Bikram was the best guide, and without him, we couldn’t have achieved this massive adventure. The 3-high pass trek wasn’t easy, but it was challenging, and we Italians loved those kinds of trips, The Kongma La pass (5,535) was quite difficult compared to Cho La Pass-5,368 m and Renjo La-5,465 m. We had the best mountain views, and the local people were great, the food was delicious, and all the tea houses were nice, we didn’t have any problems with the weather during our trek but had stock before starting and at the end of the trek between Ramechhap to Lukla to Ramechhap. Ram-the owner of company-Nepal-spirit-adventure provided alternative ways to heli flight to Lukla from Ramechhap, Lukla to Kathmandu by overland service took 22 hours off-road drive it was much tried after the 3 passes but we didn’t have others options while many tourists were stuck at Lukla even, the helicopter also cannot land, thanks ‘ram’ you’re great person, had brilliant experienced about Everest base camp trek & three passes, without your support, we can’t able to arrive in Kathmandu and flight back to Italy on 4 November early in the morning. Our original plan was to arrive in Kathmandu on 01 November. During our journey back to Kathmandu it was a full festival day but you managed the transportation for us to Kathmandu we can't believe how you worked well, we enjoyed this adventure a lot thanks for everything, and we highly recommend this company to others.

    This is my 4 time in Nepal using a different trek company for the Annapurna circuit, Langtang, and Everest base camp and was thinking to do the Everest 3 high passes trek since last year and was trying to find a new experience trek company finally I had met Mr. Ram and his company Nepal Spirit Adventure via online market he provided me wonderful email correspond answer what I ask for my this trip. Thanks, Ram he picked me up upon my arrival and the last departure from Kathmandu and arranged very good accommodation in Kathmandu Tibet Guest House lovely hot shower!

    I had also a great time with his trek crew on the trek even though 3 high passes were difficult to trek on the snow path, the view was fantastic! I would say for good service and reasonable price travel can use this company even though this company has not had many reviews on trip advisor does not matter, trip advisor reviews are only for a day trip not for such ownerless adventure activities in Nepal. I would like to come back again for sure another climbing trip will take your clean services. Thanks, Ram a lot!!

    Great adventurous trip

    We had really best trek with a guide and porter both were terrific and must be the top ten trekking guides in Nepal, the trekking company Nepal Spirit Adventure must be the #1 trek operator in Nepal and they were #1 for 3 high passes trail in Everest region, obviously, 3 pass trail was not easy but Nepal Spirit made us successful, we did not get any trouble all we had the best time, every day had spectacular vista, quality trek equipment were provided by the company, great lodges but not where every base camp of passes, we were so lucky booked our Nepal trip with local professional company Nepal Spirit!!

    Adventurous trip

    It was an excellent three-highest-pass trek, we never ever did this type of high-altitude trek in our life, can’t recommend Nepal spirit adventure enough if I could give 10 stars I would. Excellent service provider from our arrival in Kathmandu to until departure, Mr. Ram was brilliant as he was also a trekking guide for more than 10 years his service was incredible, guide tul was incredible, and had so much knowledge of the mountains, porter Nima & Dhan were so hardworking, kind and thoughtful and always had a big smile, they even came back to help us carry our packs on the more difficult days, naturally, this trip was not easy but we found great adventurous! We had such spectacular mountain views from 3 passes but a 5-star view was provided from Renjola. It was the best trekking experience and I cannot thank Nepal Spirit Adventure enough, I will 100% be booking another with them again thanks to Ram and Tul, Dhan, and Nima who were the top service providers for the trek in Nepal.

    We had incredible trek experience

    It was very top trekking comparative other trekking trails but an incredible trek experience was naturally amazing, mountain vista was spectacular and had one of the best Mt. Everest views from Renjo La Pass. We had the best trek guide tul supper experience and porter dhana rai was a much-strung boy both made our trek an incredible trek experience.

    The company director Mr. ram was the best person forever his customer service was great because of his decades of experience from the 3 Everest high passes we did not get any problems about high altitude sickness and no doubt that we were not able to do this top trekking three high passes route with his expert team, we miss you guys and huge thanks entire team of Nepal Spirit Adventure especially “ram” he highly takes care from begging to until departure of our Nepal holiday.2022/05/10

    3 High Passes Everest Trekking

    Thank you ‘Ram’ Nepal Spirit Adventure excellent service, it was amazing and pretty challenging trekking to Everest 3 high passes trek. Naturally, it’s permitted 3 high passes high altitude walking trail Kongma La, Cho La and, Renjo La passes, we have seen beautiful mountain scenery from each pass and we had a fantastic view from Renjo La and Cho La. It was a top trip but worth doing once in a lifetime. If you book this trek with right-professional trek company you never ever get any problems during the trek so we were so lucky we booked this adventurous trek with “NSA” have best guide and strong Sherpa porter that was the main key we got a successful trip, accommodation, meals all good, flight to Lukla was so scary. 17/11/2018

    Incredible 3 High Pass Trek Planner

    We had a wonderful Everest 3 high passes trek with an experienced guide and happy staff through Nepal Spirit Adventure. From the beginning of my inquiry with several different Nepal trek travel companies, Ram at Nepal Spirit Adventure provides the quickest and most informative reasons. There were immediate trust and confidence that I felt with Ram which was important to us as I embarked on the most unique and daring trip of my life and groups. We didn’t know what to expect so I wanted to make sure that I would be in good hands and have plenty of support throughout our Journey.

    We wanted to book this trip with an expert Nepal local trek company and Nepal Spirit Adventure was it! There are several companies out there, but they are not necessarily rooted in Nepal and managed by Nepali people, and I know now that we were really supporting the people of Nepal by choosing Nepal Spirit Adventure. We got 5-star service at a reasonable price from the beginning of Kathmandu airport pick up to the end of our top 3 high passes trekking of Everest. By the end of the journey, my group and I felt like a part of the extended family of our tour manager, “Ram” the company owner, and our tour guide Tul- and we are so grateful to have developed such a beautiful friendship with them. Our porters, Tuk, Dhanraj, Bisal, Ashok, and Kaji were also incredibly wonderful, friendly, and helpful throughout the journey. We were able to exchange some nice conversations during our time together and we are very grateful for their support, friendship, and guidance along the most memorable adventure of our lives.

    As Ram was trek guide in Nepal and he had done Everest 3 high passes trek so many times that is a reason himself build customize trek itineraries helped us for victory in a very happy environment. We did not have any problems with trek food, accommodation his crew’s reserved always best lodge along the tour and we found the culture of the Nepal Spirit Adventure teams’ expert for Everest 3 high passes trek planner and Nepal base local Nepali-owned trek company, lends itself to a unique, personal experience, which is why I chose this company and why we 100% recommend it. If this post inspired you in some way to take a leap toward pursuing this journey of a lifetime in beautiful Nepal, then take that leap and send an inquiry to Mr. Ram nepal spiritadventure to explore your options and build a trip that inspires you. They are here to support you toward in building an unforgettable and incredible experience in the magical and majestic Himalayas! We hope you choose Nepal Spirit Adventure for your next holiday.

    Top Everest 3 High Passes Trek Operator

    We were so happy that we booked our great adventure trekking to Everest 3 high passes with Nepal Spirit Adventure Nepal base expert trekking company. We were much impressed with the owner Mr. Ram Thapa Magar from our first inquiry because he replied swiftly included his 3 passes trek itinerary as personally, he did much time when he was a trekking guide. We found this adventure trek company is allied with an experienced trek guide.

    The group arrived in Kathmandu late as flight schedule due to international flight connection, NSA airport crew were there even our flight was a delay, inclusive hotel in Kathmandu was perfect we did not expect that much deluxe accommodation in Kathmandu but Ram he booked a very comfortable room for all of us. In universal, we found these company teams were very experienced for 3 high passes trek organizer our trek guide and porter were friendly, trek guide Milan spoke well English and full insurance for everything. Due to the specialized Nepal Spirit Adventure team, we did 3 passes of the high-altitude trek without any difficulties but it was not an easy trekking trip in the Himalayas thanks to the whole team, and really enjoyed this trek, the trekking package was very reasonable. If you guys are planning to do Nepal Everest 3 high passes trek? Without any hesitation, you can trust this adventure company for 3 high passes trek organize.

    Everest 3 High Passes Trekking

    we had a wonderful high altitude trek to Everest 3 high passes through the experienced staff of Nepal Spirit Adventure, the company is one of the best trekking, a travel company in Nepal. We highly recommend booking with this fantastic company for all of your adventures around this remarkably beautiful, magical, and peaceful area of the world. They will prepare you well for your trip, take great care of you and you will learn so much along the way! Also for the trip price and what is included you cannot beat it. 1. Transportation to/from airports. 2. Three meals/day, Lodging, 4. The tour guide, 5. Porters, 6. Insurance for trek guide and porter, 7. Down jacket and quality clean sleeping bags all-inclusive on trek package.

    The owner of Nepal Spirit Adventure, Ram, created this trekking tour company several years ago after building his career as a porter a guide, and then a trek manager over a dozen years earlier. As a solo guide for several years. Ram has personally taken more than a thousand people from across the world on a journey across Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan with the main route being Everest Base Camp with 3 high passes trail. He was incredibly friendly, informative, and delightful and he kept in touch with our trek guide. Milan each day along our 17- day trek to check in on how we were doing and if we needed any support with anything and speak well English. So, we were a hundred percent satisfy the deluxe service from the entire team of NSA, naturally, 3 high passes trek was a very challenging high altitude walking journey and require to pass 3 high passes- Kongmo La 5535, Cho La Pass 5368, and Renjo La Pass. We had fantastic mountain views from 3 top passes but it was not an easy trek if you prefer to do the real adventure natural trek we highly recommend this 3 pass Everest trail give you maximum trekking in the Himalaya experience.

    We did not have any problems with high altitude mountain sickness because of Nepal Spirit Adventure trek itinerary is flexible and we had 3-4 rest days before crossing each pass and it made us a very successful trip. We thank all teams of Nepal Spirit Adventure and will back to Nepal again for island peak climbing.
