One of the most daring options for amazing, exhilarating vistas in the lap of high mountains via steep, muddy slopes is the Everest Three-High Passes Trek. In particular, three passes trekking is well-liked by individuals seeking a strenuous, enchanted, and demanding excursion into the world's highest mountain range. The incredible journey passes through several valleys in the region of Mt. Everest. There are a plethora of experiences to be had inside the three passes of Everest hiking, despite the misconception that trekking in this area is limited to viewing the towering mountains and massive glaciers. CHHUKUNG VALLEY (Eastern Nomadic Alley), KHUMBU VALLEY (Prime Himalayan Alley), GOKYO VALLEY (Holistic Alley), and THAME VALLEY (Bhote or Northern Nomadic Alley) are just four of the important and essential valleys. Each of these four valleys has a unique importance and history. Sherpa, an ethnic caste from the Himalayas, are currently well-known and revered in these areas. The Khumbu civilization's prehistoric past is intriguing and enigmatic. To create the current state of affairs in the Khumbu area, thousands of years and generations have passed. The "KIRANT ETHIOLOGY LEGENDS" state that Khumbu's current civilization emerged across various historical eras. The first were the periods of nomadism, pilgrimage, trans-Himalayan trade, and Khumbu area habitation. Thus, it is certain that the Sherpa's forefathers were Tibetan and that they encountered NANGPA - LA PASS.
They initially arrived to nomadic pastures with their cattle and then continued on pilgrimages for a BODGAYA travel from BHOT (TIBET) to NEPALAYA & BHARAT (INDIA). They established the Trans-Himalayan Trade of Salt during their travels, which most likely persisted for many years until they made the decision to remain near to the BHOT civilization but before the NANGPA - LA PASS. That could make it simpler for them to transport to Tibet in the summer and trade Himalayan Salt with wheat and cold in the lowlands during the winter. The same cultures, customs, and faiths that existed in Tibet have evolved there. Thus, there is a great deal of cultural and religious similarity between the Tibetans of the Khumbu region and the current population. Even if the language has slightly changed, it is still TIBETO. Up until a few years ago, Khumbu people were I called Bhote, Lama, and so on.However, following the successful ascent of Everest by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hilary, these cast names were changed to Sherpa.
The tremendous Mahalangur Range Mountains may be seen in breathtaking views from the three High Passes Treks. Mt. Everest 8848m, Mt. Lhotse 8516m, Mt. Makalu 8485m, Mt. Cho Oyu 8201m, Mt. Nuptse 7861m, Mt. Amadablam 6856m, Mt. Tawache 6441m, Mt. Chola-Tse 6440m, Mt. Lobuche 6119m, Mt. Pumori 7161m, Mt. Bharunche 7162m, Mt. Gyzungkhang 7952m, Mt. Ngozumba 7885m, Mt.Kwangde and uncountable other related snow caped including famous trekking climbing peaks. Traversing the world's largest glaciers might offer a surreal and enigmatic taste of adventure. Thus, a number of adventure enthusiasts heartily endorse this journey for a lifetime of fulfilling, exhilarating adventures in the fabled Himalayas.

USEFUL INFO
Notice for domestic flights to and from Lukla:
The Tribhuwan International Airport and the domestic Airport are partially the same in Kathmandu. So it used to be a heavy air trafficking during international flights. That is affecting tremendously for the smooth flight operation to Lukla which is mostly departing early in the morning. Most of the tourists come to Nepal for Everest region trekking and the main gateway to enter into this legendary region is by flight to Lukla. The airport in Lukla is only suitable for small aircraft so there would be uncountable flights in a day. Thus, aviation had decided to operate regular flights not from Kathmandu but from the nearest airport of Kathmandu during the main tourist season. At the moment, the nearest airport is in Manthali Ramechhap, which is
The flights are effective from the beginning of October to the End of November in autumn and March to mid-May in spring. Most tourists get to drive in the middle of the night from Kathmandu to Manthali for the next day’s morning flight. But we recommend moving a day earlier from Kathmandu to nearby Manthali. That will provide the perfect views of the countryside of Nepal and also would not make the rush and uncomfortable drive.
Altitude sickness:
The symptoms of altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness, include headaches, nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, lack of appetite, and fast heartbeat. The reduced oxygen content and air pressure have an impact on hikers, skiers, and mountain climbers. It happens when an individual is unable to adjust to a greater altitude. After the fluid starts to leak from the blood arteries, it typically occurs in the brains or the longs.
When the fluid accumulates in the brain, it causes headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, exhaustion, a desire to lie down and a sense of helplessness, an unwillingness to move, a decrease in consciousness, and a problem with balance coordination. This condition is known as high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE). When the fluid accumulates in the lungs, it causes dry coughing that is frequent, sometimes producing blood, skin discoloration, tightness in the chest, and breathlessness (HAPE).
Prevention:
We must practice basic gravity behaviors in the mountains, such as patience, constancy, and discipline, to avoid acute mountain sickness. The rules and laws of the mountains are unique. The only way we can make them become like us is to obey and honor them. Wear clothing appropriately for the altitude, avoid rapidly increasing your altitude, drink enough of water or other fluids, give your body enough time to acclimate to a higher altitude, abstain from alcohol, control your smoking, eat regularly, ascend higher, and descend lower to sleep. Stay away from high altitudes if you have lung or heart problems. Should the symptoms manifest, cease climbing mountains and move down to a lower elevation. If the patient is really ill or cannot be transported to a lower altitude via Stay away from high altitudes if you have lung or heart problems. Should the symptoms manifest, cease climbing mountains and move down to a lower elevation. A swift helicopter evacuation should be used to save the individual if they are really ill or unable to descend by walking or carrying.

It is important for visitors to be mindful of this when visiting Nepal. Because of microorganisms, they are not entirely suited to digest regular spring water.
