You are doing some of best adventure passes during trek such as Khangma-La Pass (5535m) Chola-La pass (5368m) and Renjo La pass (5338m). The trekking is strenuous type. You should have physically fitness and experience of doing some trekking.</p><p>The three high pass trek Starts at the Lukla (2828m/9278 feet) and follows the Dudh Koshi valley which climbs up to the Sherpa capital of Namche, a bustling bazaar that’s a junction for trekkers, the local Sherpa and expedition’s route to the mighty Mt. Everest. All along this part of the trail, its friendly Sherpa people, picturesque villages great variety of culture and traditions, colorful festivals and monasteries. The flora and fauna are other ornaments of the Sagarmatha National Park. The three pass trekking is continuously rewarded with dramatic Himalayan scenes, including four of the world's eight highest peaks; Cho Oyu (8,201m), Makalu (8,463m), Lhotse (8,516 m) and Everest (8,850m) and other mountains.This is a kind of circuit trek. We ascend all the way to Chhukung for khangma- La pass (5535m). We also have a chance to visit Kalapather (5550m, close view of Everest) and Everest base camp (5364m, Khumbu icefall). After exploring this imaging place, we cross over Chola-La pass (5368m) to go to Gokyo Valley. An excursion to the fourth and fifth lakes would be an extra attraction in Gokyo Valley from where the views are great. The Ngozumpa Glacier is the largest in the Nepal Himalayas. The Gokyo Ri (5330m/17487 feet) is considered as the best view point in the entire Everest Region. Renjo la pass provides a lifetime memory of panoramic views of the Everest and others Himalayan range. The Renjo-La Pass route is off the usual beaten track. At the pass, a great view of the Gokyo lakes on one side, the Rermo Pokhari lakes on the other side, and a numerous of snowy peaks are in the background, which provide as incredible atmosphere. After nice view from the Renjo-La top, the trail descends following Thame valley. We then trek down by making our way back down to Lukla.</p><p class="subtitle">ITINERARY</p><p><strong>Day 01:</strong> Arrive in Kathmandu international airport,transfer to selected hotel and rest of day personal activitives.</p><p><strong>Day 02:</strong> Kathmandu valley sightseeing by professional tour guide.</p><p></p><ul><li>Swoyambhunath(monkey) temple,</li><li>Kathmandu durbar square,</li><li>Pashupatinath temple,</li><li>Bouddhanath stupa</li></ul><p></p><p><strong>Day 03:</strong> Kathmandu to Lukla and then Phakding (2610m, 3hours walking) and then overnight at lodge.</p><p><strong>Day 04:</strong> Phakding to Namche (3440, 5hours walking) and then overnight at lodge.</p><p><strong><img title="Everest 3 Pass Trek" alt="Everest 3 pass trek" align="right" src="http://www.himalayatrip.com/images/trekking/everest-chola-pass-trekking.jpg" width="300" height="200" />Day 05:</strong> Rest day (Hike to Khumung village,Everest View Hotel which is best of Mt.Everest) 4 hours round trip and then overnight at same place.</p><p><strong>Day 06:</strong>Namche to Tyangboche (3867m, 5hours walking) and then overnight at lodge.</p><p><strong>Day 07:</strong>Tyangboche to Dingboche(4320m,5 hours walking) and then overnight at lodge.</p><p><strong>Day 08:</strong> Rest day in Dingboche</p><p><strong>Day 09:</strong> Dengboche to Chhukung (4700m, 3 hours walking) and then overnight at lodge.</p><p><strong>Day 10:</strong> Chukkung to Khangma la pass 5535m to Lobuche (4930m, 9 hours walking) and then overnight at lodge. <br /> We leave early in the morning because this day is hard and long day so we take pack lunch from chhukung.

He was about 15 years older than his half sister Oney Judge, whom Washington also delivered to Philadelphia. Austin was married to Charlotte, an enslaved seamstress, with whom he had five children. He toiled as a waiter, carriage footman, and probably stable worker who likely lived in slave quarters with two additional transported enslaved black laborers, namely Giles and Paris, and possibly another person. His death came on December 20, 1794 at around 36 years of age in Harford, Maryland.Christopher Sheels- Born circa 1774, he became Washington's sole attendant (i.e., "body servant") and was about 16 years old when brought to Philadelphia. He obviously was literate because, sometime in or about September 1799 at Mount Vernon, Virginia, a note written to him from an enslaved woman at another plantation was intercepted by Washington. The note included an escape plan that subsequently was foiled by Washington.Giles- Born around 1758, he was approximately 32 years old and served as a carriage worker and driver when brought to Philadelphia, where he apparently was housed in slave quarters with Austin, Paris, and possibly another person.<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828503536,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="250" height="311" /></p>Hercules- Born sometime around 1750, he was Washington's thoroughly impressive chief cook who was about 40 years old when he was brought to Philadelphia. He was married to Alice, an enslaved seamstress at Mount Vernon. Together, they had three children, including Richmond. After Alice died in 1787, Hercules alone raised those children and probably had a fourth child later. Despite his renowned culinary talents and his "prominent" status in the president's household, Hercules knew that he was nothing more than a thing, a "species of property" to Washington. That is exactly why, sometime in March 1797 in Philadelphia, he escaped and remained forever "free" at some unknown location until some unknown death date.Joe (Richardson)- Also known as "Postilion Joe," he was born probably in 1769 and married a woman of his same age named Sall, a Mount Vernon enslaved seamstress. Together they had at least seven children. He was an approximately 26 year old presidential coach footman and stable worker when he was brought to Philadelphia on or about on October 20, 1796, which was five years after the other eight enslaved African descendants.Moll- Born circa 1739, she worked as a nanny to Martha's two youngest grandchildren and was about 51 when she was brought to Philadelphia. Moll was returned to Mount Vernon in 1797.Oney Judge- Born around 1774, she was the younger half sister of Austin. She labored as a seamstress and Martha Washington's personal servant. Oney was approximately 16 years old when delivered to Philadelphia. After discovering that she was to be given as a wedding gift, meaning as a mere thing, by Martha to Martha's eldest granddaughter, Oney finally had enough and planned an escape with the active assistance of Philadelphia's large relatively free black population. She executed the plan sometime between late May and June 1796, going from Pennsylvania, then apparently through New York, and ultimately settling in New Hampshire. Although Oney's escape was successful and permanent, it was not restful because Washington, as a result of Martha, was nearly unyielding in trying to track down and capture her. Despite Washington's and Martha's hounding, Oney, the married mother of three children, lived as an otherwise "free," albeit fugitive, woman until her death at about age 75 in Greenland, New Hampshire on February 25, 1848, nearly 50 years after Washington's 1799 and Martha's 1802 respective deaths.Paris- Born sometime around 1774, he was a stable worker at the Mt. Vernon plantation and later, when brought to Philadelphia at about the age of 16, likely was housed in slave quarters along with Austin, Giles, and possibly another person. After being taken back to Mt. Vernon in June of 1791, he died there in late September or October, 1794.Richmond- Born in 1776 or 1778, he was the son of Hercules and Alice. While in Philadelphia where he was brought at the approximate age of 13, he was a kitchen worker and chimney sweep. Four months before his father's successful Philadelphia escape in March 1797, Richmond apparently had an escape plan in Mt. Vernon that was uncovered and foiled.</div>
