This hiking guide includes a detailed day-to-day itinerary, essential gear recommendations, seasonal weather insights, cost breakdowns, and my personal highlights of the hike. Learn how to hike one of Nepal's most iconic treks: the Three Passes Trek.

FAQ
Q: Is a guide required?
A: When I went on my trek in May 2023, I was able to hike officially through police checkpoints without a guide without any problems. Since then in 2024, I have had friends do the same. When I talked with officials along the way, they seemed to not want to enforce the rule. However, things change and you should be prepared. Happy trekking!

Love ❤from india
Amazing video! High quality and beautiful shots.
. We are doing the three passes without a guide this upcoming Sunday, and your guide has really helped us out with the planning. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your journey 🙂
I am planning this same route and starting on Saturday, are you starting from Lukla ?
well, explained about this footage about the Himalayas of Mount Everest 8848.86m.
Handing off your contribution to your viewers was truly amazing, and the effort you put into creating this guide video is truly commendable. Thank you so much for your hard work!
Wow, thank you! I’m glad it was helpful and for your kind words. Stay tuned for more 😆🙏
This was amazing work my friend, amazing! Shots and atmosphere are breathtaking!
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Nicely narrated video. I love Nepal and it's people. From Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for your kind feedback. Nepal is indeed a beautiful destination for hiking. Happy trails from the USA!
Amazing very good video ❤
Thank you for watching 💛🙏
Thank you for the valuable information🙏. I’m planning on next month
Thank you for watching 💛🙏 Best of luck on your adventure!
So the Pyramid is open currently for guests? The info I see online suggests it's been shutdown for many years. Looks like a great place to stay; I'm doing Three Passes in Oct.
Great vid!
When I went in May 2023 it was open. Yes it was a great place to stay. Happy hiking!
@@EagerHikerGuides Thanks for the response - cheers!
very well narrated and portrayed very nicely, im planning to do this trek, where to apply permit for this and can i go solo for this witgout hire a guide?pls guide , Thanks :)
Wow! Superb video. Beautiful and informative. To the point, no bla bla :-). When did you go, I see you're wearing trail runners. I am hoping to not use boots beginning of April. Thanks
Glad you liked it! I went in May and trail runners were no problem. Boots are fine too just make sure they’re not too heavy. There’s a link to a full hiking guide in the description of the video. Cheers!
Very well explained Nicholas, covered all the minute details. Is the internet available throughout the trek, I mean does Nepalese sim have signals and have 4g internet connectivity.
Thank you so much 💛🙏 Internet is pretty unreliable for most of this trek after Namche Bazaar. Most tea houses offer Everest Link cards. But I would get a local NTC sim card as a back up too.
Thank you
Hello Nicholas, how to book flight to Lukla. Do we need to goto Ramechap n book or can it be done online for April2024, I donot see anything on Skyscanner etc..
I’m not sure if it can be done online. As with the Jeep, you can book through your hotel in Kathmandu once you arrive.
Brilliant presentation and narration. Ty for sharing.
A question: how would you select tea houses? Recommendation for must stay places (I plan solo without Porter / guide in Nov 24. ).
Another question. I saw panoramic shots with you in them . Tips on how to click them ???
Thank you for watching and your comments 💛🙏 I selected tea houses when I arrived to a village. I talked with the owners once I got there. It's totally up to you :)
Use a tripod! I have more of this style footage on my main channel @NicholasEager 🎥
@@EagerHikerGuides thank you. I shall look it up today.
Thanks a lot for the video. It really is valuable as I'm planning to do the trek this 4-23 May unguided.
Question: You stated that you did the Three Passes Trek in May 2023. May I know what the weather looked like, especially at the end of May last year?
Did you have difficulty traversing the passes or were there any snow storm?
Really, thank you again
Hi! Thanks for watching and your kind words 🙏 The weather was mostly clear and favorable (with a few afternoon storms) when I went but each year it’s different and it’s best to be aware of current conditions when you are going. Have a great adventure!
Do I bring a tent (1lb)? Have several down bags trying to decide if I bring 2lb 7oz 0 F bag or Two bags layered 3lbs? Water Treatment bring sawyer squeeze light hollow fiber bacteria 5oz or guardian msr 1lb 2 oz? Trail Runners or half height light boots with gtx liner? Time of trip Sept 1st to oct 1st. Great video. Appreciate any ideas and advice
Thanks for your questions! Here are my recommendations:
Tent: Bring a lightweight tent or bivy sack for protection from the elements. Teahouses are available, but having your own shelter provides flexibility. This is entirely up to you. I did not bring one.
Sleeping bag: A 0°F bag should suffice in September. Layering two bags adds unnecessary weight. Consider a liner for extra warmth. However, I also did not bring a bag.
Water treatment: The Sawyer Squeeze is lightweight and effective. The MSR Guardian is overkill unless you have specific water concerns.
Footwear: Trail runners with good traction are ideal for the varied terrain. Waterproof hiking shoes also work well. Avoid heavy boots.
September is a great time with clear skies, but expect chilly nights at higher elevations. Acclimatize properly, pack layers, and enjoy the stunning scenery!
Let me know if you have any other questions. Wishing you an incredible trek!
@@EagerHikerGuides thank you very much for all your help
Hi Nicholas, wonderful work -- thank you for this. Question: navigating the moving glaciers and ice paths might be the most important reason to trek with a guide. I am an experience hiker, so I might be able to do it alone, though. What's your experience? How did you do it?
When I went it was relatively easy to follow the path from Gokyo to Dragnag because many other hikers had recently completed it, leaving a trail. The path from Lobuche up Kongma pass had trail markers. However, it’s a glacier and the path will be different when you go. I would ask around other people at the tea houses to see if they have any information when you are there. Be safe and happy hiking!
@@EagerHikerGuides thanks for the info, Nicholas, I appreciate it! It must be busy in April when I am there, so that should work.
@@thewencounter : When are you starting? :-)
@@annas.5794 hi, I decided to trek the Manaslu Circuit instead. Starting in a few days already! th-cam.com/video/Mp4H86Xw6SE/w-d-xo.html
🙏 P r o m o s m
Thanks for watching 💛🙏
How’d you do the Google earth animations? I’m doing this Trek at the end of the year and I’m going to try document it with film like this mainly a stills photographer. I looked at your gear list and deciding what tripod to get which one was used more? I don’t feel like carrying around two tripods
Thanks for watching! I used Google Earth Studio for the animations. I use the Peak Design tripod almost exclusively. Happy hiking!
No worries it was a good video and very informative. Is there any tutorials on ur channel on how to use google earth?
