Everest Base Camp with Two Pass Trek in Nepal
The Everest base camp with two pass trek in Nepal is not easy, but it is really amazing. It takes you to one of the world’s best trekking areas, where every step is full of power and mountain views. This not only goes to Everest base camp but also goes across two high passes—Cho La and Renjo La. This trek makes you feel strong, proud, and very lucky.
You start from Lukla, that airport on a mountain cliff. Then walk to Phakding and Namche. Namche is like the capital of the Sherpa people. Then the trail goes higher, and you pass Tengboche, where a big monastery awaits. Then go to Dingboche and Lobuche, and reach Everest base camp. That place is full of rock and glaciers but a very happy feeling.
But the best part is not just Everest base camp. After that you cross Cho La pass, full of snow and ice, but wow, the view! Then Gokyo Lake came, blue water like a dream. After that came Renjo La—this pass showed all the mountains like a picture. Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu—all seen from here. Then back to Namche and Lukla.
Highlights of Everest Two Pass Trek:
- Visit Everest Base Camp and the Kala Patthar viewpoint
- Cross two challenging high passes—Cho La and Renjo La
- Gokyo Lake blue water beauty
- See Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu at the same time
- Sherpa village life and culture
- Stay in Namche Bazaar and enjoy the bakery at 3440 m.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is not hard but really sweet. This trek gives you a mountain view, a forest walk, and a village, all in a short time. Good for families or beginners who want to experience the Himalayas for the first time. It is not too high, not too long, but very beautiful.
The trek starts from Nayapul or sometimes Ulleri. Then go to Tikhedhunga and Ghorepani and climb early morning to Poon Hill. From there you see Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, and more. The sun rises from behind the mountain, and the sky becomes orange and gold—really no word for that.
After that, we went to Tadapani and Ghandruk. These villages have Gurung people, kind and smiling. You learn about culture, eat local food, and enjoy the mountain view from the house window. The forest is full of rhododendrons, monkeys, and birds—good for nature also.
Highlights of Poon Hill Trek:
- Sunrise view from Poon Hill, magical light show
- Walk through rhododendron forest, very colorful in spring
- Stay in the Gurung village and know their life
- Not so high altitude, good for all ages
- See Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains
- Short and sweet trek, easy and beautiful
- Good teahouse, warm welcome
- Begin trek from Pokhara, a relaxing place
Khopra Ridge Trek
The Khopra Ridge trek is like a secret place. Not many people go there, so you feel peace and silence. But the view is the same as other popular treks. Some say it is better because you stay on a ridge and see both sides of the mountain. This trek gives you adventure, culture, and a mountain full package.
Trek starts the same way as Poon Hill. But after Ghorepani, you turn to a different path, go to Swanta village, and then climb to Khopra Ridge. This place is very special—you stay on a high ridge and see the big face of Dhaulagiri, as well as Nilgiri, Annapurna South, and more.
The best part is Khayer Lake. It is far and needs a full day, but the lake is so calm and holy for local people. Very few tourists go there, so it feels like a private heaven. Down you go to Dobato, then Tadapani, and finish. Always full of green, mountains, animals, and culture.
Highlights of Khopra Ridge Trek:
- Less crowd, more peace
- Stunning view from Khopra Ridge – Dhaulagiri and Annapurna face
- Visit hidden Khayer Lake, spiritual and wild
- Walk in off-the-beaten-path, true adventure
- Stay in a community lodge and support local people.
- Rhododendron forest and wildlife
- Chance to see Himalayan goat, yak
- Connect with nature, forget city noise
Short Pikey Peak Trek
The Short Pikey Peak trek is full of charm. Many people say the view from Pikey is better than Everest from other treks. Even Sir Edmund Hillary says he loves this place. Pikey is not as high as Everest Base Camp, but the view is wide—you see Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and even Kanchenjunga in the distance.
Treks start from Dhap or sometimes Jiri. The trail goes slowly through forest, village, and monastery. Sherpa people live here; they are very kind and show their Buddhist culture. You see stupas, prayer flags, and small gompas in the way.
The main day is to climb to Pikey Peak early in the morning. The wind is cold, the sky is clear, and the sun rises behind Everest. You feel like you’re on top of the world, but there’s no need to go to high altitude. After the view, trek down to Junbesi or Phaplu. Some people visit Thupten Chholing monastery, a very big and spiritual place.
Highlights of Pikey Peak Trek:
- Best sunrise view of Everest and the Himalayas
- Fewer tourists, peaceful and easy trail
- Sherpa culture, monastery visit
- Forest full of rhododendron, pine
- Short trek but big experience
- Stay in a local teahouse and eat dal bhat with a smile.
- Great for first trek or family trek
- No need for a flight—can go by jeep
Why These Four Treks Together?
These four treks are different but together make one perfect Himalaya combo. Everest Two Pass gives you adventure, high passes, and glaciers. Ghorepani gives you short beauty and an easy walk. Khopra gives you offbeat peace and a wide ridge. Pikey Peak gives you sunrise and Sherpa heart.
If you do all these things, you will see many faces of Nepal. You learn about Sherpa, Gurung, and Magar people. You eat in a mountain kitchen, sleep in a teahouse, walk in the forest, climb a high ridge, and see the sky touch a snow peak. All four treks are not the same, but together they make a dream journey.
Some people do all four in one long Nepal trip—total around 45-50 days. Some do two treks first and come back next year for the other two. But if you want a real taste of the Himalaya, this four-trek combo is best.
Best Time to Go for These Treks
- Spring (March to May) – Best flower, rhododendron bloom, clear mountain
- Autumn (September to November) – Best sky, best view, no rain
- Winter (December to February) – Cold but clear, good for Pikey and Ghorepani
- Monsoon (June to August)—Not good for high pass but ok for short trek
Food and Accommodation
All treks have teahouses. That means a small hotel on a mountain, giving you room and food. The room is simple—bed, blanket, window. Bathrooms are sometimes attached, sometimes common.
The food is dal bhat, noodles, momo, pancake, and fried rice. Dal bhat gives you power. Morning tea with sun—best moment. Dinner near the fire—happy time. You meet other trekkers, talk, and share stories.
Khopra and Pikey have community lodges, which local people manage. Your money helps them. Ghorepani and the Everest side have more lodges and many choices. You never feel hungry.
Tips for Doing the Four Trek Combo
- Walk slowly, no rush, enjoy the view.
- Drink water, protect from altitude
- Bring warm clothes, even for a short trek.
- Respect local people, say Namaste.
- Keep clean; do not throw plastic.
- Guide and porter make trek easy
- Travel insurance is very important.
- Permit and TIMS card needed—ask agency
