Everest Base Camp October 2015: Three Passes Route
The most common trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp follows the busy route up the valleys of the Dudh Koshi and Imja Khola rivers. The “three passes“ route we took diverts up the Bhote Koshi valley, then heads across the grain of the ridges over three passes to take in the views. These views include four 8000m peaks: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Between the first two passes are the five Gokyo lakes, and between the second two is Everest Base Camp. At the end was Kathmandu, including Durbar Square. It was booked through KE Adventure Travel.
On 25th April & 12th May 2015 two large earthquakes hit Nepal. Thousands were killed or injured and hundreds of thousands displaced due to damage to buildings and infrastructure.
This trip was 10th October - 2nd November 2015, though I originally booked my place on 30th March, before the earthquakes.
Tourism is apparently Nepal’s largest industry. In most areas the Nepalis quickly repaired tourist facilities damaged by
