Hi Willie,

I can’t comment on the current situation regarding independent trekking but I wouldn’t be worrying too much. I know a few people who have been trekking in Nepal this year. Best to do your research though!

Things are certainly opening up and I’d say next year should be good to go regardless.

Hi Olly,

Enjoyed and so encouraged by your independent trekking of the 3 Passes. I read many articles encouraging hiring of guides or porters. I went to EBC solo, without guide and porter and enjoyed it!

I am preparing to trek the 3 Passes next year with my son but perhaps the local government may not allow such independent trekking due to COVID-19.

Any words of encouragement if independent trekking is allowed next year in which I shall trek the 3 Passes

Hi mate,

Each day definitely didn’t feel short. The trekking times that I’ve written in the itinerary only account for hours walking from each destination. Of course, trekking times will end up longer as you’ll probably want to stop for photos, take some side trips and spend some time in the tea houses between each destination. The Khumbu is absolutely incredible, from the sights to the people— you certainly won’t get bored.

This itinerary follows a fairly safe acclimatization plan. While it is tough, your body could physically walk further and longer each day, but it’s the attitude that will give you trouble if you push your limits.

It seems from the story that each day was very short, what did you do on the rest of the time?

Loved the post, Olly. The pictures are mesmerizing. Are there any conditions(like medical checkups etc.) to get the permit or it is issued to all? There is a 3-pass trek route in the Indian Himalayas too. Do check my blogs. Thanks
