Three high passes journey will continue via the Imja Khola Valley to glacial moraines in the midst of towering peaks.

At the terminal moraine, you can see Imja Tse summit, which has a rocky and frosty aspect. A half-hour hike from Bibre will take you to Chhukung, where you may see amazing view of  glaciers and snow-capped mountains.

Entering the isolated alpine hinterlands on this day, where there are no teashops, so bring lots of water with you. You will be given two choices here. Climb the slope northwest of Chhukung to the Nuptse glacier, or stroll down to the Bibre valley and trek to the high path above Niyang Khola. After a short stroll, you will be rewarded with a spectacular view of Island Peak Valley and Amphu Lapcha's Stony Peak. You will reach a vast basin littered with ice lakes rising along the east side of Niyang Khola valley on a rocky path . After a 5-hour hike via the Kongma La Pass, you will be leaving Chhukung. Kongma La is the highest pass among Everest's three high passes. The prayer flags flapping to mark the pass at the peak can only be seen if you reach the top. The descent now begins, which will be the most arduous and strenuous part of today's expedition. You ascend the far side moraine, then head north along the Khumbu glacier route, which eventually leads to Lobuche, your today's three high passes trek final destination.

To witness the stunning vista of Cholatse, you must get up early in the morning. The toughest portion of the Everest three High Passes trek journey begins when you travel through Dzongla, passing through ridge woodland before descending to a basin. As you return to the top, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of Chola Lake and Mt Ama Dablam. The steep ascent is made more difficult because of rocky path, which leads to the sinuous Bergschrund pathways. You can see breathtaking peaks all around you from the summit, which are framed by flying prayer flags. Unless the rocks are covered with ice, making the path treacherous and dangerous, the descent to Thagnak is reasonably easy. You will spend the night in Thagnak.

The fourth lake, with its towering cliffs and peaks rising above it, lies 3 kilometers north of Gokyo. The walk continues to the fifth and largest azure blue dazzling lake. You can even ascend the slopes at the lake's side to see Cho-Oyu, Gyachung, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Makalu in all their glory. Cho Oyu base camp is located beyond the fifth lake, and the stunning panorama is well worth seeing. It is up to your curiosity, time, and energy to see whether you can make it to the sixth lake. This is the second acclimatization day.

Early in the morning hiking to Renjola pass, bypassing the main Gokyo valley route to follow the Renjola trail through Dudh Pokhari.

This is the final day  of the trip through Everest Three High Passes as adventure will start in Namche and complete in Lukla. The difficulties are immense, as you'll be trekking down a steep slope with shaky legs till you reach the airport area. To cross the bridge across the Dudh Koshi and into the alpine forest, take it slowly and carefully. The flat route becomes flatter and more natural after passing the suspension bridges across the fast-flowing Dudh Koshi and its tributaries. The combination of broad plains, rhododendron and pine woods, and distant snow-capped peaks will appeal to you. As you proceed through the villages and arrive at Lukla, you will see several walls and monasteries, with a strong Buddhist conviction.
