Kongma La Pass (5,535 m / 18,159 ft) is the highest and toughest pass on the famous Everest Three Passes Trek in Nepal. Known as one of the most adventurous trails in the Himalayas, Kongma La offers a wild, remote, and unforgettable experience. Crossing this high pass means walking on rocky trails, icy sections, and open landscapes, but the reward is breathtaking views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam.
At Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition (NHT), we guide trekkers safely across Kongma La with expert local guides, porter services, and proper acclimatization. Whether you want a budget trek, comfort trek, or luxury Everest trek package, our team makes sure your journey is safe, affordable, and memorable.
Unlike the Everest Base Camp trail, Kongma La feels untouched and peaceful. There are no tea houses at the pass itself, so trekkers must carry snacks and water for the crossing. The steep climbs and sometimes snowy trails make it challenging, but the views are worth every step. From the top, you can see:
This makes Kongma La trekking a “hidden gem” for trekkers who want a real Himalayan adventure away from crowds.
The best time for Kongma La Pass is spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) when the skies are clear, the weather is stable, and mountain views are perfect.
At Nature Heaven Treks Kathmandu office, our team checks weather forecasts, prepares safety gear, and guides trekkers step by step to make sure the crossing is safe and enjoyable.
Kongma La is challenging because of the high altitude and long walking hours (7–9 hours on pass day). Thin air makes it harder to breathe, and altitude sickness can be a risk. That’s why acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar, Dingboche, or Chhukung are very important.
