Felt Really Disheartening

Imagine going on one of the best adventures of your life, sharing your pictures on Reddit just to help and inspire other aspiring travellers… only to later find someone else reposting your photos as if they were their own.

And when you politely reach out and raise your concern about it, instead of understanding, they start abusing you for it.

Honestly feels pretty disheartening.

Everest Three Passes - completed - April 2026

I recently completed the Everest Three Passes Trek solo in April 2026.

No guide, no porter, no package.

I skipped the Lukla flights and used the road route via Salleri–Surkhe instead. Total trekking days were 15, plus 2 days each side for Kathmandu travel by road.

I did the trek anti-clockwise because I felt it suited me better for acclimatization. Also visited Ama Dablam Base Camp on the way.

Unfortunately, the weather was pretty bad for a few days during my trek, so I couldn’t do side hikes like Nangkartshang Peak, Chukhung Ri, Imja Tse viewpoint, etc. I also skipped Kala Patthar because I was honestly too tired by then. Couldn’t do Gokyo Ri either due to weather.

Interestingly, Kongma La didn’t feel super hard for me physically. Maybe because I unintentionally got some rest in Chukhung as I was stuck there because the weather was too bad to even go for any of the acclimatization hikes over there..

The conditions around Kongma La were rough. For 2 days, people hadn’t crossed from the Chukhung side because visibility and navigation were so bad. Some people had to turn back completely.

A few days after I crossed, a solo trekker sadly died somewhere below Kongma La. Don’t know the exact reason. Probably AMS + getting lost otw, because the weather was bad most days, and it was risky to cross the pass alone at that time.

Once I joined the main EBC trail, everything suddenly felt crowded and busy compared to the quieter parts before. After EBC, I diverted towards Dzongla for Cho La.

Cho La was definitely busier than Kongma La because of all the EBC + Gokyo trekkers. The descent after the pass was a bit tricky but honestly fun too.

Also experienced some rockfall sections between Dragnag and near Gokyo.

I skipped the extra acclimatization/rest day in Gokyo and attempted Renjo La the next morning. That pass actually felt the hardest for me personally. Probably because I hadn’t really rested properly after Kongma La and Cho La and had been moving continuously for days.

Still, somehow made it through all three passes safely. It was such a great experience.

I’m also currently making a detailed PDF guide for the trek, including my itinerary, costs, route details, and other things that may help people planning to do it independently. Still a work in progress though.
