Three Passes Trek in Nepal
Hi there.
I know this topic has been covered countless times, but I can't seem to find clear answers to my questions.
I'm currently looking into doing the Three Passes Trek, including some adjacent routes like EBC, Kala Patthar, Gokyo Ri, and maybe Chukung Ri. I'm planning to do this trek between April and May.
But I have a few questions.
In terms of difficulty, I think I'm physically up for it—I'm athletic and used to mountain hiking in France—but is there any specific training I should do? Just to note, I did the Annapurna Base Camp last year without any issues.
Is it doable without a guide? I’d prefer to skip a guide and porter so I can really move freely. Is that crazy, or is it common? I’m mostly concerned about the Cho La and Renjo La passes (more about the route and risk of getting lost than safety).
Finally, I’m wondering about the duration. I’m a fast hiker, but I plan to take my time to acclimatize properly and enjoy the scenery (and maybe relax a bit in those landscapes🙂(By the way, does living at 2,000m altitude for 90% of the year help with AMS?) How much time should I budget for the trek to be safe, even if it means spending 2-3 extra days around Lukla-Namche? I was thinking of setting aside 20 days—does that sound reasonable?
Thanks for reading, and sorry in advance for any spelling mistakes. If I think of more questions, I’ll post them in this thread.
Cheers

Formalités pour un voyage d'environ un mois au Tibet?
Bonsoir a tous !
Dans le cadre d'un voyage au Tibet que j'aimerais effectuer d'ici 2 ou 3 ans, j'aimerais savoir qu'elles sont les formalités a effectuer.
J'ai bien entendus utiliser le mode recherche mais je m'embrouille quelque peux entre les voyages organiser, les permis de groupes.....
Donc, en gros j'aimerais y rester environ 1 mois et sans être dans le cadre d'un voyage organiser, en gros être "libre" (pas facile dans ce pays).
(J'ai essayer de poster directement dans "disculpation général" dans la section Tibet mais j'ai été directement rediriger vers le mode recherche)
Merci !
