Specially, three passes Trekking is popular for those who want a tough mountain magical challenging adventurer trip into the world's Highest Mountain fold. The amazing trip goes through different valleys in the Mighty Everest region. People may think Trekking into this region is only for seeing the high mountains and giant Glaciersl, there are so many things to experience within three passes of Everest trekking. There are FOUR significant meaningful valleys such as CHHUKUNG VALLEY (Eastern Nomadic Alley), KHUMBU VALLEY (Prime Himalayan Alley), GOKYO VALLEY (Holistic Alley), and THAME VALLEY ( Bhote or Northern Nomadic Alley). These four different valleys have different histories and meanings. At the moment widely known and respected Himalayan ethnic cast Sherpa reside highly in these regions. The ancient history of the Khumbu civilization is quite mysterious and interesting. It has taken thousands of years and generations to build the recent moment in the Khumbu region. According to the "KIRANT ETHIOLOGY LEGENDS,” the modern civilization of Khumbu has come over with several historic ERAs. The first was the Nomadic Era, the pilgrimage Era, the Trans- Himalayan trading Era, and the settlement Era in the Khumbu region. So without any doubt, the ancestors of Sherpa were Tibetan and came across NANGPA - LA PASS.
In the beginning, they came with their cattle to Nomadic pastures and later followed on pilgrimages from BHOT (TIBET) to NEPALAYA & BHARAT (INDIA) for a BODGAYA tour. During travel, they developed the Trans-Himalayan Trade of Salt, which likely continued for years and years then they decided to stay before the NANGPA - LA PASS but close to the BHOT society. That may make it easier for them to barter Himalayan Salt with grains and chilly in the lowlands during winter and transfer to Tibet in summer. They have developed the same culture, traditions, and religions that they used to have in Tibet. So, the recent culture, traditions, and religious practices are very similar to the Tibetans in the Khumbu region. The language may diverted slightly but it is sure the TIBETO language. Until a few years back People of Khumbu were called Bhote and Lama etc…but these cast names changed into Sherpa after Tenzing Norgay’s and Sir Edmund Hilary’s successful attempt on Everest.
The Three-pass Trek is a bit away from crowded and takes you at least 9 times above 5000 meters altitude. So that, you will have enough acclimatization and will have enough time to experience Tibeto Sherpa Buddhist culture and Traditions.
