You land in Nepal. The air smelled of dust, spice, and mountain cold mixed together. It’s not a perfect smell, but it sticks in your mind forever. There’s the noise of horns, people shouting in the streets, and prayer flags moving slowly in the breeze. You haven’t even started trekking yet, but your heart is already feeling different. Some say you come for one trek only, but here… oh no. Three treks waiting. Annapurna Circuit. Everest Three Pass. Pikey Peak. Each one is not the same. Each one gives something you never expect. And you take them all in one journey. Madness? Maybe. But sometimes the best adventure is a little mad.
Annapurna Circuit—the big circle where the world changes every day
When you start Annapurna Circuit Trek . This is a very interesting and mindblowing place.Many trekkers say this one is a classic. And it is. On the first days you walk between rice fields and small rivers making noise like soft talking and villages where kids run barefoot and laugh for no reason. The air is warm. You sweat. You think mountain life is easy, maybe. But keep walking, and the trail begins to rise. Green turns to pine forest. Then the pine gives up, and there’s only rocks, snow high above, and wind coming fast. You feel change in your breath. Not so easy now.
One day you walk through Manang. This place is quiet. You see old houses made of stone and tiny windows. People here wear warm hats even in the sun. You try butter tea. Strange taste at first sip. Second sip, you want more. The cold outside makes you like it. Nights here feel different. Stars so near you can almost touch.
Then Thorong La Pass. The big one. Over 5,400 meters. You wake before the sun. Darkness is heavy. Steps slow, breath slow. Ice under boots. The sun rose and hit the mountains pink. You almost cry, but not because of beauty only—also pain in legs and cold in hands. But you cross. The wind is so strong you can’t hear yourself. You look around. Himalaya on every side. At this moment, you know why you came.
Down the other side, trails feel easy. Villages change again. Apple orchards appear. Hot springs steam in Tatopani. You sit in water, tired body happy. That’s the Annapurna Circuit—it’s like walking through four countries in one.
Everest Three Pass Trek—harder, higher, wilder
If Annapurna Circuit is like a book with many chapters, Everest Three Pass Trek is like a storm. It doesn’t let you rest much. You start in Lukla. The plane to get here was already an adventure. Tiny airstrip, mountains close. You walk into Khumbu Valley. At first, trail gently. Sherpa villages, prayer wheels spinning. You see Ama Dablam, like a sharp tooth in the sky.
First pass – Kongma La. Not easy. Snow crunches under boots, the sun feels close, but the air is thin. Your backpack is heavy. Sometimes you ask yourself, why do this? But then on top, you see lakes frozen like glass, Everest far but clear. That question disappears.
Then Cho La. This one is tricky. You cross a glacier. Ice underfoot creaks like it might break but doesn’t. Peaks stand all around, white and hard. The wind cuts your face but also makes you feel alive.
Last is Renjo La. By now your legs don’t want more climbing. But this pass gives a view of Gokyo Lakes—blue like someone dropping paint in the valley. You see Everest again, taller than all. There is a feeling here, quiet, like time stops.
The Everest Three Pass trek is not for slow wandering. It pushes you. It tests you. But it also gives back more than you think you can hold.
Pikey Peak Trek—simple, secret, soulful
After Annapurna and Everest, you think nothing small can impress. But Pikey Peak Trek … it surprises you. This trek is not crowded. Sometimes the whole day you walk alone, with only the bells of yaks far away.
The trail moves through a forest smelling of pine and rhododendron flowers. Villages are small. People here are not used to many trekkers. They smile shyly. They offer tea. You drink and watch smoke from the kitchen mix with cold air. Nights are so quiet, you can hear your own heart.
The climb to Pikey Peak is not hard like passes in Everest, but it’s still a strong walk. You go early before light. On top, the sun comes up slowly. And there—the big reward—you see Everest, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga, all in one line. Some say this is the best Everest view in Nepal. No noise, no crowd, just you and mountains turning gold.
Coming down, you feel lighter. Maybe because Pikey Peak is gentle on the body but heavy on the soul. It leaves a mark inside.
Putting them all together—one journey for the brave
Doing these three treks in one trip… not common. Most people do one and go home. But if you have time and a strong body, it’s possible. You go from the big circle of Annapurna to the hard heights of Everest and pass to the quiet heart of Pikey Peak. It’s like tasting three different kinds of mountain life.
Your body changes—strong legs, lungs that know thin air. Your mind changes—patience for slow trails, respect for simple villages, and deep love for the wild space between sky and earth.
What it feels like—day after day
Some days you wake to the sound of the river. Some days the yaks shake bells. Some days the wind hits the tent hard. Food change—dal bhat in one place, apple pie in another, noodles in a tiny tea house. You meet trekkers from many countries. You meet locals who never leave their valley. You hear languages you don’t understand, but smiles work fine.
Weather plays with you. Sunburn in the morning, snow by afternoon. One day you walk in in a T-shirt, the next in three jackets. This keeps you awake, alive.
Small things that stay
A boy in Manang chasing his goat. A woman in Namche carrying a heavy basket with a strap on her forehead. A dog that walks with you for hours and then disappears. Steam from tea in a cold lodge. Hands warm around the cup.
Flags on passes, colors moving in wind, prayers going somewhere. The smell of juniper burning in the monastery. The sound of boots on snow, slow and steady.
Why you should do all three
Doing one trek is cool. But doing these three? Now you are talking about a real Nepal experience. It’s like a different flavor of the same dish. Annapurna is a variety, Everest Three Passes is a challenge, and Pikey is beauty and peace. You get all mountains, all culture, and all stories. Meet people from all over. Some walk for fun, some for healing, and some are just crazy. You learn from them.
Also, you learn from yourself. You learn how strong you are. how to live with less. How to enjoy hot tea after a cold day. How to sleep when your legs scream. How to be ok with silence.
and food. Man, I miss dal bhat, thukpa, Tibetan bread, and yak cheese. even garlic soup. Say what you want, but garlic soup saved my lungs.
A few tips before you go
Walk slowly. AMS (altitude sickness) is real. Mountains don’t care how fast you go. respect height.
drink water. pee clear. If you pee yellow, drink more. simple rule.- Pack light. Every gram matters when you walk 7 hours uphill.
- talk to locals. They smile easily and talk deeply.
- Don’t compare treks. Each one is unique. Just feel it.
- Bring chocolate. Trust me. melt in a bag but still worth it.
- Take photos, but don’t forget to look with your eyes too.
Coming back down
When all the treks finish and you’re back in Kathmandu, the streets feel too loud. Your legs want to walk more. But you also like soft beds. You look at mountains from afar, and it’s strange. They feel like dreams now. But inside, you know they are real. They change you.
