Solo Hiking Everest Three Passes Trek: EBC, Gokyo Lakes, Chukhung Ri & Kala Patthar without a guide

I hiked Everest Three Passes Trek in Nepal in April 2023 by myself (as a female), without a guide or porter. Due to weather conditions, I had to create a modified schedule. Therefore, I hiked from Lukla to Everest Base Camp via an alternate pass, then EBC to Goyko Lakes via Cho La Pass, and then finally from Goyko back to Lukla via an alternate route. Therefore, I completed 1/3 passes. However, I still completed some amazing peaks along the way which included: Chukhung Ri, Gokyo Ri, and Kala Patthar.

My trek took 16 days round trip. I had arrived to Katmandu a few days earlier to acclimatize and prepare. I recommend doing this trek counter clockwise.
