The trek to Kongma La was indeed the most diverse trail on the EBC and Three Passes trek. Day 05 started from the village of Chukhung (4700 m) and we were able to cross the first pass named Kongma La (5540 m). You will be spending quite some time above 5000 meter on Day 05 so make sure that your body is properly acclimatized.
.
There are no water sources on the trail so make sure that you carry enough water with you. Lobuche (5000 m) has good number of accommodation options so need for pre-booking. The most important tip for the day when you would cross Kongma La will be to start as early as possible. Kongma la is at 5540 meter so the weather could switch sides at any point of time so better to pick a clear weather day and start as early as possible.
