Summer in Nepal brings the monsoon season from June to August. However, areas at higher elevations, such as Cho La Pass, are experiencing less rainfall due to global warming.

Fantastic Cho La pass trek

We were four of us. It was a fantastic trek in one of the highest passes of the Everest region. Trekking in Chola Pass has been on my bucket list since I trekked to Everest Base Camp. As an adventure seeker, I always try something challenging, and this time, I choose Chola Pass. I did my Everest Base Camp trek with Boundless Adventure, and after their best service, I decided on them for my Chola Pass.

Mr. Dambar perfectly managed everything. He customized my itinerary as I preferred. My guide was so friendly and encouraged me in every step. The entire Boundless Adventure team is like a family—the most recommended trekking company. I will choose them for future Adventurous activities in Nepal.

Trekking in Chola Pass

My friend recommended Boundless Adventure; I messaged them through WhatsApp and got a quick response. After listening to and analyzing my preference, Mr. Dambar Khadka suggested trekking in Chola Pass. He assured me that, as an experienced trekker, I could efficiently complete the trek. The team of Boundless Adventure welcomed me at the airport in a hospitable manner, and then they arranged the finest hotel as per my preference.

When I was trekking, they were taking my updates on whether I was doing well or not. The guide also has a crucial role in completing my journey. My guide was highly experienced and fluent in English. There was no compromise in any service. I appreciated their dedication toward work and loved their sound service. We have planned to go to Manaslu next year with the same company and crew.
