Home » Gokyo Renjo La Pass Trek

Gokyo Renjo La Pass Trek is no doubt one of the most spectacular mountain areas in Everest region. This short route enables trekkers who have limited time to discover the most famous beauties of Nepal. Set among breath-taking high mountain surroundings, the route leads through the Khumbu the motherland of Sherpa.

There are two possible routes, Renjo pass trek or an alternative itinerary. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent up the valley passes through the patches of birch and rhododendron forest where the indescribable musk deer can sometimes be seen. Through small yak-grazing settlements, we reach to Gokyo lakes. The Gokyo Peak (5480m) ascent is one of the tourist attraction of this circuit. We have a rest for some time to enjoy with the incredible sceneries including magnificent views of Everest (8848m), Makalu, Cho Oyo (8153m) and Lhotse (8511m), to name them a few. The Renjo Pass route is off the usual beaten track. At the pass, a great view of the Gokyo lakes on one side, the Rermo Pokhari lakes on the other side, and a numerous of snowy peaks are in the background, which provide as incredible atmosphere. The alternative route is much easier. From Gokyo, the trail descends along the opposite bank of the Dudh koshi.
