About Renjo La Pass Trek

The Renjo-La Pass Trek is the best trekking trip in the Everest Region for the incredible view of the Everest Himalayas and other attractions. This Trek offers the best view of the Everest massif, beautiful Gokyo Lakes, glaciers, valleys, wildlife, and much more, including the 4th highest mountain (Makalu 8,463m). Renjo La Top and Gokyo Ri are the best attractions on this Trek.

The Renjola Pass Trek is the best Everest trek which follows the main trekking trail, leads to the Everest Base Camp, and splits towards the Gokyo Lake Trekking trail. Being away from the crowd, this Trekking trail gives you a great experience of the Everest Himalaya, the Himalayan hidden valley Thame, and much more.

Khumbu Region is the land of the massive Mahalangur Himalayan Range with the three tallest mountains in the world and can be seen as the 4th highest mountain (Makalu). Gokyo Valley is famed for its great five lakes and the biggest glacier in the Khumbu Region. Gokyo Valley- Renjo Pass Trek offers the most puzzling views of the world’s highest mountains Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,516m), Cho-Oyu (8,201m) from Everest Massif, and Makalu (8,463 m) from Makalu Barun with the other phenomenal Amadablam, Thamserku, Ghyachungkhang, and much more. Gokyo Ri is another attraction for viewing the same mountains, the largest glacier (Ngozomba), and the good Gokyo Lakes.

After the pass, the Himalayan hidden valley (Thame) is one of the best attractions and gateway to Tibet. The Tibetans would bring the stuff from Tibet via this valley to sell in Namche Bazaar and around the Khumbu area. Visiting one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries with a reincarnated Lama is another opportunity during this Trek.

The Sherpa are the local inhabitants of this region who are mountain legends. They look similar to the Tibetan people, and their language is similar. The warm hospitality of the people, culture, lifestyle, and traditional villages also attracts visitors. UNESCO natural world heritage site (Sagarmatha National Park) has an eco-friendly tourism concept in which the Sherpa community plays an important role.
