Nepal Unique Treks has designed a 15-day Gokyo Renjo La Pass Trek, including your arrival and departure plus a day sightseeing tour in the Kathmandu valley. The trek starts with an exciting flight to Lukla and follows a steep river valley to Namche Bazaar via Sagarmatha National Park a UNESCO world heritage site of great natural value).
You will spend two nights at Namche: which ensures proper acclimatization. The trekking trip then continues following the northern Dudh Koshi Valley to reach Gokyo Lakes (the collection of pristine lakes). A pre-dawn hike to Gokyo Ri guarantees remarkable views of four out of the six highest peaks – Everest (8,848m), Makalu, Cho Oyu (8,153m), and Lhotse (8,511m) plus Nzogumpa Glacier (the largest Himalayan Glacier in the world).
The Renjo La Pass trail goes via a rarely used mountain track. The top of the pass rewards you with an unbelievable view of Gokyo Lakes on one side, the RermoPokhari Lake on the other side, and an array of snowy peaks in the background. If you want more adventure and to push your limit, we suggest the 19-day Everest Three Pass Trek that incorporates the crossing of three high mountain passes
