Fixed Departure Trip 
Renjo La Pass Trekking - 15 Days
Gokyo valley via Renjo pass trekking is no doubt one of the most thrilling trekking in Everest region and is one of the longest and challenging trekking trails 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.
Renjo La Pass Trekking offers an eye catching Himalayan views of whole Solu khumbu Himalayan region, including of Mt. Everest (8848m), Mt. Lhotse (5816m), Mt. Maklau (8463m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8201m) , Nuptse (7855m), Mt. Pumori (7145m), Mt. Ama Dablam (6856m), Mt. Thamserku (6723m) and other more mountains peaks of Everest region. The travelers can also explore the Lush-valleys, high passes, Tibetan Sherpa culture and their warm hospitality while exploring Gokyo trekking tour.
There are two possible routes, Renjo pass trekking 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 attractions 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 la Pass trekking 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.
