Gokyo and Renjo La Pass Trek – 14 Days

When you arrive at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, one of our representatives will meet you. We will use our own tourist car to transport you to the hotel. In the afternoon, we had a pre-trip meeting with our trekking guide at the office.

March, April, May, September, October, and November flights from Manthali to Lukla

Due to an increase in air traffic, flights to Lukla will be flown from Ramechhap/Manthali during peak seasons, which include March, April, May, September, October, and November. It takes roughly five or six hours to drive from Kathmandu to the Manthali/Ramechhap airport. We get up between 1:00 and 3:00 AM on this day, ride in a shared tourist car to Manthali Airport, and then get a 20-minute flight to Lukla.

January, February, June, July, August, and December flights from Kathmandu to Lukla

The flights to Lukla are usually offered from Kathmandu in January, February, June, July, August, and December, which are considered off-peak seasons. Please be advised that the airline alone makes the decision on whether or not to operate flights, and that decision is impacted by the number of passengers in a given month. We get up between five and six in the morning on this particular day. You will be escorted by our team to the domestic airport terminal in Kathmandu, where you will catch a flight to Lukla that takes 35 minutes.

Typically, flights arrive at Tenzing-Hillary Airport early in the morning. To avoid a rush on Day 2, we advise you to do all of the sorting and packing the day before. After arriving in Lukla, eat breakfast while our guide arranges for porters. Every two clients are given a porter. Just above Chaunikharka (2,713 m), you will find the main trail to Namche Bazaar. To start the journey, descend towards the Dudh Kosi River. Walking is straightforward, and it is a short hike to Phakding after passing through the tiny village of Ghat (2,550 m).

We keep walking along the Dudh Koshi’s banks, frequently traversing the magnificent rivers on thrilling suspension bridges that are adorned with prayer flags. The trail offers stunning vistas as it climbs sharply after entering Sagarmatha National Park.

Many excellent restaurants, hotels, lodges, shops, money exchange services, internet cafés, and bakeries can be found in Namche Bazaar, also known as the Gateway to Everest. The largest town on the Everest path is Namche.

In order to get used to the thinner air, we spend a day in Namche Bazaar. Our journey will take us a short distance to a museum renowned for its displays of Sherpa traditional customs

In addition, we hike up to the Everest View Hotel, which is close to Syangboche Airport. Recognizing views of the Himalayas are available from this location, including a breathtaking sunrise and sunset across the Khumbu peak panorama.

After breakfast, we continue walking till we reach Sanasa, which is the same path to the Everest Base Camp. The trail then climbs to Mongla, which is 4,000 meters above sea level.

The trail continues to be accompanied by breathtaking vistas of the Alps. We go through stunning rhododendron trees before descending to Phortse Tenga and climbing sharply to reach Dole. The entire walk from Namche Bazaar will take six hours

We continue climbing up the valley’s picturesque sides in the early morning, passing past tiny prickly plants on our way to the scrub juniper.

The summer settlement regions, where yaks are transported to pastures for grazing throughout the summer, are visible as altitude rises.

We may see the stunning Cho Oyu Mount Ain as we ascend these regions. We finally arrive at Machherma after four or five hours of walking.

Today’s walk leads us to Gokyo (4,790m), one of our primary destinations. We follow one of the meltwater rivers that flows down the west side of the Ngozumpa glacier after taking the picturesque route to Pangka and dropping a little.

The trail goes to staircases, and at 4,650 meters above sea level, the first lake, known as Longponga, is reached at the top of the stairs. After there, the trail continues along the valley, passing the second lake, also called Taujun Lake, which is 4,800 meters above sea level.

The stunning Gokyo valley is reached after a little more walking. On the banks of a sizable lake called Dudh Pokhari, Gokyo lies a group of stone homes and walled pastures.

We begin the day with a strenuous ascent to the 5,450-meter summit of Gokyo Ri. Those who pursue this journey will reap many benefits.

You may enjoy breathtaking views of the enormous Ngozumpa glacier, the huge Gokyo valley, and the entire Khumbu Himalayas, which includes the giants Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho-Oyu, and Gychung Kang

We reach the breathtaking Renjo La Pass, which is 5,340 meters high and located in the Everest Region, after a three-hour hike at the crack of dawn. Renjo La Pass is a genuinely amazing high point, and its altitude adds to its attractiveness.

The views that open up, which include the magnificent Mount Everest, the graceful Cholatse, and the powerful Taboche, are simply breathtaking.

We continue our journey along the trail, making our way to Lunden, our target for the day. We can observe the breathtaking snow peaks while on the trail. The entire day’s hike will take seven hours.

We return to the trail, which primarily descends to the settlement of Thame, after breakfast. The hike offers breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks.

Amidst the numerous residences of monks and laypeople, there is a charming monastery called Thame Monastery situated approximately 150 meters above Thame. It is situated on a hillside with a view of the valley.

Every year, around the middle of May, the Mani Rimdu festival is celebrated here in the spring.

One of the oldest monasteries in the area is located in Thame, a traditional Sherpa community that has managed to avoid the hordes of people making the climb up Everest. Notably, the settlement is the birthplace of Apa Sherpa, who has climbed Everest 21 times!

The trek itself is serene and offers great views of the mountains as it meanders through the canyon’s woodland. We begin our journey today by walking from Thame down the hill. Namche Bazar will be the final destination for the day’s journey, and the walk will be brief and easy.

It will seem like eons ago when we finally make our way back to Lukla, the starting point of the trek. You will have more time to think back on the journey and explore the town.
