Itinerary
14 days Renjo-La Pass Trekking
Embark on the 14-day Renjo La Pass Trekking adventure, a thrilling expedition that takes you through the stunning landscapes of the Khumbu region. This trek, reaching an altitude of 5360 meters, promises breathtaking views, cultural experiences, and an unforgettable journey.
The trek commences with a short yet scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where the real adventure begins. The initial trek leads you to Phakding, a quaint village nestled at an altitude of 2656 meters. As you trek through the serene trails, you’ll be surrounded by the lush greenery and the gentle flow of rivers, offering a perfect introduction to the journey ahead.
From Phakding, the trail ascends towards Namche Bazaar, the bustling heart of the Khumbu region at 3450 meters. Known for its vibrant markets and rich Sherpa culture, Namche Bazaar serves as a vital acclimatization stop. Here, trekkers can explore local markets, interact with the Sherpa community, and enjoy the stunning vistas of the surrounding peaks.
The following day is dedicated to acclimatization, a crucial step in high-altitude trekking. A short hike to the viewpoint at 3800 meters offers a panoramic view of the Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. The trek then continues to the picturesque village of Khumjung, renowned for its monastery that houses the alleged scalp of a Yeti. This day not only aids in acclimatization but also enriches your cultural experience as you explore the local monastery and school.
Leaving Namche Bazaar, the trek heads towards Dole, situated at 4040 meters. The trail winds through rhododendron and pine forests, offering occasional glimpses of majestic peaks. The small village of Dole, with its limited but cozy lodges, provides a serene resting spot.
Continuing the journey, you’ll trek to Machhermo at 4470 meters. The path is relatively gentle, allowing you to soak in the beauty of the Himalayas. Machhermo is not only a resting spot but also a place of legends, where tales of the Yeti are still told.
The next destination is Gokyo, a highlight of the trek. At 4700 meters, Gokyo Valley and its pristine lakes are a sight to behold. En route, you’ll pass through Phang, where a devastating avalanche occurred in 1995, and Taujung Lake, a serene spot that adds to the trek’s allure. The Gokyo Lakes, with their crystal-clear waters, are among the highest freshwater lakes in the world and offer an ethereal experience.
A day is dedicated to exploring Gokyo Ri, the highest point of the trek at 5360 meters. An early morning hike to Gokyo Ri provides a breathtaking sunrise view over Everest, Cho Oyu, and Makalu. The panoramic vistas from the top are unparalleled, making the challenging ascent worthwhile. The rest of the day can be spent exploring other high-altitude lakes in the area, adding to the adventure.
The trek then leads to Lungden, at 4380 meters, via the Renjo La Pass. This is one of the most challenging parts of the trek, but the views from the top are simply awe-inspiring. The descent to Lungden is gradual, and the trail takes you through yak grazing lands and serene landscapes.
From Lungden, the journey continues to Thame, a village at 3800 meters with a rich Buddhist heritage. The trail follows a stream and offers a relatively easy descent. Thame is known for its monastery and the traditional lifestyle of its inhabitants, providing a cultural touch to the adventure.
Next, you’ll trek to Monjo at 2835 meters. The path takes you back through Namche Bazaar, allowing for a nostalgic revisit of the bustling market. Monjo, a peaceful village, offers a tranquil spot to rest before the final leg of the trek.
The trek concludes with a descent to Lukla. The trail is familiar yet offers new perspectives on the journey you’ve undertaken. Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu region, marks the end of the trekking adventure. Here, you’ll spend the night before taking a flight back to Kathmandu.
The final day in Kathmandu is a time to relax and reflect on the incredible journey. The city offers numerous attractions, and you’ll have the day to explore at your leisure before your departure.
Throughout the trek, you’ll be accompanied by experienced guides and porters who ensure your safety and comfort. The trek includes accommodations in hotels and tea houses, providing a blend of adventure and comfort. Meals are provided throughout the trek, allowing you to focus on the journey and the breathtaking landscapes.
