Trekking in the Everest Region

Gokyo Lake Nagpa La via Renjo Pass Trek

Trek Grade: C
Trek Duration: 18 Days
Trip Duration: 21 Days
Hotel KTM: 4 Nights
Season: March to May & Sept to Nov

Introduction:

This trek takes the trekkers up to Nagpa la at the border with Tibet which is a very remote area.  This Pass is the path Tibetan traders have used for centuries to enter the Khumbu. Tibetan traders still take this route over the Himalayas driving the caravans of yak laden with goods to sell at Namche Bazaar.  A particularly beautiful time to explore this region is at the end of monsoon when wild flowers decorate the typically barren Nangpala in a sea of color.  Observing the Tibetan caravans, the area's remoteness, gazing at the biggest glaciers in  the Khumbu region, and spectacular views of Mt. Everest and Mt. Cho Oyo are the spectacular highlights of this trek. The newly opened Renjo Pass crossing between Gokyo and Nangpala is a breathtakingly beautiful walk offering impressive views of Mt. Everest.
