Overview


Situated in the Everest region, the Renjo La Pass Trek is truly a combination of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and adventure. Offered by Nepal Mt Lover, this trek is a quiet but equally rewarding alternative to popular routes like the Everest Base Camp Trek, taking one through beautiful landscapes, Sherpa villages, and high-altitude terrains. The most amazing part of any trip is crossing the amazing Renjo La Pass at an elevation of 5,345 meters, offering trekkers an outstanding panorama of the world’s highest peaks: Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and Makalu.

As the journey passes through peaceful jungles of rhododendron, over glacial valleys, and into the clear lakes of Gokyo, the Renjo La Pass Trek becomes very much amazing and full of natural beauty. During the way across Sherpa villages, the trek offers rare opportunities to watch the livelihood of Sherpa villages and also understand their tradition and culture. The trek also provides time to visit ancient monasteries and appreciate rich fauna and flora, always supported by the magnificent sunrises and sunsets over the peaks covered with snow.

Whether in search of adventure or peace, or perhaps a mixture of a little adventure with being close to nature, the Renjo La Pass Trek would be a best option for each trekker who wants to enjoy the beauty of nature with some adventure in a peaceful environment.
