Gokyo Renja La Pass Trekking is one of the most amazing treks of Khumbu Region that offers the trekkers so many things to do during their journey. What makes it quite distinct from other treks is Gokyo Ri, a peak that the trekkers climb during their visit to Gokyo.
Gokyo Valley is one of the most interesting places in the Khumbu Region as it is the home of numerous culturally and historically significant villages. The valley also has a very popular complex of lakes known as Gokyo Lakes, and the trek including the three high passes makes its way through Gokyo Valley.
Many trekkers make it a point to stay in the region for a longer duration, during their trek, and explore the settlements around Gokyo, the Gokyo lake complex, Gokyo Ri and so on.
Details Of Gokyo Renja la Pass Trek in Nepal
Like most treks in the region, Gokyo Renja La Pass Trek starts from Lukla. From here, you make your way through Pakding and reach this amazing settlement of Namche Bazaar.
The journey from Lukla to Namche takes you through wonderful landscapes filled with beautiful spectacles of nature. You will come across sceneries with trees of rhododendron, pine, and juniper that are great to look at. The pleasing smell of the air, the sounds of the river, and the chirping of birds, the beautiful flowers, and greenery – by coming to this trek, you’re giving a treat all your senses.
Namche Bazaar is an amazing place with so many things to see and do. You can shop in the special market here, where you’ll find all the amenities required for trekking. You’ll find so many food options here that you’ll never miss home.
You‘ll also come across villages of Lumde, Dole, and Thame during your trek. These are great places to visit as they offer beautiful landscapes for you to cherish. One of the most exciting places you’ll come across during your trek is Gokyo village, which is sort of like a hub for trekking in Gokyo Valley.
The two main attractions of the Gokyo Renjo La Pass Trek are Renja La, which is a high altitude pass, and Gokyo Ri, which is a miniature peak. Both of these places offer amazing views of mountains in the region which include Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Pumori and so on. Gokyo Ri especially gives you the view of the entire valley. It’s a great experience standing on the top and taking a look around the place.
