Gokyo Valley Via Renjo Pass Trek |

|
Gokyo Valley Via Renjo Pass Trek is certainly
one of the most stunning mountain areas on earth. This short
route enables trekkers who have a limited time to discover the
most famous beauties of Nepal. Set amongst breath-taking high
mountain scenery, the route leads through the Khumbu - Sherpa
country. 2 routes are possible: Renjo Pass trek or an
alternative itinerary. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent up
the valley passing through patches of birch and rhododendron
forest where the elusive musk deer can sometimes be seen.
Through small yak-grazing settlements, we reach the Gokyo lakes.
The Gokyo Peak (5480m) ascent is the one of the highlights of
this circuit. We stay here to savor the incredible scenery,
including magnificent views of Everest (8848m), Makalu, Cho Oyo
(8153m) and Lhotse (8511m), to name but a few. The Renjo Pass
route is off the usual beaten track. At the pass, a great view
of the Gokyo lakes on one side, the Rermo Pokhari lakes on the
other side, and a myriad of snowy peaks in the background
provides this incredible atmosphere. The alternative route is
much easier. From Gokyo, the trail descends along the opposite
bank of the Dudh Kosi. |
