Renjo La Pass Trek and EBC

Our office staff will meet you at the Tribhuvan International Airport and transport you to your hotel. Our company's tour manager will visit your accommodation to give you a brief overview of the expedition. You will spend the night in a hotel in Thamel.

After breakfast, our tour guide will take you on a full-day sightseeing tour of Kathmandu's historical monuments. Swayambhunath (monkey temple), Boudhanath, Patan durbar square, and Pashupatinath (largest Hindu temple) are among the sites. You will stay overnight at the same hotel.

Today we will fly to Lukla early in the morning and then trek to Phakding. The flight will provide good views of the eastern Himalayas with a panoramic view of around 200 kilometers. After the flight, we will take a walk among the green vegetation and plants of the Sherpa communities. We will stay at teahouse/lodge for the night.

We will cross multiple bridges on the Dudhkoshi River via Jorsalle today. Then we will climb steeply up to Namche Bazaar with views of Everest along the way through pine forests and alpine flowers. After a difficult hike we will arrive in the touristy village of Namche Bazaar. There are food shops, bakeries, equipment shops, email service, money exchange and the Chrokang Museum in Namche Bazaar.  We will stay overnight at Namche Bazaar in lodge. 

We will use this day to rest our body to acclimatize to the surrounding as well as to explore around Namche bazaar. We will visit places like Khumjung and Thomo today. Then we will return back to the same lodge for the night.

After our breakfast, we will travel west down to the Bhote Koshi’s Thame valley. It is located at a critical crossroads on the former principal trade route from Tibet to China via the Nagpala Pass. We will stay at lodge in Thame for the night.

The journey from Thame to Gokyo is too long to complete in one day, most trekkers make an intermediate break in Lungden. The trek is very easy because the altitude is gradually gained and there are no particularly steep parts along the way. The landscape is unlike anything we've ever seen before. The trail ascends above the tree line, revealing large sections of dry and barren ground with distant white peaks.  It looks same like a desert. Lungden is only about various lodges, not a true settlement. Yet it is charming and a good starting point for climbing the Renjo La pass.

Renjo La is a high pass which connects the Thame and Gokyo valleys. It also provides some of the most spectacular views in the Everest region. Lungden to Gokyo is regarded as one of the finest treks because we need to cross Renjo La Pass on the route. It offers magnificent views of the Rolwaling Himal and the Tibetan border. We can also see the entire Everest range from Gokyo. 

Today is the day to go and explore various places of Gokyo valley. Early in the morning, we will walk up to Gokyo ri (5357m) for 360-degree views of Everest and Makalu. We will then return to Gokyo late in the morning and explore the fifth lake and Nagjumba Glacier during day time.

Today we will leave Gokyo and then continue down the same way to the third lake. We will head towards the east over the glacier and walk a short distance to reach Thangna.

This will be the most difficult day of the trek, starting early in the morning with a packed lunch and continuing uphill with stones and steep climbs to the pass. We will need to pass through ice and sometimes deep snow to reach Dzongla.

We will trek towards southeast and northeast today. On the way, we can see Pheriche and Dhugla on the right-hand side while heading towards south. We also can see a good view of the surrounding mountains. After that, we will walk along the Khumbu valley to reach Lobuche.

Today we will walk along the Khumbu Glacier in the Khumbu Valley to reach our destination Gorakshep. We will also walk along the glacier as well as spend some time on the glacier while enhancing its beauty. It will be hard catching breathes today. We will stop a while at Everest Base Camp (EBC) before returning to Gorakshep for the night.

Early in the morning, we will get up and hike up to Kalapathar to watch the sun rise. We will be able to watch the views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Pumori and Khumbutse. We also will be able to see the stunning views of the Khumbu Glacier. After that we will return to the lodge and hike to Dingboche through Dhugla. We will stay for the night at Dingboche.

Today will be our rest day as well as short hike at Dingboche after a continuous tough trek for several days. After our breakfast, we will begin the hike with only a daypack. We will gradually ascend towards Chhukung (4700m) and will face a difficult climb to Chhukung ri for 360-degree beautiful view of the Himalayas. After that we will descend to Dingboche for the night.

Today on our way to trek, we will slow down to Diebuche via Panoche, leaving 360-degree views of the high Himalayan peaks behind and climb to Tengboche monastery. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. There is a belief that we can go and visit there for our own self-purification. The first Gompa was established in 1916 but it was destroyed in 1934 by an earthquake. In 1989, disaster struck once more when the replacement structure was destroyed by fire. After visiting monastery, we will head towards tea house and stay there overnight.

We can see an excellent view of Mt Everest in the early morning from Tengboche. Today, we will travel along the river from Tengboche to Namche, passing through pine and rhododendron trees. As we retrace our ways, we will be able to enjoy snowcapped mountains. We will stay at Namche Bazaar for the night in a Lodge.

Our trail to Lukla descends steeply, we must go with caution as our wobbly legs battle the rocky terrain. The route becomes more natural and level after passing the suspension bridges over the fast-flowing Dudhkoshi and its tributaries. After arriving in Lukla, we will stretch our tired legs and reminisce over the previous few weeks of our journey.

After a hard mountain climb, we will catch an early morning flight to Kathmandu from Lukla. You will get transferred to your hotel after arriving at Kathmandu. 

You will have a free day in Kathmandu today to relax or shop, so you can plan your own activities or confer with the company to organize extra activities.

After breakfast, we will conclude our services with a transfer to the Kathmandu airport where you will join your journey to your home.
