Trip overview

Renjo La Pass Trek – 11 Days 

Renjo La Pass trek is famous as Gokyo lakes and close up view of Mount Everest, hike includes Fifth Lake and Gokyo Ri in 11 Days. It is a different experience in a lifetime as it offers adventure and wilderness throughout the trek.  Our agency has expert guides and a strong porters team. Moreover, our staff have more than 10 years of experience and are familiar with the Nepalese Himalayas.

The Gokyo Renjola Pass trek starts similarly to the Everest Base Camp Trek. However, it is different from Namche Bazaar. Trekkers take the route of Thame Village instead of the Tengboche route. Moreover, the route offers the best chance to witness the Sherpa villages. These villages are home to famous Everest Summiteers.  The Everest Three High Passes trek also follows the same itinerary as this trip. You can extend the trek to EBC as well. For example, some trekkers choose to cross the Chola Pass as well instead of Dole return. Therefore, you can have the option to extend the trip too.

From the top of Renjo La Pass ( 5340m, ) to Gokyo, you can get the best panoramic view of the mountains. Moreover, you can gaze at the tip of Mt. Makalu as well. Blue turquoise lakes and snow-clad mountains offer wilderness adventure experiences. Therefore, trekkers who want to get a mountain feel, as well as challenge themselves, opt for the trek.

General Information vital to this trek:

Best Season for Gokyo Renjola Pass trip:

Doing this trek/climb at the right time is very important to the success of a trip of this kind. Spring (March-May) and autumn (October-November) are really the best seasons to do this trek. The monsoon season (June - early September) has less predictable weather, but some trekkers still choose this time as it aligns better with their vacation schedule. Winter season (December - February) gets pretty cold, and snow may block the passes, but often offers clear skies. Nonetheless, we suggest our guests make bookings for this venture in the spring or autumn, especially in the autumn of September/October. The weather is at its best for this high-altitude trip. The views are crystal clear with sparkling blue skies & the finest weather you could ever imagine.

Difficulty on this odyssey

The Gokyo Renjola Pass trek is rated “Challenging”. It is a very arduous adventure given its high pass crossings. This venture is more challenging than its sibling treks Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes, but not as much challenging as trekking peaks such as Island Peak and Mera Peak. Nevertheless, doing this trip requires really good physical fitness & previous experience trekking above 4500m.

Accommodation & Meals

The Everest Region has admirable infrastructure for trekkers. The teahouses (lodges) are of relatively high quality and they serve good meals, especially in Namche Bazar which you’ll pass on the way up and down.

Will I need travel insurance?

It’s mandatory and highly recommended to get travel insurance before embarking on any adventurous trips in Nepal.

We advise all our clients to get travel insurance that covers up emergency helicopter evacuation that may be needed in case of the occurrence of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) or any other reasons in high altitudes where there are no other means of transportation available. It is advisable to review carefully the insurance and its coverage before making the final decision. Carry proof of your insurance with you on the holiday and leave a copy next to your kin. You must ensure that your insurance provides an adequate level of protection and covers you well for the activities involved.

FAQs

  • How difficult is the Renjo La Pass trek?

    The Renjo La Pass Trek is also known as the Gokyo lake Renjo La Trek or Gokyori via Renjo La Pass Trek or High Land of Everest Valley Trek. It is one of the hardest trips that Himalaya View Treks provides to its bold & brave trekkers and adventure-seekers. The journey is known to be a complete circle of high alpine country within the Everest Valley following the treacherous of Renjo La, before Gokyo Lake visit. The taxing trip is indeed a long walk in remote land, high up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere. For this adventurous trek, you must be very fit and highly experienced in the Himalayas.

  • When is the best time to do the Renjo La Pass Trek?

    Renjo La Pass Trek is best done in pre-monsoon season i.e. from March to May and post-monsoon season i.e. from late September to December. It is also possible to do this trek in February and early September but the trek is best preferred in early autumn. September/October would be ideal & wonderful.

  • Is my trip departure guaranteed?

    Absolutely yes! Under normal circumstances, our booked trips are guaranteed to run. You will still be doing your trek even if other trekkers cancel their trip. This is the reason why Himalaya View Treks is small but highly dependable; we’re somewhat different from other agencies, who usually cancel their whole trip a month or even a week before the trip date. We are a tailor-made outfit and the number of participants does not stop our operation. If your trip has been canceled by your operator and you are on a last-minute stress mode, remember to find us to sort out your trip decisions. Please feel free to book your stress-free holidays with us. Unless there is a situation which is beyond our control i.e. a political riot, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or weather catastrophes affecting one & all, our trips are 100% guaranteed to run.

  • If I cancel my trip, will I get a refund?

    Himalaya View Treks offers a lifetime deposit policy which allows you the flexibility to transfer your deposit to anyone or any other trip. If you wish to cancel your booked trips, certain cancelation charges apply. Please visit our booking terms and conditions for detailed information.

  • Who are my guides, are they experienced enough for such a trip?

    You will be guided by our experienced trek leaders who have been to the base camp and back multiple times for years. All our guides are locals who communicate very well in English and possess deep knowledge of the mountains, people, culture, health, hygiene, and most importantly, your safety. They give more priority to your life than their own. Our guides simply enjoy what they do; it’s their only means of survival.

  • Where will I sleep at nights for a high altitude trek like this?

    After a long day’s hike, a relaxing night of comfortable sleep is very much vital for the next day’s walk. Taking your comfort into account, we make sure to book the best lodge with two beds in each room and western toilet facilities wherever available. Normally, the beds are clean and comfortable with an electric blanket (upon availability) and attached bathrooms for most nights. The room’s temperature is usually maintained at 10-12°C / 50-54°F. We’ve learnt a long time ago on our ceaseless trips to the mountains that a comfortable night is so important to you enjoying the next day.

Great experience in Langtang with Sorbit and Ram Excellent experience on the Langtang Valley Trek guided Sorbit (Sofi) with Ram as our porter. Sorbit and Ram were very accommodating and made sure we had fun even on the days of the walk we found a bit more challenging. Sorbit had great energy, lots of funny stories and was really quick at spotting wildlife, so we got to see lots of monkeys and deer! Ram was such a legend for carrying our stuff, we could not have done this trek without their support. Langtang was a great mix of Forrest walking and mountain views, so would recommend for anyone looking for a week long trek.

Poon hill trek 🫶 I had an amazing time during my four day poon hill trek and want to thank my amazing guide Anil for being there with me!! 🫂🙏 If you have thought about trekking in Nepal but feel overwhelmed by the idea of that, don’t fear! With the careful planning and execution by the trekking company you don’t have anything to worry about. Everything was organised carefully and although it is sometimes challenging it’s also made comfortable to enjoy with the help of your guide. Anil was amazing at checking in making sure I was comfortable, organising all my meals and helping with overnight stays as well as offering me friendly company and laughs throughout and his extreme patience has not gone unnoticed. Thanks so much for looking after me on this trek, I had an amazing time on the mountain and felt inspired and grounded. I leave with a special place for this area in my heart. I feel like I learnt so much on my short time in the mountain ⛰️ Thank you Anil and thanks to the tour company for putting together such a special achievable first trek in this beautiful country 🇳🇵

EBC trek with female guide october 2025 My EBC trek was an amazing experience! Everything was very well organized, and my female guide Samikshya Bajagain took great care of me throughout the journey. Even when things didn’t go exactly as planned, she handled every situation very professionally and with a positive attitude. I always felt safe and supported. The company leader Simbir Ghale was always available and found a solution for everything. I highly recommend trekking with her and with the company — a truly great experience!

Mardi Himalaya Trek My husband John and myself cannot fault our trek to Mardi Himal with Guide/porter Suza. It was a Nepali Festival time and the track was very busy. Suza made sure we had comfortable lodgings by booking ahead. We never had to worry about not having somewhere to lay down and rest our tired legs!! He was easy company always around if we needed anything. He joined us playing cards in the evenings - winning too often! We had to change the schedule a bit due to unpredicted weather (rain) - no problem Suza ‘s experience and local knowledge made this easy too. Thanks Suza, we’re really happy to have had you as our guide and really enjoyed the trek.

I completed an unforgettable 11-day trek to Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp with Himalaya View Treks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The company was incredibly flexible and well-organized, tailoring the trip to our preferences and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Our guide Suraj kept us motivated and informed throughout, while our porter Anil was always cheerful and helpful — both were fantastic. Special thanks to Simbir for coordinating everything so efficiently and making the whole journey seamless. The stunning views, rich culture, and the team’s support made this adventure truly memorable. Highly recommended!

I planned a 12 days trek by myself but I was looking for a guide. 3 days before leaving to Nepal I have found the agency Himalaya View Treks. From the start the communication was open and easy. Everthing was taken care of only in a few days for everthing to be ready when I arrived. I met my guide in Pokhara. We had beautiful moments together. I really recommand to trek with *Bishal Kulung Rai*. I felt very confortable with him. We had really nice talks but he knew also when to give me the time alone that I was looking for during this trek. He was very supportive, helpful and flexible regarding my requests. In overall, it was a perfect experience ! 🙏🏻💜🏔️🇳🇵
