Trip Introduction

Gokyo Lake Trek via Renjo La Pass is an ideal adventure for those trekkers who are willing to sacrifice the valuable experience of Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar for a more varied and quieter experience. In this trek, you will see the lovely villages of the High land, unique lifestyle, mesmerizing lakes, and walk past enchanted forests abounding with wildlife, as well as panoramic views of Mount Everest from Gokyo Ri. Some of the major highlights of this trek are lovely settlements and villages in the mountains with local activities as well as strong faith cultures and a vast assortment of natural landscapes, from open fields to rhododendron forests.

The Gokyo Lake Trek starts at Lukla with an amazing flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport from Kathmandu which is a treasure on its own with unforgettable views. Once in the wonderful Lukla which is a prosperous village in the heart of the mountain, the trekking experience will begin. Along the route, you will witness unrivaled best views of the surrounding peaks like Mt Everest, Mt Thamserku, and the Kwangde Peak and also visit the renowned Monastery of Tengboche. It is an ideal trek for trekkers who prefer relatively quiet trails and have limited time to explore this area of Nepal.
