Introduction:
I Love Trekking Nepal offers a grand trekking adventure to Gokyo and traverses the high alpine pass of Renjo-la. The adventure begins with a sweeping flight to Lukla, a popular village-town, which provides a fascinating contrast to the high mountain landscapes. From Lukla the trek begins slowly towards Phakding on the first day and quiet overnight stop, Next day then, the route leads upward to Namche Bazaar.
This trekking offers ample time to rest before following the trail to Gokyo and to Renjo-la, which is seldom trekked by westerners, visit Khumjung village in the high valley and also the ancient Buddhist monastery.
The trek leads towards Thame and Khumjung, a sleepy village, offering tremendous scenery of Khangtiaga, Thermasarkhu and the Nuptse-Lhotse wall with Mt. Everest rearing above. At Khumjung, camp below the sacred Khumbila peak, home of the patron God of the Khumbu, before making your way through lovely forests towards Gokyo and Cho-la and to the viewpoints of Gokyo-Ri and Kalapathar, the highlights of the adventure. The views are magnificent throughout of snow capped mountain ranges.
The Everest region is one of the most popular and spectacular destinations for trekkers and it offer some of the most fascinating and enjoyable trekking, with beautiful views of the highest snow capped peaks of the world. The highest spot Gokyo Ri, at 5,357 meters and Kalapathar have breathtaking views of a panorama of peaks and their glaciers including Mt. Everest.
