Everest Base Camp and Renjo-La Pass Trek
The trek commences with an early flight from Kathmandu to the air strip at Lukla in the heart of the Khumbu Region, the rest of the day is an easy one of around three hours to our first overnight at Phakding. We continue north up the Dudh Kosi valley to Namche Bazaar, Namche was once a small village but is now the major trading hub of the region. From Namche the trail follows the Imja Khola, on route there are some spectacular views of the Khumbu Himal, Thamserku and Kantega with Amadablam in the distance, dominating the skyline ahead are Everest and Lhotse. The trail ascends, climbing gradually up the Imja Khola eventually emerging above the tree line before Dingboche. Dingboche to Kalapatthar takes a further two days via the lateral moraine of the Everest glacier for a truly "hands on" experience of Mt. Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse which tower above.
From Everest Base Camp we retrace to Lobuche and head out westward to Gokyo Lake region via Cho-Lla Pass. Gokyo Lake is located immediately west of the Khumbu valley, it is much less traveled or developed than the main trail. The Gokyo valley is dominated at its head by the massive and almost over baring form of Cho-Oyu (8153 meters). From Gokyo we ascend to Gokyo Ri (two hours) for some spectacular views before heading out westward to Renjo-La pass. After crossing the Renjo pass we further trek to Thame village and eventually retrace to Lukla via the main trail.
