This carefully crafted trek takes you beyond the classic trails, guiding you to the stunning Gokyo Lakes, across the breathtaking Renjo La Pass, and through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the Himalayas.

Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, where our team will welcome you and prepare you for the trek ahead. A scenic flight to Lukla brings you to the Khumbu region, where you’ll start walking through charming Sherpa villages, past prayer-flag-draped bridges, and alongside rushing rivers.

As you climb higher, the air grows crisper, and the views become more spectacular. Namche Bazaar, the lively gateway to the Everest region, offers your first clear sight of the towering peaks. A well-paced acclimatization day helps your body adjust while rewarding you with breathtaking views from Hotel Everest View.

The trail then leads you through peaceful rhododendron forests and alpine meadows toward the jewel-like Gokyo Lakes. These shimmering turquoise waters, set against a backdrop of snow-capped giants, create a scene of pure serenity.

A sunrise hike up Gokyo Ri rewards you with one of the finest panoramic views in the Himalayas: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu standing tall above the valleys.

Crossing the high-altitude Renjo La Pass is a highlight, offering sweeping vistas of the Everest range and the sprawling Ngozumpa Glacier below. From there, the descent takes you through quiet valleys and back to Namche, where you can reflect on your journey.

When you get back to Kathmandu with a flight from Lukla, you’ll have time to explore the city’s ancient temples and bustling markets before bidding farewell to Nepal, carrying memories of majestic peaks, glacial lakes and vibrant cities and villages.

This trek is a chance to disconnect, breathe in the crisp Himalayan air, and witness some awe-inspiring landscapes.
