Everest region has always been a milestone for the trek and nature lovers. From the high mountain peaks to the deep white gorges to the alpine forests, everything in this area is a work of nature. With the mystic eastern Himalayas accompanying you Renjo La via Nangpa La Trek will take you to the heart of the Khumbu region. With the local cultural Sherpa villages, to the picturesque view of the Himalayas to the pristine Gokyo Lake, the amount of ecstasy that one may get from this trip is remarkable.

Keeping the beauty aside, the difficulty level is nothing to smirk at. The high passes have altitude of 5,360 for Renjo La and 5,806m for Nangpa La. Novice trekkers are not recommended to take this arduous task. Altitude sickness is one thing that must be carefully addressed as it is prominent in higher altitudes. High passes are rather hard to conquer so we recommend prior trekking experience. Similarly, the trails are rocky and hardly plain which may provide further challenge.
