Everest Sacred Gokyo Lakes & Renjo La Lodge Pass Trek
Nepal Himalaya Trek

Our Everest Gokyo Lakes & Renjo La Pass Trek in Nepal is a spectacular lodge to lodge trek through some of the most breathtakingly beautiful landscapes in the Nepal Himalaya, with the world’s highest 8000 meter peaks soaring majestically far over head! The sacred, turquoise Gokyo Lakes are breathtakingly beautiful, Gokyo Ri (5360m) and the Renjo La (5415m) offer perhaps the best Everest panoramas in this sublime region, and the Gokyo, Phortse and Thame valleys are the Everest region’s least trekked valleys.

The sacred, turquoise Gokyo Lakes valley, where colorful prayer flags flutter at the top of Gokyo Ri (5360m), is the Khumbu’s ‘hidden valley’, with many secrets to reveal. The trek through the traditional Thame valley offer more incredible Himalayan views, rare bird and wildlife sightings, as well as some of the Khumbu’s most traditional Sherpa villages. Traditional Phortse village and colorful market at Namche Bazaar is another highlight of this incredible Himalayan journey.

Our Everest treks are led by qualified, local Sherpa guides who love the Himalaya and have called the Khumbu region home for centuries. With their local knowledge and English, they help to provide an enriching and safe experience in the mountains. Our Everest treks, hosted by Sherpas in their wonderful lodges, are windows into traditional Sherpa villages, their Tibetan Buddhist gompas (monasteries), their mountain culture and the Khumbu Sherpas’ sacred peaks and valleys. Renown for the highest Himalayan peaks in the world, the Everest region is incredibly spiritual, and you will have the chance to visit its many colorful Buddhist gompas, and to chat with the monks of Namche, Khumjung, Khunde and Thame Gompas.

Why Trek in the Everest Region with Kamzang Journeys?
Kamzang Journeys has perhaps the safest acclimatization schedule in the Khumbu, with very qualified, knowledgeable and extremely friendly Sherpa guides leading your trip along with the experienced Kamzang Journeys team. Our Everest treks focuses on cultural immersion as well as Himalayan peaks, and we often visit Sherpa houses for a cup of ‘chang’ or salt butter tea! Your guide carries a small medical kit, and we provide ecologically friendly filtered water using western gravity filters.

Kim, Lhakpa, and the Kamzang Journeys Team have 20+ years of trekking experience in the Everest (Solu Khumbu) region. Kim first trekked in the Everest region in the 90s, later teaching English in the Everest region. Lhakpa Sherpa (Khumbu Adventures) comes from Thame, his wife Doma’s family is from Pangboche, and their relatives own many of the lodges in the Khumbu. We have numerous Sherpa friends and contacts in the region, lots of invaluable support throughout the Everest trek! Our staff all come from the Solu Khumbu region, along the Jiri to Lukla trail, now known as the Hillary & Norgay Everest Trek, near the wonderful Pikey Peak. Inquire if you’d like to hear more about this route; we have extensions on the way up or down to visit this beautiful and cultural part of the Solu Khumbu region, and climb an easy 4065m peak …
