Highlights

Overview

If you have enough time and love some adrenalin rush, you should book with Roving Nepal Trek for Gokyo with Renjola Pass along the way. This is one of the toughest yet fascinating treks in Nepal. Gokyo Renjola pass lies in the Solukhumbu district and is less trailed.

As a result of that, you will get to see the best form of trails along with very less crowds. Trekking alone to unknown territories can be tough, therefore Roving Nepal Trek comes with a beautifully detailed itinerary package too.

Overview of Gokyo Renjola Pass

This 14-day Gokyo Renjola pass is more suitable if you do anti-clockwise. One of the brilliant aspects of this trek is Renjo La Pass which is present at an altitude of 5380m.

As autumn and spring are the best season to do the trek, you have an opportunity to embrace the Sagarmatha National Park region.

From exploring the soaring mountains to walking fairly new trails, you can also experience Sherpa culture and heritage along the way. The journey with Roving Nepal Trek is worth all the hype.

Best Time To Do Gokyo Renjola Pass Trek

Similar to plenty of trekking options at Roving Nepal Trek, the Gokyo Renjola Pass trek is also famous during the spring and autumn seasons. The spring season runs from March to May while the autumn remains from mid-September to November.

Specifically, autumn must be your perfect selection. Due to the beautiful weather and also the festive season, you will get a brilliant reception. During those seasons, the weather remains dry and you get picturesque views.

Trekkers will have to pass above 5000m altitude in a pass so doing this trek during winter and monsoon could be risky even with life. Another advantage to doing this trek in autumn is the ability to attend the Mani Rimdu festival in the Everest region.

Difficulty of Gokyo Renjola Pass Trek

Any trekking adventure that goes beyond double digits in the itinerary can be difficult. Every day the trekker will have to trek for more than 5 hours. In an unknown territory with fewer crowds, it can be daunting for many. In the end, we will be almost touching 5500m which isn't an easy task.

There could be chances of altitude sickness, poor recovery, injury, and fatigue. However, if you have minimum experience of trekking you can do this trek.

The Gokyo Renjola Pass trek is termed to be a moderate trek. You will need to be fit and have the ability to trek for 14 days 5 hours minimum every day.

Issues of Lukla flight during prime seasons

There are two sides to any trek in Nepal. Autumn and spring are the best season for the trek however there is one main way to get into the Everest region.

It is a direct flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. But during the peak season, the airport gets jam-packed and it is hard to find the right flight for the trek.

Not only that there are major chances of flights getting cancelled which creates major issues. To solve this problem, we also have a flight to Manthali airport in Ramechhap which later goes to Lukla.

However, you can drive to Salleri and start your journey from there but it will take a lot of time and patience which isn't an answer. So we suggest the readers book early from Roving Nepal Trek and save all the hassle.

Permits Required to Do Gokyo Renjola Pass Trek

Similar to all the Everest region trek Gokyo Renjola Pass trek also moves around on basic permits.

The first one will be the Tourist Information Management System (TIMS) card. Along with that, you will also need to have a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit. These two permits will allow you easier access to the Everest region.

Food and Accommodations during the trip

Similar to a lot of other treks like EBC, and EBC heli tour, you will get basic facilities during this trek. A journey of 14 days will move around the teahouse and guest houses along the way.

From solar facilities to ports for mobile and electronic device charging and a heater in the center of the tea house, you will get all the basic facilities. Twin bedroom, cover, pillow, and resting area for trekkers are some of the available facilities.

Meanwhile, with food you will find is the Nepalese staple dish. From Dal, Bhaat, Dhido, Thakali, and Momo to basic Western food you will find everything that will keep you healthy along the 14-day journey.

Cost and Booking Process for Gokyo Renjola Pass Trek

Likewise, if you believe in sharing the rooms, food, and cost, you will have to pay much less. Therefore the actual cost of the Gokyo Renjola Pass trek is hard to determine.
