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

The cost for the Gokyo Renjola Pass trek differs from time to time. If you book a flight on the peak hours with the most luxurious facilities the cost will surely rise.

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.

However, if you are looking for a process to book for the Gokyo Renjola Pass trek, all you have to do is contact Roving Nepal Trek through the website, social media, or contact number and we will take it from there.

An Unforgettable Journey to Everest Base Camp 難忘的EBC之旅

I traveled the Everest Base Camp (EBC) route in March 2023 with Basu, the guide from Roving Nepal Trek. Even six months later, the journey remains unforgettable and worth recommending to fellow travelers on TripAdvisor. 我在2023年3月,跟著Roving Nepal Trek的導遊Basu遊歷EBC路線,半年之後,旅程依然難忘,也值得我在Tripadvicor推介這位導遊的團隊。 【Outstanding Comprehensive Service 基本服務齊全無缺】 When hiring a guide, what we truly appreciate is the ease of having someone organize the itinerary, and transportation, manage the essential details, and handle administrative procedures along the way. Basu provided all of this and more. Prior to our departure, he promptly answered our inquiries on WhatsApp, ranging from entry requirements to equipment advice. Basu's fluent English ensured smooth communication, and he efficiently arranged accommodations and transportation for our group throughout the journey, leaving no room for mishaps. 聘請導遊,最簡單直接的當然是貪圖有人為我們遊客安排行程、交通、打點途中特別要注意的事項和行政程序,Basu可以讓我們放心,在出發前他已經在whatsapp解答我們的大小問題,例如入境和裝備,Basu英語流利,溝通沒有障礙,沿途正確地為我們一行人安排住宿和交通,沒有缺漏。 【Adaptability in Itinerary 行程應變妥善】 Basu's adaptability deserves recognition. Initially, our itinerary included a side trip to Gokyo Lake in addition to EBC. Unfortunately, we encountered a snowstorm at the Cho La Pass, a critical point on the route. Basu had been monitoring the weather, coordinating with other guides, and ultimately decided it was unsafe to proceed, avoiding potential danger. 也值得一讚Basu的應變,本來我們的行程除了EBC之外,還加遊Gokyo湖,但不巧途中必經的Cho la隘口適逢暴雪,導遊預早監察天氣,也和其他團隊的導遊保持聯繫,最後確認不宜前往,免於危險。 Here's an amusing anecdote: In the high-altitude haze, I accidentally took a room key from one of the lodges after checking out, only realizing it two hours into our trek. My initial panic quickly turned into despair at the thought of having to hike back. Basu simply reassured me, "It's OK." He suggested that if we met any returning groups, he could ask their guides to return the key. 也分享一件小趣事,不知是否人在高山,腦子迷糊,我,對了就是我,居然在一處旅店check out後拿走了他們的房間鎖匙!還要走了兩小時山路才發現!那時心下直發慌,該不會要我走回去吧?Basu就說了句"It's OK",只要遇上逆走的團隊,拜託他們導遊帶回去就好了。 His ability to handle both major and minor challenges is a testament to his quality as a guide. 大小事都有能力應變,也是導遊的品質。 【Attentive Care for Altitude Sickness 細心處理高山症狀】 During the journey, I struggled with symptoms of altitude sickness, including severe asthma, persistent insomnia-induced fatigue, and occasional stomach discomfort. At times, I doubted whether I could complete the trip. It was essential to report these symptoms to our guide. Basu was quick to assess whether my symptoms were severe or just a regular reaction, offering suitable dietary recommendations. 在旅途中,我愈來優受高山症症狀困擾,最嚴重的除了氣喘,還有連續失眠帶來的疲倦,以及小小腹瀉,曾令我一度懷疑是否能完成行程。這時必須和導遊報備,他知道我的症狀是不是嚴重或只是正常反應,也提出合適的飲食建議。 【Acknowledging the Porters' Hard Work 不要忘記挑夫的辛勞】 In addition to our guide, our team hired two porters who carried our luggage along the way. These young men were not only remarkably strong, effortlessly lugging backpacks weighing over ten kilograms, but they also thoughtfully provided us with fresh fruit at every meal, ensuring top-notch service. 除了導遊之外,團隊還聘請兩位挑夫沿途為我們挑行李,都是俊美的年輕人,除了舉重若輕地背上十多公斤的行李袋,還每餐給我們預備水果,服務周到。 【In Conclusion 最後】 Throughout our journey, Basu, became a formidable Big 2 (a card game) player thanks to our group's collective efforts. If you ever visit Nepal, don't miss the chance to challenge him! 在旅途中,Basu被我們一眾隊友鍛鍊成撲克遊戲鋤大D(大老二)的高手,歡迎到尼泊爾挑戰他! Remember, this review is to highlight the great experience of having Basu as a guide, and I hope fellow travelers find this information valuable when considering their adventure to Everest Base Camp.
