Overview

GUIDED EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK WITH CHO LA AND RENJO LA PASS

Everest Renjo La and Cho La Pass Trekking is a very popular trekking destination for trekkers who want to adventure high passes in the World. It offers magnificent views of the highest mountains including Mt. Everest mountains. We will closely observe ancient Sherpa settlements, Sherpa Culture and Buddhist religion.  Everest is also home to such wild animals as musk deer, Himalayan Thar, and Nepal’s national bird Pheasant on the way. Renjo La and Cho La Pass Trekking begin with a dramatic scenic flight to Lukla and the trek starts downhill to the Dudh Koshi River passing through many local villages en route.

This trek will take us to the best viewpoint of Kala Patthar (5,545m) from where you can see more than 30 of the highest mountains along with Mt. Everest, Everest Base Camp, and the snowy glacier. In addition, you can also visit the Buddhist Monasteries, explore hidden Yeti legends, meet the friendly Sherpa people and observe rare Himalayan flora and fauna. This trek has breathtaking mountain scenery as it trails through sherpa’s villages, rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and summer pastures for yak grazing–before moving into the stark landscape of glaciers and ice. On the way, we get a chance to visit monasteries in the heart of Sherpa country, where you can observe the monk's daily prayers. You’ll also hike to the Khumbu glacier to visit the iconic Everest Base Camp, where climbers following the steps of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay prepared for their summit attempts.
