Renjo La Pass
रेन्जो ला
A pass at 5,360 metres. The view from it, looking down on Gokyo Lakes and the peaks of the Everest region, is considered one of the finest in the Khumbu.
Renjo La Pass lies west of Gokyo Lake and links Gokyo with Lungden and Thame. It marks the western end of the three-pass loop. From Gokyo the climb to the top takes about 2 to 3 hours. Looking back, you can see the emerald Gokyo Lakes and the Ngozumpa Glacier, and Everest, Lhotse and Makalu line up in a row. Many trekkers rate this as the best view of the whole trek. The descent to Lungden takes about 3 hours. The route sees few visitors and has limited facilities, so a guide is required.
