The eminence of this trek is that it gives you the feeling of pride to step on Gokyo Peak and offer you to experience and enjoy many amazing sceneries with clear views of Everest (8848m), Makalu, Cho Oyo (8153m) and Lhotse (8511m) etc. It also has an optional route through Renjo Pass of less traffic.
This short route to Renjo-La via Gokyo Ri enables trekkers with limited time to discover the most famous beautiful scenarios of Nepal. It is set amongst breath-taking high mountain scenery on the route leading through Khumbu Region.
