A comfort trek to the high pasture Gokyo in Khumbu Himal (Everest Region) with its fascinating lakes. Crossing the high pass Renjo La (5400 m), with possibility to climb the view point Gokyo Ri (5357 m). From there we can see four (8000 m) peaks: Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu among many 7000 and 6000er peaks. Un-doubly one of the most spectacular Himalayan view.

We hike on mostly easy and broad trail. At some places there can be snow (means: it can be slippery) and sometimes can be steep as well. One important aspect is definitely the high altitude. The highest overnight stay will be at around (4750 m) above sea level and the Renjo La (La means pass) has an extreme altitude of (5400 m). High altitude trek is our daily business and we plan the itinerary according to our long experience and by considering the knowledge in altitude medicine.

You just carry your personal needs during the day like jacket, camera and flask. Our experienced and friendly Nepali staff will take care of everything to make it an unforgettable and relaxing journey.We have included most important things like main meals. Combined with our comfortable hotel in Kathmandu, domestic air transportation etc. you will truly relax and enjoy this trip.

If the weather is clear we can get a first glimpse of Everest short before reaching Namche. Towering Kongde Ri opposite the deep valley is our neighbor today.

Day 5
We allow our body to adapt properly to the altitude. That´s why we stay in Namche again. During the day we hike a bit higher to support the acclimatization. There are some possibilities around, for example to Khunde where we´ll have better view of Everest, Lhotse, but also beautiful Ama Dablam.

Day 6
We continue our trek to Thame (3825 m), where we can visit a colorful monastery. The Mountain View is just fantastic. In the east you´ll see –just to mention some of them- Kongde Ri, Tamserku, Kangtega and Khusum Kangguru. In the west the wild Rolwaling Himal.
