Plan for an evening briefing on last minute details regarding your trek. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.
Lukla is the gateway to the Everest region. In the morning, you will drive by private vehicle to Kathmandu Domestic Airport to take a flight to Lukla, which lasts approximately 40 minutes. During December, January, February, June, July, and August, you can fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla.
However, during the peak trek seasons of March, April, May, October, and November, flights to Lukla may operate from Ramechhap/Manthali instead of Kathmandu due to increased traffic congestion. To catch a flight from Ramechhap, you must leave Kathmandu and head to Manthali around 12:30 a.m. on your scheduled departure date, as the drive takes approximately five (5) hours. The flight from Ramechhap to Lukla takes approximately 20 minutes.
We recommend adding an extra day at the start of your trip to avoid an early morning wake-up, especially after a long international flight during peak season. Arriving in Kathmandu one day earlier will allow you to relax. The following day, you can take a bus from Kathmandu to Ramechhap/Manthali, which takes about 5-6 hours, or opt for a private vehicle for a shorter travel time but at a higher cost. This option would require an overnight stay at a hotel in Manthali, adding one extra day to your itinerary.
To avoid the Kathmandu-Manthali-Lukla route, you can charter a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla for approximately 550 USD per person when shared among five passengers.
Lukla is situated beneath the Naulekh Himal (6240m) and Kongde Ri (6187m). It is a Sherpa town with a small airstrip called Tenzing-Hillary Airport, named after the late conqueror of Mt. Everest. From Lukla, we will embark on our trek along a gentle, gradual path, passing through charming Sherpa villages. Our journey will first take us to Chheplung (2660 meters), followed by a crossing of the Thado Koshi River (2540 meters) via a suspension bridge. From the bridge, we will enjoy impressive views of Mt. Kusum Kanguru (6367m). We will continue to the Buddhist village of Ghat before reaching our overnight stop at Phakding (2640m), located near the Dudh Kosi River. The trek will take approximately 3 to 4 hours, covering 6.2 kilometers.
We begin our trek along the northern banks of the Dudh Koshi River, crossing several suspension bridges along the way. The trail takes us through Toc Toc, Benker, Chumoa, and Monjo. We will reach the Sagarmatha National Park Check Post, Jorsalle Village, and the Hillary Suspension Bridge as we hike. This impressive double suspension bridge, often called the “Windy Bridge,” hangs at a dizzying height above the Dudh Kosi River, marking the point where the “real mountains” begin.
If you're interested in an adrenaline rush, you can opt to go bungy jumping from the Lower Hillary Bridge, though this will be at your own expense as it's not included in our program.
After crossing the bridge, we ascend through a thick, dense forest. From this forest, you'll get your first glimpse of Mt. Everest. However, we will push further to reach Namche Bazaar, a renowned Sherpa town often referred to as the capital of the Sherpa people. We will stay overnight at a hotel in Namche Bazaar.
This is our scheduled Acclimatization Day 1. Acclimatization does not mean a complete rest day; instead, it involves spending two consecutive nights at the same altitude while hiking to a higher altitude during the day. However, we have made a slight modification to this plan. Instead of spending two nights in Namche, we will descend to Khumjung Village, which is slightly higher than Namche.
Khumjung Village is a charming Sherpa settlement with unique cultural and natural attractions. During the day, we will hike to the Everest View Hotel via Syangboche Airport, where we can enjoy stunning views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6608m), Kangtega (6979m), Mount Kusum Khangaru (6367m), Kongde (6011m), Tawoche Peak (6367m), Cholatse (6335m), Imja Tse (Island Peak) (6179m), and Khumbila, also known as the God of Khumbu (5761 m). We will spend the night at a teahouse in Khumjung village.
The trail to Dole consists of many uphill and downhills. We ascend to Mong La Pass (3973m) before reaching Phortse Thenga. After Phortse, you will pass through pine forests full of fascinating floras and faunas. As you trek forward, views of Ama Dablam (6856m) and Khumbila (5761m) (God of the Khumbu) emerge. Then we ascend to reach Dole. Overnight at a tea house in Dole.
We will pass several trailside shrines and many prayer flags until we reach Lapahrma. From Lapahrma, we'll have an incredible view of Mount Cho Oyu (8201m), the world's fifth-highest mountain, and the captivating sights of Kantega (6685 m) and Thamserku (6608 m). Along the way, you will encounter beautiful meadows with grazing yaks in the right season. The trail leads through Luja Valley to the charming village of Machhermo, where you'll spend the night at a tea house.
The trail from Machhermo to Phanga (4457m) is rather steep, so take your time and walk at a slower pace. Phanga features a memorial dedicated to those who died in the landslides. As we progress, you will encounter an iron bridge leading to Longpongo Tso (4690m) Lake and the second lake, Taujung Tso (4728m). We will continue navigating through the rugged Ngozumpa Glacier moraines, which can be challenging, especially if they are covered by fresh snow, making the trail slippery. Soon, you will witness a series of Gokyo lakes with unparalleled beauty. The vibrant colors of the lakes against the backdrop of the Himalayas are indescribable. We will spend the night at Gokyo Village, a natural treasure with its stunning blend of mountains, glaciers, and lakes. Overnight at a tea house in Gokyo village.
Acclimatization day involves spending two consecutive nights at the same altitude while hiking to a higher altitude during the day. We will hike to Gokyo Ri (5357m) early in the morning for 360-degree Himalayan views. The climb to the summit takes about 2 hours, and the descent takes 1.5 hours. Because of the high altitude, the 1.5 km distance must be hiked slowly, but you cannot walk faster due to the thin air. The view from Gokyo Ri is unquestionably stunning. It includes Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Nuptse (7861m), Pumori (7165m), Changtse (7550m), Lingtren (6749m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6608m), Kantega (6685m), Kusum Khangaru (6367m), Kongde (6011m), Khumbila (5761m) (God of the Khumbu), Tawoche (6367m), Cholatse (6335m), Imja Tse (Island Peak) (6179m), and many others. Unlike the Everest Base Camp Trek from Gokyo Ri, you can simultaneously witness the mighty Himalayas, beautiful turquoise lakes, and glaciers. Today’s total distance is a 3 km round trip to Gokyo Ri, which takes about 3-4 hours.
After returning to Gokyo Village, you can rest, explore the town, or visit the beautiful Gokyo Lakes, including the Fifth Lake and Ngozumpa Glacier. Overnight at a tea house in Gokyo village.
Today, we will wake up early. The route leads down to a secluded northern valley reminiscent of the Tibetan plateau. The trails gradually ascend towards the summit of challenging Renjo La Pass via a steep, rugged, and windy trail. The summit of the pass provides stunning 360-degree mountain views including Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8485m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6608m), Kantega (6685m), Kusum Khangaru (6367m), Tawoche (6367m), and Cholatse (6335m). Further, the trail drops down to Lungden, where you will spend the night.
The trail is relatively easy, with primarily gradual descents. We follow the path on the east side of the river and pass several small old-walled Sherpa villages showcasing their unique culture. After Marulung, we cross the bridge over the Bhote Koshi River to reach Taranga, Hungmo, and Thametang. Continuing the hike downhill, we arrive at Thame. This small village has an old monastery you can visit for evening prayers. Later, you can explore the valley and view the stunning scenes of Teng Kangpoche (6500m) and Kwangde Ri (Kongde Ri) (6011m). Overnight at a tea house in Thame village.
The trail primarily descends; however, there are some ups and downs along parts of the trek. In between, we pass several Sherpa settlements, including Samde, Thamo, Theso, and the alpine forest, before arriving at Namche Bazaar. From Namche, the trail continues descending to Manjo via Hilary Bridge and Jorsalle. We will spend the night at a tea house in Manjo village.
The trek follows the main Everest Base Camp route, passing through Chumoa, crossing the Dudh Kosi River, and reaching Lukla, the Khumbu Valley's domestic airport. Overnight stay at a teahouse in Lukla.
However, during peak season, flights usually go to Ramechhap Airport in Manthali instead. The flight time from Lukla to Kathmandu is approximately 40 minutes, while the flight to Manthali takes about 20 minutes. The drive from Manthali to Kathmandu takes 5 to 6 hours by private vehicle and 6 to 7 hours by bus. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.
If you are not interested, it can be removed from the itinerary and those shortening that program by one day.
After breakfast, join our tour guide to explore Kathmandu Valley’s cultural and historical UNESCO World Heritage sites. We’ll begin at Boudhanath, home to the impressive Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist shrines in the world, where you can witness Buddhist monks in prayer. Next, we’ll visit Pashupatinath, Nepal’s most revered Hindu temple, along the sacred Bagmati River. At this site, you will see Hindu holy men (sadhus) meditating, pilgrims bathing in the river, and occasionally, funeral pyres burning on the ghats, highlighting the blend of spirituality and tradition. Our journey continues to Kathmandu Durbar Square, where you’ll marvel at the temple of Goddess Kumari and learn about the captivating legends of the valley. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.
Our airport representative will drop you off at Kathmandu International Airport for your outward journey.

Cost of packages for the Everest Region.
The cost of trekking packages in the Everest Region varies based on several factors, including trek duration, the number of trekkers, whether the trip is private or on a group basis and whether you choose a budget or luxury experience, the season, porter service requirements, but guides are an integral part of this trek. The modes of transportation and types of accommodation also vary. The Everest Region has several accommodation facilities: Tea Houses, Guest Houses, and Hotels. All the rooms have twin-sharing arrangements during the journey, so you must share them with other trekkers. You may, however, reserve a separate room, but it will be more expensive. Prices for these treks generally range from 1450 USD to 2000 USD for the Everest View Trek and 1900 USD to 3000 USD for the Everest Base Camp Trek per person (based on a single person) and higher for longer treks. For luxury packages, the price could be double. Also, the larger your group, the lower the per-person cost, as some costs could be shared, like transportation by private vehicle or accommodation.
TMT specializes in all-inclusive trekking packages from Kathmandu, some with heritage sightseeing tours. Depending on accommodation, these packages can be budget-friendly adventures or luxurious getaways. We can also provide individually tailored packages to match your interests and preferences.

The cost of these all-inclusive packages typically includes transportation from and to the international airport from your hotel, accommodation at the hotels in Kathmandu and in local lodges or guesthouses, meals (except lunch and dinner in Kathmandu), and the services of a licensed trekking guide and porter. We also include the cost of all necessary permits, such as the Sagarmatha National Park Permit, the Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit, the Trekking Permit (TIMS), and all the applicable local taxes. Please refer to the Included/Excluded Services and Items section for details.

The Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek is considered a challenging high-altitude trek suitable for trekkers with a good level of fitness and previous hiking experience. The trail includes steep ascents, rocky paths, long walking days, and crossing the high Renjo La Pass above 5,400 meters. Although technical climbing skills are not required, preparation with regular exercise, hiking practice, and endurance training is highly recommended. Trail Mania Trekking provides experienced guides who support trekkers throughout the journey and help manage altitude, pace, and safety during the trek.
The best seasons for the Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November).

Trail Mania Trekking carefully designs the itinerary with acclimatization days to reduce altitude risks and improve the overall trekking experience.
The Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek offers numerous natural and cultural highlights throughout the journey.

Trail Mania Trekking ensures that travelers have enough time to enjoy these unforgettable experiences.
Previous trekking experience is highly beneficial but not absolutely mandatory for the Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek. However, trekkers should be physically prepared because the route involves walking at high altitudes for several consecutive days. Experience with multi-day hikes, uphill walking, and carrying a backpack can make the journey easier and more enjoyable. Beginners with strong fitness levels can also complete this trek with proper preparation and guidance. Trail Mania Trekking provides professional trekking support, including experienced guides who assist trekkers throughout the route.
Altitude preparation is one of the most important aspects of the Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek because the route reaches elevations above 5,000 meters. Proper acclimatization, slow walking, staying hydrated, eating nutritious meals, and allowing your body time to adjust are essential. The itinerary includes acclimatization time in Namche Bazaar and Gokyo to help reduce the risk of altitude-related problems. Trail Mania Trekking guides monitor trekkers’ health conditions throughout the trek and provide advice on maintaining safety while trekking in high Himalayan environments.
Accommodation during the Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek is mainly provided in local teahouses and lodges operated by Sherpa communities. These accommodations offer basic but comfortable facilities, including twin-sharing rooms, dining areas, and warm meals. Facilities become simpler at higher elevations due to the remote mountain environment. Most teahouses provide traditional Nepali and international food options, allowing trekkers to rest comfortably after long walking days. Trail Mania Trekking arranges suitable accommodations based on availability and ensures that trekkers have a safe and pleasant stay throughout the journey.
Trekkers need several permits to complete the Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek in the Everest region of Nepal. These generally include the Sagarmatha National Park Permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit. These permits help support conservation, local development, and management of the trekking region. Trail Mania Trekking assists with arranging all required permits and documentation before the trek begins, allowing trekkers to focus on enjoying the journey without worrying about administrative procedures.
Packing properly is essential for a successful Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek. Important items include warm trekking clothes, thermal layers, a waterproof jacket, trekking boots, gloves, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a sleeping bag, personal medication, and a comfortable backpack. Since temperatures can become very cold at higher elevations, quality gear is highly recommended. Trail Mania Trekking provides a detailed packing checklist before departure to help trekkers prepare according to the season, weather conditions, and trekking requirements.
The Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek is generally safe when completed with proper preparation, suitable equipment, and experienced guidance. The main challenges are altitude, changing weather conditions, and physically demanding sections such as the Renjo La Pass crossing. Trail Mania Trekking prioritizes safety by providing knowledgeable guides, carefully planned itineraries, and proper acclimatization schedules. Trekkers are encouraged to communicate openly with guides about any health concerns and follow safety recommendations throughout the trek.
Trail Mania Trekking offers a professionally organized Gokyo Ri-Renjo La Pass Trek experience with experienced local guides, personalized services, and a strong focus on safety and customer satisfaction.
