Renjo La Pass (5,360 m) is one of the most beautiful and adventurous high passes in the Everest region of Nepal. It is a key highlight of the Everest Three Passes Trek and connects the peaceful Gokyo Valley with the traditional Sherpa villages of Thame and Namche Bazaar. Crossing Renjo La gives trekkers an incredible Himalayan experience, combining adventure, culture, and unforgettable mountain views.
When you stand at the top of Renjo La, you will see a breathtaking panorama of the Everest Himalayas – including Mount Everest (8,848 m), Lhotse, Makalu, and the entire Gokyo Lakes spread out below. This is one of the best viewpoints in the Khumbu region, even better than Kala Patthar for many trekkers. The climb to Renjo La is challenging, but the rewards are truly beyond words.
If you are looking for a trek that is adventurous but not as crowded as the classic Everest Base Camp Trek, then Renjo La is perfect. The trail takes you through quiet valleys, crystal-clear lakes, yak pastures, and Sherpa villages where life has stayed the same for centuries. Unlike the busier trails, this route gives you a chance to enjoy real Himalayan peace and beauty.

The journey usually begins from Lukla and goes through Namche Bazaar before reaching the turquoise Gokyo Lakes. From Gokyo, the trail climbs steeply toward Renjo La. The final push to the top is challenging, with rocky steps and high altitude making it harder. But once you stand on the pass, you will see a golden reward: wide Himalayan ranges, frozen lakes, and even the Tibetan border far away.
On the other side of the pass, the trail descends into Thame Valley, one of the oldest trade routes to Tibet. This area is full of culture, old monasteries, and traditional Sherpa houses. The trek then continues back toward Namche Bazaar, completing a wonderful circuit.
The best seasons to trek Renjo La are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the skies are clear, the weather is stable, and the mountain views are outstanding. The spring season also brings colorful rhododendron flowers, while autumn has perfect crisp air.
In winter, crossing Renjo La is possible but very tough because of heavy snow and freezing temperatures. In the monsoon season (June–August), the trails are slippery and flights to Lukla often get delayed. That is why most trekkers book their trip with Nature Heaven Treks during spring and autumn for the safest and most enjoyable experience.
The cost of a Renjo La Pass trek depends on the itinerary, group size, and service level. Budget trekkers can choose basic lodge accommodations, while comfort trekkers can book upgraded lodges with attached bathrooms where available. A full package usually includes permits, meals, guide, porter, flights to Lukla, and accommodation in Kathmandu.
At Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, we offer affordable and transparent trekking packages with no hidden charges. Our team helps with permits (Sagarmatha National Park and TIMS), gear rental, and travel arrangements. We also provide fixed departures as well as custom private trips, so you can choose what works best for your time and budget.
Renjo La is a high pass above 5,000 m, so proper acclimatization is very important. We always include rest days in Namche Bazaar and Gokyo before crossing the pass. Our guides carry first-aid kits, and our team monitors trekkers for any signs of altitude sickness. Safety is our number one priority.
Travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking is strongly recommended. Many trekkers also keep the option of a helicopter evacuation in case of emergency. With Nature Heaven Treks, you can trek confidently knowing that all safety measures are in place.
