Gokyo Lakes and the Renjo Pass Trek has amazing mountain scenery and exposure to the special Sherpa culture. Trekkers will view the fantastic panoramas of Everest and the surrounding peaks! This is a special trek as we go to Phortse, the home village where your COMPASSION TREKKING guides grew up. We explore the village and meet Sonam’s and Puh’s family and friends. This trek can be modified to specific timelines if required.

Please note: Your safety and health is our priority and we occasionally need to modify the itinerary due to weather or other concerns.
