Why is the ebc gokyo renjola pass trek ?


The EBC (Everest Base Camp) Gokyo Renjola Pass trek is a variation of the classic Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. It combines the journey to Everest Base Camp with a visit to the Gokyo Lakes and crossing the challenging Renjo La Pass. The trek offers stunning views of some of the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and others. The Gokyo Lakes, a series of turquoise lakes, are also a highlight, adding to the scenic beauty of the trek.

This trek provides a diverse landscape experience, from the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park to the barren, rocky terrain around Everest Base Camp and the glacial lakes of Gokyo. Crossing the Renjo La Pass adds an extra element of adventure and challenge. While the Everest Base Camp trek is quite popular and can get crowded during peak seasons, the EBC Gokyo Renjola Pass trek offers a less crowded alternative. It allows trekkers to enjoy the beauty of the Everest region while encountering fewer fellow travelers along the way.

Along the trekking route, trekkers pass through several Sherpa villages, providing opportunities to experience the unique Sherpa culture and hospitality. Visits to monasteries and interaction with local people enrich the cultural experience of the trek. Crossing the Renjo La Pass, which stands at an elevation of over 5,300 meters (17,500 feet), presents a challenging but rewarding experience for trekkers. The pass offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, making the effort to reach it worthwhile.

The EBC Gokyo Renjola Pass trek can be customized to suit the preferences and fitness levels of trekkers. It can be completed in various durations, ranging from around 14 to 18 days, allowing for flexibility in itinerary planning. The Gokyo Lakes are a highlight of the Everest Base Camp Gokyo Renjola Pass trek, as well as other trekking routes in the Everest region. Many trekkers include a visit to the lakes as part of their itinerary, either as a side trip from the Everest Base Camp trek or as the main destination.

    Altitude sickness symptoms and treatment

    Looking at the other side of Chola pass after getting to the top.
    Altitude sickness may occur if you go to a high height without giving your body time to acclimate. Both headache and nausea are symptoms. Your symptoms should go away on their own if you descend to a lower elevation. Altitude sickness can be fatal in extreme circumstances. Pause, and take a moment to relax. For at least 24 to 48 hours, stop from going any higher. Ibuprofen or paracetamol should be taken if you have a headache. Take an anti-sickness medication, such as promethazine, if you feel sick. Ensure you’re getting enough water to drink. Don’t exercise, drink alcohol, or smoke.
