Gokyo Renjo Pass Trek in Everest Region Nepal

If you want the classic Everest experience without the conga line of trekkers, do the Gokyo Renjo La Pass circuit instead. It’s a genuine loop—no backtracking required—winding up through turquoise glacial lakes and climbing over the 5,360-meter Renjo La. Once you reach the top, you get a dead-on, front-row view of four 8,000-meter giants: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.
