The Renjo La & Chola Pass trek explores the heart of the Sherpa homeland, visiting Namche Bazaar and Khumjung village before ascending the stunning Gokyo Valley. A string of glacial lakes is set like pearls in a beautiful high-altitude wilderness dominated by the great peaks of Cho Oyu and Gyanchungkang on the borders of Tibet. In the Chola Pass Trek we ascend Gokyo Ri, one of the finest vantage points for Mount Everest, Makalu and Lhotse. Crossing into the Khumbu Valley by way of the high and challenging Chola Pass, we then climb to the trekkers’ summit of Kalapathar, which affords more stunning views of Everest. Then it’s onto the Everest base Camp, scene of triumph and tragedy, where close-up views of the Khumbu Glacier can be had.
