From Renjo La Pass, We move to the venerated Gokyo lakes for 2 blissful nights and climb Gokyo Ri (5,357m/17,575ft). Gokyo Ri is a major viewpoint providing panoramic views of mountains. Similarly, we plod up to snowy will Cho-La pass at (5,420m/17,783ft) before making it to Everest Base Camp and the breathtaking Kalapathar for some heavenly views of the surrounding Everest landscapes. And Complete the fainal objective of our Everest Three High Passes Trek, Khongma La Pass (5,535m/18,160ft). From Chukung, we retrace back and meet up with the Everest trails via the lovely villages of Dingboche & the famous Tengboche monastery.
