Nangpa La and Renjo La trek in nepal

We fly up to the remote airstrip at Lukla and head north along the well-worn trail which follows the mighty Dudh Kosi river to Namche Bazaar. But from here we leave the crowds behind and head up the remote Nangpa Valley. This valley was off-limits for many years owing to its proximity to the sensitive Tibetan border. Its unspoilt authentic Sherpa villages offer a unique insight into how the area would have been when Ed Hillary first walked these paths fifty years ago. Our route now takes us across up to the Nangpa La(recently opened) and then over the Renjo La (5340m) to the cobalt-blue lakes at Gokyo. From our campsite by the lakes we can make the ascent of Gokyo Ri (5483m) for a unique panoramic view of the Everest massif and close range views of Cho Oyu (8201m) and Gyachung Kang (7922m).
