 This
trek in remote and less frequented by
travelers in the Everest area, combine
hikes in the Nangpa, Gokyo and the Khumbu
Vallyes - the 3 main valleys that form
the Everest region. The trek itinerary
begins with a flight to Lukla from Kathmandu
and then begin the hike via Namche Bazaar
first into Nangpa Valley then cross
over a 5340m. high Pass (Renjo La) to
enter Gokyo Valley and then cross another
5320m. high pass (Cho La) to enter into
Khumbu Valley to visit the Mount Everest
base camp.
Hike in the Nangpa Valley, which
leads towards the Nangpa La pass (5716m.)
Nepal - Tibet border, will be the
focus of the trip as this beautiful
Valley which has been recently opened
for trekkers is less frequented by
travelers and more remote than the Gokyo and Khumbu Valley.
While in the Nangpa Valley we will
visit the old base camp for Mt. Cho-Oyu
8201m. and if possible climb to the
Nangpa La pass (5716m.) After the
hikes in the Nangpa Valley, we will
be well acclimatized for crossing
of our first high pass Renjo La 5340m.
From this pass, the view of Mt. Everest
and mountains in the vicinity are
just breathtaking with the turquoise
color Gokyo lake in the foreground.
Entering Gokyo, we cross the Ngozumba
glacier which drains from the mountains
in the Mt. Cho-Oyu range and take
the higher trail for the Cho-La pass
(5320m.) The hike to this pass is
quiet and beautiful with many smaller
snowy peaks encircling our trail.
Even though a few meter less higher
than Renjo La pass, the Cho-La pass
is a snowy pass and offers beautiful
view of peaks in the Gokyo Valley
and Amadablam on the other side.
 Entering
into Khumbu Valley, we meet the popular
Mt. Everest trail at Lobuche. From
here, the Mount Everest base camp
is another day's walk pass the tea
houses in Gorakshep. The walk to Mt.
Everest base camp after Gorakshep
