It is one of the most challenging routes in the Everest region along the Everest base camp trekking. The trekking route passes through Lukla-Namche Bazaar and Thame- the heart land of Sherpa ethic community. This is considered to be one of the most adventurous trekking among the trekking routes in Nepal. It is one of the most frequently visited trekking routes among the tourists who come across with the Budget Adventure Treks Expeditions.

This is adventurous trekking begin from Lukla and crosses two high passes Renjo la (5360m) and Cho la (5368m) without technical climbing. These two passes are rugged high passes that link the major valleys of the Everest Base Camp. We follow the classic trek route to EBC up to Namche and then the trail deviates off the beaten track into the little travelled Bhote Koshi valley and begin the ultimate trekking trip in the Everest National Park. We trek slowly through Sherpa village and yak pastures with rarely trodden trail before emerging into the Stunning Gokyo valley with its beautiful lakes via Renjo La Pass from where the view of Everest is incredible. From Gokyo, we take the higher route of Cho La Pass to join the classic trail of Everest Base Camp witnessing the surrounding beautiful mountains.
