Gokyo & the Renjo La in Comfort

The Gokyo & Renjo La Pass trip with World Expeditions went above and beyond my expectations. This was my first time visiting Nepal and it won't be my last. The trip was planned flawlessly with the right amount of mileage/rest each day, the food was exceptional and the leadership/experience of Ananad our lead guide and the rest of the team was top notch. I couldn't recommend this trip more for an amazing mix of hiking, culture, and incredible views!

This trip was so much fun. The trek was a quieter route than the EBC, and the scenery was phenomenal. I was blown away by the inclusions from World Expeditions. Our guides Anand, Sandip and Ram were both experienced and professional and we were well looked after for the entirety of the trek.

Our trip to Gokyo Lakes and the Renjo La Pass was amazing! Anand, our lead guide was great - always looking out for everyone to make sure each person was doing ok and enjoyed their experience. The rest of the staff - the cooks, porters and other guides, all helped ensure we had a great time. The food was something else - it was amazing to see just what could be made each day. This was our first trip with World Expeditions, but I certainly hope it won't be our last!

a stunning 17 day trip, beautiful and so rewarding

This trip was incredible. If you're on the fence, just do it. Gorgeous views, wonderful guide and staff. It was challenging, of course, and well worth every step.

What a wonderful experience. Between the expertise provided from our amazing guide Balram to our cook Mr Pulmar who continued to satisfy a picky eater every day and our incredible porters Deepak and Ravi who always ended the day with a smile. What more is there to like and how privileged we were to be guided through Nepal with this team. Amazing effort and we cant wait to visit again. Thank you so much to the team.

This trek was BRILLIANT for so many reasons - World Expeditions plan and prepare this wonderful trek with care & many provisions, including safety, information, on tack support, good and plentiful food, good accommodation.... - the guides are first rate in every way, the time of year was perfect (not too many crowds) and the trekkers were a lovely group of people, the mountains were magic - a total highlight of my hiking life!

The Gokyo Ri/Renjo La trek met all of my expectations. We had issues getting to Lukla with a closed highway to Ramecamp & then poor weather causing flights to be delayed, however, Bikash (our guide) managed to sort out helicopters so that the trek could occur. Weather was perfect with clear skies in the morning & some cloud in the afternoons, making for great viewing of mountains such as Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu & Everest. Accommodation & food was very good with hot showers available at some locations (for additional $). Some people experienced issues with altitude with one couple having to be helicoptered out at Gokyo. Bikash again sorted all of this out. Would certainly rate this trek as challenging, especially the 3&1/2hr climb up to Gokyo Ri - 800m straight up. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip & rate it as one of the best treks in the Himalayas given that I have also done Annapurna circuit, Kanchenjunga & Laya via Gasa trek in Bhutan. Final call out for the WEX team of guides, cooks & porters who worked hard & were always very professional.

I have travelled a great deal and I always steered away from organised tours, however my experience with World Expeditions in Nepal was a great one. The perfect combination of adventure travel with a lot of support. My favourite part was our local guide who gave us a truly immersive cultural experience. We had 3 weeks of feeling like we were a part of a little family and I would highly recommend World Expeditions, especially if you are hesitant of an 'organised' trip.

This trek was the most challenging and most amazing outdoor adventure I’ve ever undertaken. Samde, our guide, took such good care of our group of 15 that spanned ages from 23 to 73. He is so kind, pleasant, knowledgeable, encouraging, and caring, and if I ever find myself trekking in Nepal again I would definitely want him as my guide. I must also acknowledge the help I received from Rajan, an assistant guide who helped me immeasurably on the day we crossed the Renjo La and the subsequent longer days of walking. All the guides, cooks, and porters were exceptional and were so attentive to our every need. I cannot say enough good about the whole team from World Expeditions. From being awoken with a cup of hot tea, to being served three amazing, plentiful meals a day, to being handed hot drinks as we came in from a challenging day of trekking, to being brought warm washing water, to carrying not one but two fully loaded duffle bags…they did all this with kindness and caring. The rocky trails were definitely challenging for me and some of the uphill and downhill climbs were arduous for this 67 year old, but Samde knew how to pace the group and provide encouragement so that we all finished the trek happy and healthy. I will remember forever with fondness the day we sang a few songs with Samde as he strummed the guitar at one of our tea house breaks as trekkers and mule trains passed by on the trail. I enjoyed camping in the eco-camps surrounded by beautiful views but I also enjoyed the nights we spent in tea houses. The dining halls at the eco-camps are permanent structures and were all quite comfortable. As the weather got colder in the higher elevations, I was grateful for the warm sleeping bag and down jacket that World Expeditions provides, and even though it got cold overnight I was always warm enough in the tents and unheated teahouse rooms. I was grateful for the relative solitude of the trails after we split off from the main EBC trail. If you are looking to challenge yourself on a Himalayan trek, I highly recommend this Gokyo/Renjo La trek with World Expeditions.
