Renjola La 5360m Gokyo Ri 5450m, and Cho Oyu BC Photos

We went to the Gokyo Valley via the Renjo La Pass, continued on to the Cho You South base camp and walked all the way back to Lukla.

This post is from 2010 and 2022 trips. In 2010 we went to the Gokyo Valley via the Renjo La Pass after crossing Teshi Labtsa Pass, continued on to the Cho Oyu South base camp and walked all the way back to Lukla. In 2022, we also went to Cho Oyu BC, Gokyo Ri and continued on to Cho La Pass, Lobuche East Peak and then out to Lukla via Khumbu Valley. Thanks to Rajendra from Mountain Sun Valley for organizing this trip in 2010 and 2022.
