Gokyo Renjo Pass Trek’s transportation is as follows:
To experience the best views, Spring (Mar-May) and Autumn (Sep-Nov) are the best seasons for the Gokyo Renjo Pass trek as the weather is favorable and temperatures are stable in these months. The unstable weather and temperature, slippery trails, flight cancelations, and only limited services are experienced during the monsoon and winter seasons. Plan wisely to trek in winter and monsoon seasons.
The Gokyo Renjo Pass Trek has a maximum elevation gain of 5,644.5 m. It is common to get altitude sickness above 2500 m and hence there is a chance of getting altitude sickness during the Gokyo Renjo Pass Trek. Acclimatization rest is the best way to prevent altitude sickness. We advise taking an acclimatization rest as scheduled in the itinerary during the trek.
Altitude Sickness Symptoms
Headache, vomiting, vertigo, restlessness, loss of appetite & sleep, and unconsciousness and hallucination (extreme cases)
Altitude Sickness Preventions
