Crossing a 17,500 ft Himalayan Pass Alone 🇳🇵 | Renjo La Pass | Day 14 EBC Trek

Day 14 of my Solo Everest Base Camp Trek 🇳🇵 Today was easily the hardest day of this journey so far. I started early from Lungden and began the long climb towards Renjo La Pass (17,500 ft / 5,338 m). The trail was covered in fresh snow, visibility kept changing every hour, and some sections became really difficult because of ice and steep climbs. Crossing Renjo La alone at this altitude tested me physically and mentally. But reaching the top and seeing the mountains covered in snow made every step worth it. After crossing the pass, I descended towards Gokyo — one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in the Khumbu region. This route feels completely different from the crowded main Everest Base Camp trail. 📍 Route: Lungden → Renjo La Pass → Gokyo 🥾 Trek: Everest Base Camp + Three Passes Trek 🏔️ Altitude: 17,500 ft / 5,338 m 📅 Day 14 – Solo EBC Trek
