Browse the full Langtang Valley library →Renjo La connects the Gosainkunda Valley with the Thame Valley and is one of the Langtang Gosainkunda Pass. It offers outstanding views but requires high-altitude fitness, route knowledge, suitable conditions and a flexible plan.
Route character
The pass is reached through the Gosainkunda region and descends toward Thame. The day includes sustained ascent, exposed terrain and high-altitude decision-making with limited services.
- Gosainkunda lakes and high-valley scenery
- Wide views toward Langtang-region peaks
- Quieter Thame Valley approach
- A major component of a Gosainkunda Pass circuit
Planning and safety
- Allow extra acclimatization before the pass
- Check snow, ice, visibility and local route reports
- Carry warm layers, water and navigation backup
- Keep a lower or delayed fallback if the pass is not safe
Do not treat an itinerary description as confirmation that the pass is open on your dates.
