Mera, Island, and Khumbu Circuit
 |
Day 33: Gokyo-Renjo Pass (5340m)-Lungden (4400m) |
| Day 33: On the way to Renjo La Looking back to Gokyo from the trail. At the back are Everest and Lhotse. |
|
| Day 33: At the bottom of Renjo La I took a different path then the rest by going up a rocky trail on the right, following the markers which led to a plateau. Renjo La is at the center right above the big rock. From here I took the right trail along the middle of the ridges which is longer but easier, while the rest took the left trail via the frozen lake. |

| Day 33: Top of Renjo La (5340m) Pemba and Mice reaching the top of Renjo La. |
|
| Day 33: View from Renjo La Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse are on the top left. |
|
| Day 33: Going down We passed by some frozen lakes after the pass. There were also patches of alpine desert on the way as seen near the center of this picture. |
|
| Day 33: Reaching Lungden We were lucky to have a new lodge opening up at Lungden. They started operating from Sept 2003. Without this lodge we would have a long long trek all the way down to Thame. The sukuti (Nepali fried beef with onions and chillis) here was good, according to Eric. |
