Cho La, Mountain pass at 5420 meters in Solukhumbu District, Nepal.
The pass connects Dzongla village at 4830 meters to Thagnak village at 4700 meters through a glacier-covered path in northeastern Nepal.
The pass forms part of Nepal's traditional Three Passes Trek, linking the main routes between Everest Base Camp and the Gokyo Lakes region.
Local guides from Sherpa communities lead trekkers through this section of the Khumbu region, sharing knowledge about mountain safety and navigation.
Trekkers require microspikes for glacier crossing, permits for Sagarmatha National Park, and proper acclimatization due to significant altitude changes.
The pass remains covered in snow for nine months yearly, with temperatures consistently below zero degrees Celsius at this elevation.
