Trekking to Renjola Pass is a very popular visit among tourists. A little off the main trekking trail, Thamo and Thame offer visits to untouched Sherpa culture where people have maintained the traditional way of life. You can experience the local culture through home stay accommodations. Cultural groups perform shows for tourists on request.
In addition, you can explore the jungle near the settlement sheltering endangered wildlife species, like musk deer and pheasants. The mainstay of the local economy here is tourism.
