The pass is on the Gokyo trail in the Khumbu Everest region. To the west the trail continues to the Gokyo Lakes, crossing the Ngozumpa glacier on the way. To the east the trail joins the Everest Base Camp trek.[1]

The pass can be physically demanding and may require crampons on top of the slippery glacier. The edge of the glacier is unstable.[1]
