Everest Gokyo Trek

The ambitious trekker’s intend on crossing high passes without the commitment to any technical climbing. Heading towards Everest we cross the Kangma La, Cho La and Renjola pass with the alpine pastures and lakes of Gokyo. From Gokyo Ri we can see the outstanding views of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Pumori, Amadablam, Lobuche and other many more mountains.

A few days trek from Lukla on the highland, takes you to the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park and the town of Namche Bazaar- the gateway of Everest Trek. You can go further from here either to Gokyo Lake or to the Everest Base Camp. Physically, this trek is hard because of the high altitude you are walking on.

Highlights:

This is a fantastic trek, visiting all of the high valleys of Khumbu with extra time at Gokyo to explore the upper valley. We then reach Gokyo Lakes where the Khumbu range is reflected in the emerald green water below, and an optional excursion to Gokyo Ri with stunning views of Makalu and Everest may cause a slight detour.
