Everest Base Camp, Cho La Pass & Gokyo Lakes

Trekking to Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes and the Cho La pass offers a challenging 17 day trek for experienced trekkers looking for a real insight into the majesty of the Everest region. The Gokyo Lakes trek offers an alternative to the traditional trek to Everest Base Camp and from Gokyo Ri the views of Everest are arguably the best on offer and the panorama includes views of four 8000m peaks and the largest glacier in Nepal. Additionally the circular nature of the trek adds immensely to your trekking experience.

Your adventure begins in the vibrant city of Kathmandu where you will enjoy a full day sightseeing tour. Your trek starts the following day with a short flight to Lukla and your first day’s trek to Phakding. After the first couple of days on the main Everest Trail you branch left into the spectacular Gokyo Valley and after a thorough exploration of this spectacular valley you cross the Cho La Pass (5330m) to rejoin the main route to Everest Base Camp where you will will visit both the site of Everest Base Camp and summit Kala Patter (5545m).

The highlights of your trek will surely include thee panoramic views from Gokyo Ri, the challenging crossing the Cho La Pass, your visit to Everest base Camp and the dawn view of Everest from the summit of Kala Pattar. The descent from Everest Base Camp is considerably quicker and after 17 days of trekking you will be looking forward to the short hop back to Kathmandu and the relative luxury that it offers.
