Overview

Gokyo Lakes Trek is defined as an alternative trek of the Everest base camp. The outstanding panoramas that can be explored this excursion make your trek a lifetime experience. Gokyo Lakes are tranquil and the glacial lakes magnetize you to walk around the stunning landscape. Gokyo Ri hiking from there surpass your imagination with sufficient opportunities to be delighting with the Everest region white peaks and glaciers.

Gokyo Trek is begins from Lukla airport and passes through the beautiful Sherpa villages above the Dudh Koshi valley. Reaching the Sherpa town- Namche Bazaar, you find there the bustling life of the Sherpas and the surrounding communities fully loaded with the spiritual appeal of the colorful monasteries and chhortens. The views of Everest peaks at the horizon provoke you to go higher and be closer with those sceneries. The trail from Namche is a bit tougher, but if you manage the physical fitness and acclimatization then you can move up with a gradual walk. Confronting with the glacial lakes at the Gokyo valley, you can dream of a tiny heaven. More exciting part is again there when you climb up to the Gokyo Ri and explore the majestic peaks as Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Gokyo Peak and others. The Ngozumba glacier and the whole landscape are just stunning.
