On
the way back from Kala Pattar, we give people the option of
going over the beautiful Cho La Pass
(video), leading across to
the Gokyo Valley, via Zongma and Tangnak. Truly spectacular! |
| The
Gokyo Cho La Trek option involves crossing a glacier; however
there are no serious dangers on route,or technical difficulties
unless there has been heavy snowfall. In that case we trek
back by the normal route. The Gokyo trek takes you in to a
aquite valley, before crossing the spectacular Cho la pass,
and then down to Gokyo |
| The
Gokyo trek is the perfect loop on our way back out to Namche
and Lukla. |
| From
Gokyo we will ascend Gokyo Ri, a small summit (5483 m) to the
north west of the village. The climb takes around two hours,and
is well worth the effort,(video)
with spectacular views of Everest, Cho Oyu and the turquoise
lakes of Gokyo(video)
Some trekkers regard this view as even better than from Kala
Pattar. |
| After
visiting the Gokyo region,we will trek back down the Gokyo valley,
through the lovely Sherpa villages of Macherma and Dole to Namche
Bazaar. |

trek introduction:
The adventure of trekking in the Everest region starts with
a flight into the tiny airstrip of Lukla. Spend several
days trekking through the homelands of the Sherpa people,
among their villages and Buddhist monasteries, with views
of Everest and neighbouring Ama Dablam, considered by many
to be among the most beautiful mountains in Nepal. Stroll
around Namche Bazaar, the bustling market town in the heart
of Sherpa country and soak up the magnificent mountain scenery.
Without doubt, the highlights of the trek are the awe-inspiring
views of some of the biggest mountains in the world which
unfold the further you venture into the Khumbu valley; not
forgetting, of course, the personal sense of achievement
in reaching the Everest Base Camp. Trekking in the Khumbu
Valley and Gokyo Ri takes you to the most dramatic and interesting
parts of the Everest region, and rewards you with dramatic
landscapes, beautiful views of the Gokyo Lakes, spectacular
mountain views with four mountains above 8000metres - Cho
Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu, and the tremendous view
of Ngozumpa glacier.
