Gokyo Ri Lake
This is a wonderful Trek in the Everest Base Camp area which Commences from the airstrip at Lukla. The first three days are spent trekking the well known trail to E.B.C. We traverse west for a gradual ascent to the beautiful five lakes of Gokyo, where we take a breather for some off track hikes including a climb of Gokyo RI for some fantastic views. From Gokyo, we trek over the Chola pass onwards to Gorak Shep on the main trail and on to Kala Pattar, which gives us fantastic views of Everest. A further five days are spent descending to Lukla for our flight to Kathmandu.
This is the ultimate challenge to a must-do venture for the die-hard trekker. This challenging graded trek takes you across some high mountain passes at an elevation of 5420 m. Also included is the opportunity to trek to the summit of both Gokyo RI [5340m.] and Kala Pattar [5554m.] for magnificent views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. A visit to Everest Base Camp will give you opportunities for upfront views of the spectacular Khumbu Icefall.
Beginners or inexperienced climbers can go ahead with this adventure into the wild, but this trek requires one to be moderately, if not thoroughly fit. Considering the snowing conditions over Cho La Pass, this trek ought not to be taken during winter months of [January & February] and the monsoon period of [July & August].
