EGV Trek Highlights

Gokyo Lake Trek Overview

The Gokyo Lake trek is a revered and classic journey, famed for its spectacular views of mountain peaks and the impressive Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest in the Himalayas of Nepal.

This region offers breathtaking vistas of Nepal’s most prominent 8,000-meter peaks, including Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu, all clearly visible from the vantage point of Gokyo Ri above Gokyo Lake. One of the highlights is the stunning view of the vast ice ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung Kang (2,922 m) in the Khumbu region.

After a 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla’s small airstrip, the real adventure begins. Over the following days, we trek and engage in meaningful interactions with the local mountain people, affectionately known as Sherpas.

Embracing the charm of the region, we stay in local lodges as we journey through the heart of their villages. This experience allows us to witness both the breathtaking landscapes and the rich cultural heritage that characterize this extraordinary trek.

Everything is meticulously organized with the help of local Sherpa guides. Along the trek, we will pass Buddhist monasteries and enjoy ever-closer views of Everest and other towering snow-covered mountains.

We will have rest days in the village of Namche Bazaar to explore the region and acclimatize, which is crucial. After reaching Gokyo Ri (5,483 m), we return at a leisurely pace to Namche and Lukla for our flight back to Kathmandu.
