Everest Gokyo Trek
Our trek starts from Lukla, following up the Dudh Koshi river valley towards Namche, and other main villages of Khumbu, Thame & Khumjung. After Khumjung Valley we branch off from the main busy trail towards the sleepy village of Phortse Tenga and finally reaching to our ultimate destination at Gokyo. Gokyo, a one time yak pasture is blessed with two beautiful high lakes, with a majestic view of Cho Oyu and other 8000 metres peaks of the region. We climb Kala Pattar (the 'Black Rock') or the Gokyo Ri at Gokyo, to view the Western shoulder of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and far away Makalu. We continue on towards the main Everest trail at Thyangboche, a famous monastery. Our return journey is made via Namche Bazaar and finally to Lukla to conclude this high journey, with a great experience of a lifetime.
