Kathmandu to Gokyo - Lukla

12 Days GokyoRi Trek

Overview

The Gokyo Lake Trek takes adventurous trekkers to fabulous Gokyo Valley, source of grand Dudh Koshi River and the celebrated view points of Gokyo Ri. Obviously the trek further traverses through the landmarks of Everest region in the company of majestically soaring mountains, friendly Sherpas, colorful monasteries and prayer flags, the Namche Bazaar, the Sagarmatha National Park, and many more. Gokyo, a hidden valley with gorgeous blue lakes in the lap of Himalaya has its own reputation among the adventurous souls. The entire area is blessed with abounding natural beauty of shimmering Lakes. Beyond peace of mind at the tranquil appearance of the glacial lakes, we can enjoy 360 degree panoramic views of four above 8000 m massifs and other mountain ranges from the best view point of Everest Region, the Gokyo Ri – because panorama from here is more spectacular than that from Kala Patthar viewpoint. This is graded as a difficult and challenging trek suitable only for physically fit and experienced hikers who love the challenge.
