Description

This is a unique trek via the off beaten trails.So, the off beaten trails make it more challenging than the classic Everest Base Camp trail because of the elevated Cho La Pass in between the two incredible valleys of the Everest Region; Gokyo and Khumbu.

Pass through the remarkable Sherpa town and explore their lifestyle. This is a dramatic route as the trek will take us over 5000m destinations like Gokyo RI (5,357m), Cho La Pass (5,367m), Kala Patthar (5,550m) and Everest Base Camp (5,364m). The feeling of being near to the tallest mountain in the world is just unexplainable as a rush of pride flows through your mind. The highlight of the trip is definitely the striking blue Gokyo Lake which is absolutely breath taking.

The trek starts with a short 40 minutes’ scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. Following the banks of Dudh Koshi river, we will be entering the famous Sherpa town; Namche Bazaar for a proper acclimatization as we will explore the town and hike to nearby beautiful landscapes. The next day, we will enter the hiding valley following the high-altitude trail of Dole and Machhemro. As we trek, the Gokyo RI gives a majestic surrounding of the mountain view. Soon after, we will cross the Cho La Pass (5,420m) following the rocky trails and alpine scenery crossing the Khumbu Glacier and Gorak Shep. We will finally visit the Everest Base Camp through the track of the beautiful Khumbu Icefall. Finally, to get a remarkable panoramic view of Mt. Everest and other peaks we will be trekking to the famous viewpoint; Kala Patthar. After an amazing achievement, we will descend down through a different route visualizing the beauty of nature.

This 15 days’ trek is a very popular in the Everest Region. It is a fun walking trail that goes up and down the rolling hills, like the waves in the ocean and is definitely a trek that should not be missed. A journey through Cho La Pass connecting to the Gokyo lake to the famous Khumbu icefall and the Everest Base Camp guarantees a different adventurous trip!
