Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lake Trek
Maximum Altitude : 5545 meters
Duration of Trek : 17 days mountain lodge
An addition to the Everest Base Camp trek is a trek to the Gokyo Lake. Gokyo is located immediately west of the Khumbu valley, it is much less traveled or developed than the main trail.
The Gokyo valley is dominated at its head by the massive and almost over baring form of Cho-Oyu (8153 meters). From Gokyo we ascend to Gokyo Ri (two hours)for some spectacular views before retracing to Gokyo,we then follow the south easterly trail to Thagnag Kharka
A further two days are spent reaching Lobuche on the main Everest trail.
Lobuche to Kalapatthar takes a further two days via the lateral moraine of the Everest glacier where there are spectacular high mountain views of Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse. Five days are taken retracing to Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu.
