Trip Overview

Gokyo Lake Trek is probably the most quintessential Himalayan detour. The journey encompasses Sherpa hamlets, gigantic mountain peaks, green lush forests, and a blue turquoise lake. Adventure trek in Nepal takes trekkers to the lap of Gokyo Ri sandwiched between Renjo La Pass and Chola Pass with Mt. Choyou on the backdrop. This is also the most enthralling short trekking route in the Everest region after the Everest View Trek package. Relish the jaw-dropping scenery of mountains and alluring landscape in Khumbu. You will finally believe that fairyland is a reality after witnessing the stupendous surrounding of Gokyo Valley.

Gokyo Lake Trek is also called the Gokyo Valley Trek. Trekkers traverse this Ramsar listed site using the trail of Everest Base Camp Trek. As trekkers land at the world's most extreme airfield of Lukla the Tenzing Hillary Airport they will meet the rest of the crew members of their trekking. The trail follows upwards to Phakding on the bank of Dudhkoshi River. Up until this point, the forest belt is temperate and after crossing the Sagarmatha National Park entry gates the forest style changes. More the altitude more alpine forests structure welcome trekkers. As in regular Everest trekking in Nepal, the acclimatization takes place in the vibrant town of Namche Bazaar. The first view of Mt. Everest and other dozens of mountains smile at you.

After a day's rest in Namche trekkers take a different route than the EBC trek. Traversing through a narrow trail and green lush forests trekkers reach the Gokyo Valley. Places like Mongla, Phortse Thanga, Macchhermo, and Dole are crossed before reaching the Gokyo Valley. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lakes are seen on day one of the visits. Our itinerary covers 4th, 5th Lakes, and Gokyo Ri hiking for a sunrise view as well.

The time spent on the shores of Gokyo Lake is mind-blowing. Clear Himalayan water and a tranquil environment will make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Book the Gokyo Lake Trek package with the team of Highland Eco Trek. You will be amazed to find out the interesting wonders of Mother Nature during enthralling Gokyo Valley Trekking in Nepal.
