EVEREST GOKYO LAKE TREK
A fantastic trek visiting all the high valleys of the Khumbu with plenty of time at Gokyo to explore the upper valley.
Trek up the Dudh Kosi to its source a tranquil glacial lake below the huge Ngojumba glacier. There are fewer trekkers here than on the route to Base Camp allowing you to enjoy the quiet of the mountains, its birds and wildlife. The views from Gokyo Peak (5200) are stunning. Five summits over 8000m are visible Everest, Lhotse Shar, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu as well as the Ngojumba Glacier (the largest in Nepal ), moraine and lakes.
Accommodation
Whilst trekking accommodation is in lodges and teahouses and is of a basic standard. Rooms may be twin or multi share with basic shared toilet facilities. Showers are available in some places for a small charge.
