Gokyo Lakes Trek - 16 Days

Your designated Group Leader will greet you and transfer you to the hotel. Relax and take pleasure in the fun of driving through unfamiliar roads.

• Short preliminary briefing after transferring you to the hotel.

We hiked to Phakding for 3 hours once we landed at Lukla. A spectacular view of the stunning Dudh Koshi gorge, landscape, and deep valley is unique.

• Fly in a twin-otter plane to a small Lukla airport at 2,840m.
• A beautiful walk through the series of stunning settlements.
• The scenic beauty, deep gorge, and farming terraces at the backdrop are phenomenal.
• Overnight stay at a tea house at Phakding. 

One great adventure of a lifetime. Although long hours walk, it's far more than just trekking. Give time to adapt your body to thin air. It's not a matter of proving your physical strength, and it's more about taking pleasure with steady ascend.

• Wake up call as set by your leader.
• A three-hour gentle walk through a series of pleasant villages to Jorsale for lunch.
• The crossing of 5 high suspension bridges is daring.
• The scenic beauty, deep gorge, and soaring cliffs at the backdrop are phenomenal.
• Great view of Kusum Kangroo, Thamserku, and Holy Khumbiyela mountain

A short and relaxing walk to the “Valley inside the Clouds,” Khumjung. It is situated at the base of the holy mountain Khumbiyela, which is exceptionally sensational.

• 2:30 hours easy walk.
• Visit Yak Farm, a school built by Edmund Hillary, and Khumjung Monastery to witness the scalp of the yeti is another legendary quest.

One of the best trails leads you Dole to the valley of Gokyo.

• Breathtaking view of the towering mountain to your right.
• First view of the 6th highest mountain in the world, Cho-Oyu.
• Despite Dole being a small settlement, it is simply fabulous.

Trek to Machhermo is another easy and short day via Dole. 

• You would witness the legends of the Yeti incident around the 70s.
• Despite going higher away from the tree-line area, it is purely marvelous.
• New peaks like Kyojo Ri (6,168 m) and Machhermo Peak (6,073 m) shoot up, which is stunning.
• You have a free afternoon to explore or join the activities prompted by your leader.

Next fabulous day that offers you outstanding mountain views together with a dazzling series of turquoise-blue glacial lakes.

• It is an effortless walk, but the altitude makes a difference, with a more comprehensive trail and stunning views.
• The beauty of witnessing the blue lakes is simply out of this world.
• Gokyo is situated by the side of the third big lake, and Cho Oyu at the backdrop is very comforting.
• The contentment of being there is worthwhile.

The next morning is a very challenging day to summit Gokyo Ri for the most exceptional view of Everest and its neighboring peaks.
