EVEREST TREKKING : Everest Circuit Trek
Spectacular Himalayan traverse from the pristine Gokyo Valley over the challenging Cho La pass to Everest Base Camp.

The Everest Circuit trek is one of the most dramatic trekking route of Nepal as it combines the magnificent classic close-up views of Everest from Kalapathar, the awesome experience of Everest Base Camp, the sparkling Gokyo Lakes, the ascent of Gokyo Ri for superb, panoramic views of the Himalayas and the thrill of crossing of the Cho La pass – a remote high altitude pass with captivating scenery.

After the exciting flight into Lukla, we trek up to Namche Bazaar, the unofficial Sherpa capital with its diverse and colourful mix of people, Sherpa museum, monastery and busy market stalls full of local products and Tibetan artefacts - an interesting and ‘rewarding’ experience. Leaving the popular Everest base camp trails behind us, we trek up the serene Gokyo Valley, past 3 breathtakingly beautiful glacial lakes set among glistening, snow-capped peaks. Then we ascend Gokyo Ri in the crisp early sunrise for incredible 360 degree views of many of the world’s highest peaks, Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, Nupste and Makalu and the massive Nagozumpa glacier, the longest in the Nepal. After exploring the Gokyo valley, on the way to Everest base camp and Kalapathar we cross the Cho La (5420m) – a challenging pass that is rarely attempted by most trekking groups but you are rewarded with fabulous views as you descend through pristine snowfields into a broad secluded valley. You feel the increasing thrill and anticipation of coming ever closer to Everest, the highest mountain on earth.

After making your own historical footprint at Everest Base camp, an unforgettable experience, our descending route encompasses many cultural sights – Pangboche, a traditional Sherpa village, Thaynboche with its famous and wonderful ornately decorated Buddhist monastery and fascinating cultural site. This Everest circuit trek is a combination of Gokyo lakes and Everest base camp treks link with the hike over the challenging Chola pass.
