Gokyo Lake & Everest Base Camp Trek

The Gokyo Valley and Chola pass takes us through some of the Khumbu Himal’s most dramatic sceneries. It combines the attraction of the more popular approach to Base Camp while allowing more time to explore the wild beauty of the less populated areas. This is a strenuous trek and should only be attempted by those who are very fit and experienced. The Sherpas are our constant companions and their hospitality is world renowned.
