This unforgettable wilderness trek is an outstanding trek visiting the high lush valleys of the Khumbu with time to explore villages and monasteries and to sample the incredible hospitality of the Sherpa people.

Our trek trip starts off with a scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. Lukla is our starting point from where we start our trekking following the Dudh Koshi River. You get to pass through the lush forest of rhododendron and pine, Dudh Koshi valley, Sagarmatha national park, high passes, waterfalls, beautiful Sherpa villages like Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Lobuche, Pheriche etc. Your arrival into this high mountain valley called Gokyo is welcomed by a string of sapphire blue lakes that continue for the 3-hour hike to Gokyo Village, which sits at the foot of Gokyo Ri at (18,300 ft) a huge black heap of rock and silt. Its grandeur of beautiful turquoise lakes, mars-like glaciers, and the breathtaking Himalayan vistas that include Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu – four of the eight tallest peaks on the planet! The 360-degree view from Gokyo Ridge is the best in the Khumbu! On the way, we stay in the village of Namche Bazaar to acclimatize. After reaching Kalapathar and viewing all the imposing mountains from it we shall begin our descent back down to Pheriche. And from there we will return back to Lukla via Thame and Monjo. We then conclude out trek by taking a flight back to Kathmandu from Lukla like the way we arrived.

The Gokyo Chola Pass Trek generally requires a good amount of physical fitness as it goes through high passes in the Himalayas, so proper maintained fitness will be an advantage during this trek. Trekkers prefer Feb- Apr & May-Nov as the best seasons to come for this trek because during these times the weather conditions aren’t very harsh so you can witness the full sight of the Himalayas.
