Gokyo Lake - Chola Pass - Everest Base Camp |
|
This unique trek leads you to the home of the legendary
Sherpa people, on the foothill of the highest peak of
the world, the Mt. Everest at 8848m. This 18 days trek
follows the highly praised trekking route through the
Dudh Koshi to its source the Gokyo Lake to the west
of the Everest Base Camp. The excellent trek give the
benefit to summit Gokyo peak (5483m) offering a fantastic
panoramic view of Cho Oyo, Everest, Makalu etc. During
traveling through Khumbu Himal, Gokyo valley and pass,
one is rewarded with some of the most dramatic landscapes.
The trek can be treated as one of the adventurous trek
in the Himalayas as it follows the route via high pass
into Khumbu i.e. Cho La pass at 5330m. As we cross the
Cho-La pass, we then return back to Lukla following
the route through Everest Base Camp, Kala Pathar and
Thyangboche monastery, Khumjung village, Namche Bazar.
This ideal trek gives enough
opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking view of Everest
including several other similar peaks and to explore
the Buddhists monasteries located at the world's highest
elevation. |
