Everest Gokyo Cho- La Pass Trekking is an enduring trekking circuit, filled with supreme challenges of trekking to the famous Khumbu Mountains and Sherpa highlands. Everest Gokyo Cho-La Pass Trekking holds exciting features and provides us with the splendid view of the gokyo valley, Ngozumpa glacier, magnificent Dudh Koshi River, popular Cho-La Pass along with breathtaking views of Gokyo RI and Kala Patthar. This particular trekking circuit takes us closer to the age old lifestyles of the legendary Sherpas and their vibrant villages swaying under the prayer flags with traditional monasteries are soulful and picturesque as well.

Everest Gokyo Cho-La Pass Trekking begins once we step on to the scenic Tenzing Hillary Airport at Lukla, leading us straight through the Sagarmatha National Park filled with exciting and colourful landscapes; further the trail leads us the interesting Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar, an exciting settlement providing spectacular mountain vistas. Overjoyed and amazed by the brilliance and diversity of the Sherpa village, its culture and monasteries a day in hand for resting is an order for the day and also of paramount importance to overcome acclimatization as the altitude begins to rise. The next day we steadily pass through the dense alpine forest, along with diverse wildlife, raging glacial river and Buddhist monasteries. As our trail slowly reaches Gokyo we acclimatize and explore the Gokyo Valley, Gokyo Lakes, and the Gokyo Ri viewpoint, here we are greeted by panoramic mountain views of Everest, Cho-oyu, Lhotse and Makalu, before proceeding towards Cho La pass. Cho-La pass poses an intimidating challenge and tests enduring abilities to the limits which are self evident while crossing this pass. Upon achieving the target of overcoming the crossing of this pass we head towards Everest base camp and Kalapattar. We spend some time getting the glimpse of the adjacent mountain vistas and trek back down to Lukla for a return flight to Kathmandu.

Everest Gokyo Cho-La Pass is an adventurous trekking route and can be attempted by trekkers possessing sound physical ability and interest. Mountain Safari (P) Ltd takes you across to the high passes and providing getting a glimpse of the world’s highest peak along the gorgeous blue lakes in the lap of the Himalayas makes this trip memorable and worth revering.
