Gokyo Lake Trek

The Gokyo Lake Trek in the Khumbu region is an extraordinary adventure, though it can be quite challenging. It takes you to some of the highest points in the area and offers a chance to visit the Gokyo lakes, which are among the highest freshwater lakes in the world. The trek also includes climbing Gokyo Ri (5360m), where you’ll enjoy stunning views of the snow-capped Himalayas. Along the way, you’ll experience the unique culture of the Sherpa villages.

The journey begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. From there, we trek to Phakding, enjoying views of Mount Kusum Khangkaru (6367m) and Thamserku (6608m) along the way. Next, we head to Namche, a Sherpa town where you can see Mount Everest (8848m) from Hotel Everest View. The trail then takes us through Himalayan settlements at Dhole and Machhermo before reaching the Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest in Nepal.

Continuing on, we reach Gokyo village, where we’ll enjoy views of six glacial lakes. The next day, we hike up Gokyo Ri (5360m) for even more breathtaking views of the highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. Finally, we retrace our steps back to Lukla before flying back to Kathmandu.

This trek is challenging, as you’ll reach an altitude of 5,360 meters. It’s best done in the Spring (March to May) or Autumn (September to November) seasons.

Chola Pass Trek

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with the Chola Pass Trek, where you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views of towering mountains and experience the simple, traditional way of life in the Himalayas.

Starting with a glimpse of Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, we begin our journey with a quick flight to Lukla, followed by a trek to Phakding. We then make our way to Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa settlement in the region, before continuing to Tengboche Monastery. After acclimatizing, we head to Dingboche, then Lobuche, and finally reach Everest Base Camp via Gorakshep. The panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Ama Dablam from Kalapatthar will leave you in awe.

Our next challenge is crossing the demanding Chola Pass at 5420 meters. Despite the physical exertion, reaching the top brings a sense of peace as you take in the stunning views of the Everest Himalayas. We then descend to Gokyo village and its beautiful lakes before continuing to Dhole. Crossing Phortse Tenga, we return to Namche Bazaar and conclude our trek in Lukla.
