The Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo Lakes takes place in the Khumbu region, providing you a chance to look into nature’s most well-kept secrets – including Gokyo Lakes, Cho La Pass, Gokyo Ri Viewpoint, and Khumbu Icefall. You will also get to experience some of the world’s highest mountains – Everest (8848m), Pumori (7868m), Lhotse (8516m) Cho You (5850m), and Nuptse(7364m). Amidst all this, you will be able to witness some of the highland flora, fauna, and human settlements.
From Gokyo Ri the trail continues to cross moraine and glacier debris, passing through numerous small villages situated above enormous cliffs. The trail often lies on a stone pathway, rather than on a trail that may be stepped upon bypassing trekkers, which often leads to snow melting from the surrounding mountains. This encourages waterfalls to plunge off the rocks and down into the valley below. Many notable peaks and passes are visible from the pass including Cho Oyu, Lata Pokhari, Kongde Ri, Cholatse, and Ama Dablam dominating the far eastern horizon.
