This ideal trek provides plenty of opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking view of Everest including several other similar peaks and to explore the Buddhist monasteries settled at the world’s highest elevation.
This unique trek takes you to the home of the legendary Sherpa people, on the foothill of the highest peak of the world, the Mt. Everest at 8848 meters. 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 gives the benefit to summit Gokyo Peak (5483 meters) offering a fantastic panoramic view of Cho Oyo, Everest and Makalu etc.. During traveling through Khumbu Himal, Gokyo valley and the Chola 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 5330 meters. As we cross the Cho-La Pass, we then return back to Lukla following the route through Everest Base Camp, Kala Pathar and Tyangbouche monastery, Khumjung village and Namche Bazar.
This is more than moderate level trekking and demands strong physical fitness for complete the trek successfully. The difficulty of the trek also depends on the seasons while you are trekking, i.e. if you wish to trek during winter or monsoon, you have to face more difficulties in Himalayas. Acute Mount Sickness is the more common problem many avid trekkers face in high elevation, so we recommend you to drink plenty of water and walk not so rapidly in the Himalayas in order to minimize the risk of AMS.
This trek is considered as the best during autumn and spring seasons, because in winter and monsoon, the high passes might get closed due to heavy snowfall and extreme cold temperatures. Autumn and spring season are also well known for offering alluring natural beauties in a crystal clear sky.
On the first day of the trek, you will arrive in Kathmandu, Nepal, at 1350m and transfer to the hotel with a breakfast plan.
