Highlights
Package Discription
The Gokyo Lakes trek is a great alternative to escape the crowds on the Everest Base Camp trek. For many tourists the idea of making it to Everest Base camp is something romantic. As a result, you will find hundreds of people on the trail in the high season.
But the Gokyo Lakes trek is not only a more quiet option if you want to escape the crowds. It also offers superb scenery. The sight of the turquoise lakes is mesmerizing and from the top of Gokyo Ri you can see 4 peaks above 8000 meters. First of all Everest, but also Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu.
Itinerary
Trek from Namche Bazaar to Dole
After a full day of acclimatization at Namche Bazaar, the trip to Dole will begin (3,445m). The trail from Namche Bazaar to Dole is beautiful, and it gets better with each step you go. You'll reach Kyanjuma village after leaving Namche and passing through an alpine and Rhododendron-heavy forest. You'll take a little snack break there.
Day 02: Trek from Dole to Machhermo
After there, you'll join a trail that's a little difficult and runs close above the gorge of the Dudh Koshi river. The breathtaking vistas of Ama Dablam, Mt Everest, and Lhotse will begin to appear from that height. Mong La Pass (3,972m) will provide you with greater views. The trail then descends to Phortse Thenga before arriving in Phortse. You'll arrive in Dole after several hours of trekking through lush woodland and verdant farms (4,040m). Remember to take in the breathtaking sunset vista from Dole.For the time being, you'll depart Dole and begin your journey to Machhermo. Today's hike will include some difficult sections, so eat a good breakfast. The smell of the Juniper trees in the woodland will keep you soaring. The icy-rocky section of Ngozumpa Glacier, as well as the mountains, may be seen along the way. Machhermo is our final destination (4,410m)
Day 03: Trek from Machhermo to Gokyo village
With each step forward, the valley appears to spread and become more gorgeous. The walk will take you to the Dudh Koshi river's bank. You'll approach the steep stretch of Ngozumpa Glacier from the bank. After several hours of arduous ascent, you'll arrive at the first Gokyo lake. Before arriving in Gokyo village, you'll go through the region's fields. Because the Dudh Pokhari, one of the Gokyo lakes, lies close to the village, the region around it is breathtaking to see. As some people claim, the splendor of Gokyo valley will intoxicate you.
Trek from Gokyo village through Gokyo Ri to Thangnak
The Namche Bazaar to Gokyo Trek will be completed one way on this day. From here, you can add the Everest Base Camp Trek to your itinerary. If you want to include it, proceed to Thangnak after ascending Gokyo Ri. If not, you'll have to backtrack from Gokyo Ri to Gokyo village and retrace your steps to Namche.
