This adventurous trek is a great Himalayan experience in the Everest Region. The Gokyo Lake trek is one of the best treks in the upper reaches of the Khumbu region and an alternative to the well-known Everest Base Camp Trek. Witness magnificent Himalayan views over 8,000m including Mt. Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Makalu and Ngozumpa Glacier – the largest glacier in the Nepalese Himalayans. The turquoise-tinted and pristine green water of the Gokyo Lakes are a sight you will never forget!

Gokyo Lake Trek itinerary takes you through the natural habitat of Himalayan wildlife and emerges deep into Sagarmatha National Park, a World Heritage Site which encompasses almost the entire Everest region. The park is home to a variety of rare Himalayan floral and faunal species including mountain goats, pheasant, monal, musk deer, and pheasant (danphe) – the national bird of Nepal. Highly endangered Himalayan species like the red panda and elusive snow leopard are also inhabitants of the park.

Experience the wildlife, the stunning mountain views, and the unique culture and remote villages of this incredible part of the world.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
  • How much money do I need to bring with me?

    Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

  • Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

    There are no quarantine requirements in Nepal for arriving visitors at the moment.

  • How much should my backpack weigh?

    A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.  

  • Do I need a porter?

    The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.

  • Do I require a porter for carrying water?

    On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
