HIGHLIGHTS
  • Enjoy a stunning trek through one of the most beautiful regions in the Himalayas
  • Enjoy the best views of Mt. Everest from Gokyo Ri and Gokyo Lake
  • Discover remote mountain passes and untouched natural beauty
  • Become a part of a unique culture
Gokyo Cho La Pass serves as one of the finest adventures in the Gokyo valley region for adventure lovers who seek natural beauty and scenic diversity as well as rich cultures and ancient traditions.

Join this trek for some of the most stunning views of the Himalayas as we take you past beautiful valleys and deep gorges, majestic glaciers and glacial rivers and villages that have maintained ancient traditions and cultures since ages.

Start with cultural and historical sites in Kathmandu Valley, before heading to the immensely beautiful Gokyo Valley. The trek starts with a scenic flight over rolling hills and flowing rivers and you're treated to unparalleled views of the lofty Himalayas. Next up is a trek through old-world settlements to the Namche Bazaar. Prayer flags, prayer wheels and Mani stones, rhododendron forests, ancient monasteries and suspension bridges are just some of the things that keep you company on this trek.

Namche Bazaar is a bustling hub in the Khumbu region, the ideal place for acclimatization. Trekking continues to a higher altitude towards the ancient monasteries in Tengboche and Dingboche before we move on to the iconic Everest Base Camp.

Trekkers then return to Lobuche before going for Thangan through the challenging Cho La Pass. Witness marvelous mountain scenery from the pass, discover a unique culture and ancient tradition of the Sherpa community before ending your trek in the beautiful city of Kathmandu.

The formidable Cho La Pass (5,420m), the largest glacier of Ngozumba and Gokyo village (one of the highest settlements in the world) are some of the strong reasons to join this trek.

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.
