Gokyo Lakes Trek Tours in November 2026

The Gokyo Ri/Renjo La trek met all of my expectations. We had issues getting to Lukla with a closed highway to Ramecamp & then poor weather causing flights to be delayed, however, Bikash (our guide) managed to sort out helicopters so that the trek could occur. Weather was perfect with clear skies in the morning & some cloud in the afternoons, making for great viewing of mountains such as Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu & Everest. Accommodation & food was very good with hot showers available at some locations (for additional $). Some people experienced issues with altitude with one couple having to be helicoptered out at Gokyo. Bikash again sorted all of this out. Would certainly rate this trek as challenging, especially the 3&1/2hr climb up to Gokyo Ri - 800m straight up. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip & rate it as one of the best treks in the Himalayas given that I have also done Annapurna circuit, Kanchenjunga & Laya via Gasa trek in Bhutan. Final call out for the WEX team of guides, cooks & porters who worked hard & were always very professional.

A well-designed trek with carefully planned stages and acclimatization days. The guide was professional, experienced, attentive, encouraging, and reassuring. It was an exceptional experience with a very warm and friendly atmosphere. The pace was well-adapted—we traveled as a family, with parents aged 69 and a son aged 34.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Everest Circuit & the Cho La in Comfort trek, the orgsnisation was very efficient, the views were amazing and the camaraderie with the guides and other trekkers added to the enjoyment of the trek.

My Everest Circuit + Cho La in Comfort trek was amazing! The scenery was spectacular and so was the way we were looked after by the World Expedition team. We didn't quite make it to Basecamp due to being snowed in at the base of the Cho La Pass so that was a bit disappointing, but our guide Tschering had done his best to get us there until it became too much of a safety issue to continue. We had to head down via a different but safe circuit with the scenery even more amazing with the fresh cover of snow. It was a very challenging trek, especially for a 70 year old, but I never felt like my age was an issue to Tshering and assistant guide Santos. Our cook did a fantastic job with just basic equipment and the meals were always amazing and as much as we could eat. So all up a fantastic experience and I am highly recommending World Expeditions to everyone I talk to about my trek.

This trek was the most challenging and most amazing outdoor adventure I’ve ever undertaken. Samde, our guide, took such good care of our group of 15 that spanned ages from 23 to 73. He is so kind, pleasant, knowledgeable, encouraging, and caring, and if I ever find myself trekking in Nepal again I would definitely want him as my guide. I must also acknowledge the help I received from Rajan, an assistant guide who helped me immeasurably on the day we crossed the Renjo La and the subsequent longer days of walking. All the guides, cooks, and porters were exceptional and were so attentive to our every need. I cannot say enough good about the whole team from World Expeditions. From being awoken with a cup of hot tea, to being served three amazing, plentiful meals a day, to being handed hot drinks as we came in from a challenging day of trekking, to being brought warm washing water, to carrying not one but two fully loaded duffle bags…they did all this with kindness and caring. The rocky trails were definitely challenging for me and some of the uphill and downhill climbs were arduous for this 67 year old, but Samde knew how to pace the group and provide encouragement so that we all finished the trek happy and healthy. I will remember forever with fondness the day we sang a few songs with Samde as he strummed the guitar at one of our tea house breaks as trekkers and mule trains passed by on the trail. I enjoyed camping in the eco-camps surrounded by beautiful views but I also enjoyed the nights we spent in tea houses. The dining halls at the eco-camps are permanent structures and were all quite comfortable. As the weather got colder in the higher elevations, I was grateful for the warm sleeping bag and down jacket that World Expeditions provides, and even though it got cold overnight I was always warm enough in the tents and unheated teahouse rooms. I was grateful for the relative solitude of the trails after we split off from the main EBC trail. If you are looking to challenge yourself on a Himalayan trek, I highly recommend this Gokyo/Renjo La trek with World Expeditions.

A truly incredible experience! I loved every aspect of this trek. The guide team, led by Samde, were so knowledgeable, energetic and always took great care of us. The cooking team made sure we were never hungry, I really loved enjoying the local cuisine in particular. The porter team were so impressive, carrying our bags everyday. The campsites were a particular highlight for me, I loved being able to camp beneath mountains, waking up with hot tea to the most beautiful views. The tents are very well insulated, so I was never cold given we had fleece liners and warm sleeping bags provided by World Expeditions as well. The tea houses on the campsites were beautifully maintained and made for excellent venues for end of day card games with the tour group. The trek itself was wonderful. Hiking slow, ensuring we were well rested and acclimatised. Gokyo and Renjo La Pass are sights to behold. Everyday the views are better than the day before. Samde and the team made sure everything ran like clockwork, we got very lucky with flights into/out of Lluka. I can't fault this trip. Thank you so much to the World Expeditions team and all the local staff for making this such an incredible experience. I can't recommend this trek enough!
