Be part of this 12-day, guided trek and get the chance to visit the Gokyo Lakes, glistening bodies water high up in the Himalayas that are fed by the surrounding glaciers. Your journey starts in Kathmandu with a short flight to the airstrip in Lukla.
Hit the trail for Namche Bazaar and continue your journey to the Gokyo Valley via Dole and Machhermo to reach the Gokyo Lakes. Explore the glistening bodies of water and enjoy stunning views of the Himalayas from Gokyo Ri before heading back to Lungden via the Renjo La Pass. Then continue your downhill journey via Thame and Namche to reach Lukla, from where you will catch your flight home.
The Gokyo Valley is home to six glacial lakes that hold special significance to both Hindus and Buddhists. It is also known for Gokyo Ri (5,357m), which offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Although not as well known as Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, the views of Mount Everest from Gokyo Ri are said to surpass those from Kala Patthar. Other peaks that you can see from Gokyo Ri include Mount Cho Oyo (8,153m), Mount Makalu (8,475m) and Mount Lhotse (8,511m).
The other highlight of this trip is the Ngozumba Glacier, the longest glacier in Nepal that is also the source of the lakes in the Gokyo Valley. The best months for this trek are from September to December and February to May.
This 16-day trek through the Himalayas, without reaching Everest Base Camp, is a journey filled with breathtaking landscapes and rewarding physical challenge. With stunning mountain views and varied terrain, it’s a memorable experience for those ready to face the altitude and enjoy the natural beauty of the region.
Treks in the Everest region are one of the most popular in the world. However, it also makes it a crowded affair. On this 20-day Everest High Passes trek, take an exhilarating adventure in the Himalayas that not only includes popular Everest trails but also lets you discover unique gems of the Khumbu region.
On our trekking adventure, we cross three high passes in the region: Kongma La Pass (5,535 m/18,159 ft), Cho La Pass (5,420 m/17,782 ft) and Renjo La Pass (5,340 m/17,520 ft). We will also reach the Everest Base Camp, climb Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri as well as tour the six Gokyo Lakes. This route also introduces trekkers to the remote and untouched Nangpa La Valley, the Sherpa village of Marlung and the monastery village of Thame.
Everest High Passes Trek is an ideal choice for true adventure seekers looking for a challenging trek in the Everest region of Nepal.
In November 2023 me and my friend embarked on a bucket list adventure. We booked a private tour for the drive in and out EBC via Gokyo Ri trip. Right from the get go everything was smooth, the communication at the head office made it appear there was no time difference between the U.K. and Nepal.
Upon arriving in Nepal the pick up from the airport and briefing were clear and to the point with no delays or issues. The trek itself has definitely been one of the most beautiful and difficult things I have ever embarked upon and I have NO regrets with my choice in agency or itinerary!
My tour guide for the 3 week package we booked and every day he stayed happy, tried his best to keep our spirits uplifted and made sure all the little things behind the scenes were sorted so all we had to do was focus on the trek itself. I highly recommend having him as a tour guide especially if you’re trekking in the Everest Region. Also, our Porter deserves a special shout-out for showing the strength of these Nepalese people, much stronger than I could imagine to be.
I highly recommend this local tour operator! We took 18 days trek to Everest Base Camp and 3 High Passes in November and the experience was just amazing. We had everything professionally organized by Chris: transportation (including flight to Lukla), food and lodging, permits, you name it... The contact with the company was always quick and easy, Chris was super helpful and everything went smoothly. We were even provided with really good and warm sleeping bags and jackets! Our guide Lakpa was really experienced and knowledgeable, he showed us some of the most incredible places we've ever seen, helped us through all the though parts of the trail and was always there to answer questions and offer advice. We felt really well taken care for every step of the way. We're already planning our next trek in Nepal and we'll most definitely come back to Nepal.

I am glad to say that I did the Dolpo after a few friends recommended me. Booking with the operator was an easy process and they replied to all my queries on email instantly. I didn't know what to do and when they suggested that I do this trek based on my interest, I blindly trusted them on this tour. And I should say, I made no mistake with that. My guide was informative and responsive to all my needs and wellness. Everything went beyond my expectation right from the moment I was given a warm welcome in the airport until the time I got back home. Words fall short when I have to thank them for all the hospitality I was provided. Thank you team out there. I'll be back soon for a similar trek in future.

I was lucky enough to recently visit Nepal and decided to book the Everest helicopter tour with this local tour company. It was by far one of the most incredible and memorable experiences of my life! From the moment I was picked up in Kathmandu, to being dropped back off after my scenic flight, everything was perfect. Just Breathlessly beautiful.
I had seen Everest from more angles and vistas that I could have thought possible, far surpassing views from any trek.
As we flew back and the Himalayan mountains faded into the distance, I had a feeling of gratitude, all thanks to the wonderful staff at this company for providing such an amazing opportunity as part of my trip to Nepal. This is going to be the most cherished travel memories!
Join us on this 19-day, guided expedition that combines Everest Base Camp trek with Lobuche East Peak climb. While many travelers know about Everest Base Camp, few are aware of the hidden gem that is Lobuche East, a mountain close to the Khumbu Glacier that offers stunning views of Ama Dablam, Tawache and other peaks in the Himalayas.
Your journey starts from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, from where you will take the flight to Lukla followed by a hike through the trail that eventually leads to Everest Base Camp via Phakding, Namche, Tengboche and Dingboche.
Enjoy panoramic views of the Himalayas from Kala Patthar before making your way to Lobuche East High Camp. Summiting Lobuche East involves climbing steep, snowy slopes. Although it is not compulsory that you have an earlier climbing experience, a good level of physical fitness is a must.
You will get the chance to learn more about mountain climbing at Everest Base Camp, where experienced mountain guides will help you with the fundamentals of mountaineering and impart skills needed for a successful summit attempt.
Please note that climbing Lobuche East is meant for physically fit people. For more details, please scroll down.

Llegamos a Nepal con una plan de trekking poco viable y con la ayuda de esta agencia reorganizamos nuestra estancia, resultando todo un éxito. Desde el primer momento, entras en un clima familiar, de confianza y seguridad de estar contratando un buen servicio, gracias a la atención diaria y trato cercano de Gokul. Nos tramitaron los billetes de KTM a Lukla y ante algunos pequeños imprevistos, siempre contamos con su respuesta immediata. En medio de nuestro trekking por libre, contratamos la actividad de ascención al Lobuche Peak. Destacar la flexibilidad y adaptación a nuestras necesidades, y también la profesionalidad de Phuri, gran climbing guide y mejor persona! En resumen, estamos muy contentos con el trato de esta agencia y sin duda lo recomendamos al 100%. Namaste Gokul y equipo 🙏
Ama Dablam BC Trek was the best and wonderful trek ever. We walked here on a trek with my family. An awesome experience with friendly local all the way. Spectacular scenery.
