The Gokyo Everest Base Camp Trek is a dream come true for those who crave adventure and unspoiled Himalayan beauty. Combining the best of the Everest Base Camp route with the scenic detour to Gokyo’s pristine lakes, this journey follows the Dudh Kosi river and rewards trekkers with solitude and staggering mountain vistas. Stand atop Gokyo Ri, widely regarded as the finest viewpoint in the region, where four 8,000-meter peaks—including Everest—dominate the skyline. Cross the dramatic Cho La pass, visit the legendary Ngozumpa Glacier, and immerse yourself in Sherpa culture along quieter trails. With experienced guides ensuring your safety and acclimatization, this trekking tour’s highlight is its unique blend of iconic sights and peaceful, less-trodden paths—perfect for those seeking both the thrills and serenity of the Himalayas.

Amazing Gokyo EBC Trek with Venn and Sandeep!!

The trek was amazing, the nature and landscape are so beautiful as you can see on the photos! The trip was perfectly managed by Rajendra, the itinerary was very good. Venn our guide and Sandeep our porter were very professional and kind, we had great time together. Venn knows very well the area so he explained to us the mountains, the itinerary, and shared good and interesting conversations about life in Nepal. Thank you so much, we will never forget this moment!

Realising a dream

Excellent round trip taking you up a beautiful, but far less busy valley. Challenges abound with Gokyo Ri, Chola Pass, Kala Pathan to add to base camp.

All plans are basis for changes - the journey is well rewarding

Due to weather conditions, we had to start the trip not as planned, adding few days for the original schedule (all flights to Lukla were canceled); in addition, Chola pass was closed for few days, so we had to change our plans and do only the EBC part. we met also other tourists which were waiting for a week in Namche bazzar for the weather to get better, but eventually, had to change their plans as well. the trek was a great experience and my best advice is to come in October onward and not to count on the statistics on September.

Amazing Gokyo Ri Three Passes Solo Trek

I had the most amazing opportunity to do the Everest Three Passes with a local travel agency. Coming to Nepal as a solo female, I was a little hesitant trusting just any organization... but within seconds of my first communication I felt relieved and excited to start my trek into the Himalayas. The experience was one of the most memorable of my lifetime...
