Itinerary

If you dream of turquoise glacial lakes and panoramic Himalayan views, the Gokyo Lake Trek in Nepal’s Everest region is calling your name. This moderate-level adventure is perfect for spirited trekkers—young adults and the young-at-heart—who crave both natural wonder and a sense of achievement.

The route leads into Gokyo Valley, famed for its chain of crystal-clear lakes set against a backdrop of soaring peaks. A highlight is the sunrise ascent of Gokyo Ri (5,340m), one of the region’s best viewpoints, revealing sweeping vistas of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and more.

Along the way, you’ll savor close encounters with Sherpa culture and witness some of the world’s tallest mountains up close. This trek’s unique selling point is its combination of serene lakes, dramatic scenery, and the chance to summit a classic Himalayan viewpoint—an unforgettable trip for adventure seekers.
