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.

Annapurna Circuit
Unfortunately, due to weather conditions our trip to Gokyo Lake was canceled. Mr Prakash arranged in very short notice a new trek to Annapurna Circuit. In this way, we didn't lose too much time to still enjoy beautiful Nepal. Service provided by Nepal Guide Treks & Expedition was excellent. Everything was arranged nicely. No comments at all. Especially I want to thank our guide (Krishna Malla) and our porters (Birendra Malla and Tilak Malla) being such professional, nice, funny and friendly guys who helped us with everything during our trek.
Great Trekking Experience in Gokyo Lake Trek
We are direct flight from Thailand to Nepal. We pick up by hotel representative. then our trekking organized i.e. Nepal Guide Treks. We met Mr. Prakash Devkota(owner of Nepal Guide Treks), he told us about everything of Gokyo lake trek and also met with our guide, Krishna. We had a fantastic time on our trek to Gokyo lake. That was awesome trekking experience I ever had. From that height around 5000 m, we saw view of Mount Everest and other snow capped mountain. When he mentioned that was perfect time to visit the Gokyo lake and view of surround was stunning. Next day, we fly to the Lukla then we trek 5-6 hrs every day with various landscapes up to Gokyo Ri above 5340 meters sea level. When we saw sunrise view from Gokyo Ri, that was magnificent.Our guide and porter was cheerful and always smiling face. Everything went according to our itinerary. Without any complain in service provided to us by Nepal Guide treks. Thanks, NGT having a great teams and staff doing very well to us during trekking.

Highly Recommend Trip: Gokyo Lake Trek
Gokyo Lake Trek, One of the best treks I ever done. That was amazing and awesome trekking experience for me and also trekking above 5000 m that was the first time. I already trekking around in my home town Los angles area but not that much. The trek was done right at the first week of April and the weather was amazing. It is my first time trekking at a moderately difficult terrain and my guide - Anjan, concerned for me. He was very helpful and young man. Anjan show the great views and facts about of Gokyo valley and Everest region. To seeing the breathtaking image of my own eyes of Gokyo and also seeing close view of Mt. Everest and himalayan range. The trek was refreshing, inspiring and lifelong memory for me. It is my advice to everyone to do treks in Nepal at least once because it is certainly worth it. Nepal Guide Treks provides me best of services and arrangements. I didn't worry about anything during trek and Anjan manage everything to me in the trek.

I visited a lot of countries in a past year but not yet Nepal.So I make my mind to visit Nepal with my Wife Sarah in 2017.Finally, I fulfill my wish to visit Nepal. This is my first time with my wife to visit Nepal. My friends recommend me to visit Gokyo valley Trek or Annapurna Circuit Trek to visit this place and company who can organize our Trip i.e. Nepal guide Treks also recommended by my friend.But, we choose a Gokyo Valley Trek to see To explore the remoteness and heaven of nature. So, Me and my Wife travel with our guide Dendi Sherpa and porter, on Gokyo valley.I amaze the view of surrounding area and highest mountain "Mount Everest" that was a beautiful moment for me.
