Gokyo to Everest Base Camp trek via Cho La Pass

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.

The Everest Three High Passes trek was very challenging but empowering. Nimesh our guide was very knowledgable, professional and aware of each members' ability and condition, and paced our group and set out the itinerary accordingly. This was the third time we have used this tour operator and as always this trek was professionally organised and meticulously run. Our porters Govinda, Pradip and Biresh were strong and capable, always polite and able to lend a helping hand and smile when needed. The views from the Passes are exceptional and mind blowing. You literally sit amid the giants of the world's mountains, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. If you are fit and capable, and want something a little more challenging than the "up and Down" Everest Base Camp experience, this is for you.
