Lukla to Gokyo

Gokyo Lake Trek is another renowned and breathtaking adventure in the Khumbu region.

The Gokyo Lake Trek is a stunning trekking adventure in Nepal, offering breathtaking views of the Everest region and its surrounding peaks. This trek takes you through the Khumbu Valley, leading to the serene Gokyo Lakes, a series of turquoise glacial lakes nestled at the foot of towering mountains. The trek offers a less crowded alternative to the Everest Base Camp trek, while still providing incredible panoramic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.

Along the way, trekkers pass through vibrant Sherpa villages, lush forests, and rugged alpine terrain. One of the highlights is the ascent to Gokyo Ri, a peak offering an unparalleled, 360-degree view of the Himalayan giants. The trek typically takes around 12-14 days and involves varying altitudes, reaching up to 5,357 meters (17,575 feet) at Gokyo Ri.

We just started and we need you!

This is a community project.

We count on our Sherpa people, in Khumbu and elsewhere, on visitors and stakeholders, to build this website and enrich it with useful and up-to-date information.
