Experience Gokyo Trek

The most magnificent and picturesque of the eastern mountain ranges rise above the well known town of Namche Bazaar, from whence trekkers travel toward the top of the world, Mt EVEREST. It towers over numerous panoramic peaks. The trek up to the summit of Kalapathar, which means "black rock", is a memorable up to 5545m. of elevation. The trek includes a visit to Gokyo lake and over Cho La (La means "pass") and leads you near Cho-Oyu base camp. These excursions will become some of the most memorable of your exotic experiences. During this trip, you will watch festivals and Sherpa customs, including the biggest and holiest worship celebrated at Tyangboche gompa.

With eight of the world's ten highest peaks, Nepal is loaded with spectacular mountains vistas. Everest trek is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world's highest mountain ( 8848m ) but also for its friendly Sherpa people, picturesque villages, great variety of cultures and traditions, colorful festivals and monasteries. The flora and fauna are other ornaments of the Sagarmatha National Park. The story of the yeti is still a mystery to the world from the Khumbu region.
