Overview:

“Gokyo Lake Trekking – Magnificent Blue Turquoise Lake Excursion”

Gokyo Lake Trekking in Nepal is alluring. Among beautiful trekking routes of Everest region the trail is the most beautiful one. Behold the blue turquoise lake reflecting the serene snowcapped mountains. Everest Buddha Treks invites trekkers to this fairyland like trekking trail of Nepal. 

Everest region of Nepal is popular for Himalayan wilderness trekking. Sherpa homeland to mountain base camp; the region has it all. Do you have a fantasy of being at the shore of mountain overlooking mighty snowy mountains? If yes, Gokyo Valley Trek is the perfect anecdote. 

Journey of Gokyo Lake Trekking adopts the Everest Base Camp Trekking itinerary until Namche Bazaar. Trekkers traverse away from the regular EBC route from Kyangjuma. The trail is on the ridge line within the narrow valley overlooking Mt. Cholatse and Tabuche. 

The breathtaking view of Mt. Choyou (world’s 6th tallest mountain) at the trail end keeps on motivating the trekkers. In comparison to other trekking routes of Everest region Gokyo route is easier. Therefore, it is suitable for every trekker with an average physical fitness too. However, one needs to consider the altitude sickness as trekker has to reach as high as 5357 m (top of Gokyo Ri). 

There are many interlinked lakes within the Gokyo Lake system. During the trek trekkers reach up to fifth lake. Accommodation is at the shores of third lake which is famous as Gokyo Lake. 

Gokyo Ri Hike

Hiking of Gokyo Ri enthralls everyone. It is one of the best vantage points of Khumbu. Panoramic view of mountains seen on all sides definitely hype up the trip. Moreover, the view of lake seen from the top reminds you of any scene from Disney movies. In fact the area is a photographer’s paradise. Highlight of the Gokyo Ri Hike is also the sight of Mt. Makalu along with three other eight thousand meter height mountains. 

Book the Gokyo Lake Trekking package with Everest Buddha Treks. If you would like to add the Chola Pass crossing and Everest Base Camp along with this package, contact our travel planners. This is also one of the most popular side trips which you can do from Gokyo Lake.
