Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lake Trek Combine

Trip Overview


Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake Trek are outstanding attractions of the Everest zone in Nepal. Everest Base Camp is at an altitude of 5365 meters and is the foothill of Mount Everest, the tallest Mountain in the world. Everest Base Camp is the campsite used by Mount Everest climbers during their ascent and descent. Gokyo Lake at the height of 4790 meters is one of the most beautiful Himalayan pristine lakes west of Everest Base Camp.

Many trekkers visit these two wonderful sites on separate trips. But if you have a few days more time on a single trip both can be combined. The route combines Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake and is also called the Round Everest/ Everest Circuit trek. This trekking is a bit adventurous as it crosses a high mountain pass called Cho La at 5330 m/17487ft.

In the Everest Base Camp Cho La Pass Gokyo trek, you will get an opportunity to explore the most dramatic landscapes of the Everest zone. It offers the stunning vista of four of the world’s fourteen high peaks which are above 8000 meters above sea level. They are Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516 m), Makalu (8463m), and Cho Oyu (8201m). The awesome mountain views are complemented by the crossover Cho La Pass, climb to Gokyo Ri, and visit to pristine Gokyo Lake, Himalayan glaciers, Sherpa villages, and Buddhist monasteries.

The Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lake trek can be done in two ways. One is anti-clockwise. It means firstly you visit Everest Base Camp then crossing Cho La mountain pass you will go to explore Gokyo Lake. The second way is clockwise. In the clockwise trek, first, you trek to Gokyo Lake, then go to cross Cho La pass and visit Everest Base Camp. Thus, it is the choice of trekkers any option you can select.
