Turquoise glacial lakes and a panoramic summit view of four 8,000m peaks in the Khumbu
The Gokyo Lake Trek takes you into the Gokyo Valley, a quieter branch of the Khumbu that most EBC trekkers never explore. The six Gokyo Lakes sit beside the Ngozumpa Glacier, Nepal's largest, at elevations between 4,700m and 5,000m. They are designated a Ramsar site and are sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists. The summit of Gokyo Ri at 5,357m delivers what many consider the finest panoramic view in the Himalayas: four 8,000m peaks including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu visible simultaneously. Compared to the EBC trail, it is less busy, more varied in scenery and rarely anything less than spectacular.
Morning mountain flight then an easy riverside walk. 3 to 4 hours.
Cross the Hillary Bridge, enter Sagarmatha National Park and climb to Namche. 6 hours.
