Gokyo over Cho-la Pass, Kalapathar, Everest Base Camp Trekking
The Trek to Gokyo offers an alternative
to the traditional trek to the Everest Base Camp. From
Gokyo more of Everest is visible, though from a slightly
greater distance, than from either Kala Pattar. The
mountains are even more spectacular in the Gokyo valley,
and four 8000m peaks - Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu
are visible an one time.
The view of the tremendous ice
ridge between Cho-Oyu and Gyachung Kang (7622m) is one of
the most dramatic panoramas in the Khumbu. There are many
options for additional exploration and high altitude
walking include the crossing of the Cho-La Pass, at 5420m
one of the high pass in Solukhumbu. We can also combine
the Gokyo trek with visits to Base Camp or Kala Pattar for
a closer view of the great mountain's features.
