Trekkers are requested to follow a certain schedule to cover all the aspects of the Gokyo Cho La Pass Trek with the help of guides and porters to lead the way. Since the trek is at a certain height and cannot be done in a hurry, resting and sightseeing in Kathmandu after a few days of arrival is suggested. Also known as the Everest Circuit trek, Gokyo Cho La Pass trek requires patience and a leisure hike to truly enjoy the Himalayas. A short 35 min flight takes you to Lukla then places like Namche Bazaar, Gokyo Valley, Cho La Pass, and Kala Patthar come in the way before returning to Namche Bazaar again.
The beautiful tranquil Gokyo Lake is the starting of the wonderful experience that the Trek provides. Not to forget the Khumbu Valley that welcomes you with friendly Sherpa service and love. Even if ascending Everest is not possible, Kala Patthar allows you to closely view the authenticity of the world’s highest peak, Mt Everest. The famous monastery that is present at Tengboche is also worth visiting as it reflects the monk’s daily routine and the Sherpa culture. The major perk is the peaks like Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Thamserku, Mt. Kangana, Mt. Kwangde, Mt. Nuptse, etc that introduces you to the unbeatable charisma of Himalayas.
