Everest Gokyo Ri-Chola Pass Trek

18 Days

The Everest Gokyo Ri Chola Pass Trek is a challenging adventure that offers a unique opportunity to experience the magnificence of the Himalayas. It is a variation of the classic Everest Base Camp trek and involves hiking through the Sherpa villages, mountain passes, glaciers, and pristine lakes.

The trek starts with a scenic mountain flight to Lukla, followed by a trek to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region. From there, the trail follows the Dudh Koshi River to reach the stunning Gokyo Valley. The ascent to Gokyo Ri (5,357m) offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Himalayan range, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and others.

The highlight of the trek is the crossing of the Chola Pass (5,420m), which offers a challenging yet rewarding experience. The pass provides stunning views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. The trek also includes a visit to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, which offer the closest view of Everest possible without climbing it.

Overall, the Everest Gokyo Ri Chola Pass Trek is a great opportunity for adventurous travelers to experience the majestic beauty and spiritual culture of the Himalayas.
