Gokyo
& Kalapathar via Cho La pass itinerary, one of Nepal's most
famous treks to the Khumbu Mountains & Sherpa country. After a
magnificent mountain flight to Lukla we follow the Dudh Kosi
valley to Namche Bazaar. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent
up the valley passing through patches of birch and rhododendron
forest where the elusive musk deer can sometimes be seen.
Through small yak-grazing settlements we reach the Gokyo lakes
where we climb the Gokyo Peak (5480m) and enjoy stunning summit
mountain scenery including Everest, Makalu and Cho Oyo. After
the Cho La pass, we reach Dzongla. The views of Ama Dablam and
Taweche are spectacular. After the Zhongla ascent, we continue
towards Gorak Shep and climb to Kala Pattar (5545m) from where
we enjoy an impressive up-close view of Everest. Our return
route passes through Tengboche, a magnificent location with a
fascinating monastery, where we rest and savor the incredible
scenery, including magnificent views of Everest, Ama Dablam
(6856m), Kantega (6809m), Kwangde (6194m), Nuptse (7879m),
Lhotse (8511m) and many more…
