Gokyo Lake Trek

Nepal is a trekking paradise and offers a plethora of climbing routes that will leave you spellbound. One such trekking route is the Gokyo Lake Trek, which is part of the Everest region treks. The tour takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Himalayas reaching the beautiful Gokyo Lake. If you are looking for an adventure that will take you away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Gokyo Lake Trek is a must-do trek.

The Gokyo Lake Trek is a moderate hike that requires a basic level of fitness. This trek will take you through steep climbs and downhills, but with the right preparation and training, anyone can complete the trek. The trip begins with a scenic flight to Lukla, followed by a hike through the Dudh Koshi River valley.

Hike to Gokyo Ri 5360m

Route to Gokyo Lake takes you through beautiful pine forests, Sherpa villages, and suspension bridges. You’ll pass through Namche Bazaar, a gateway for Everest Region Treks. A hike to Gokyo Ri offers a breathtaking view of Mt Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu (More than 8000 meters). Likewise, also enjoy the great view of Ngozumpa Glacier (the longest glacier in the Himalayas), Deep valley, and surrounding views.

Main highlights:

Breathtaking mountain views: The trek offers breathtaking panoramic views of some of the world’s tallest mountains including Mount Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,516m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), and Makalu (8,463m). View from Gokyo Ri, an observation point at 5,360m above sea level, is particularly popular.

Lake Gokyo: The trek will take you to a series of fascinating lakes known as Gokyo Lakes. These blue lakes are located at high altitudes and are a sight to behold.

Sherpa Culture and Tradition: Along the walking route, you will have a chance to experience the unique Sherpa culture and its warm hospitality. You can visit traditional Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar and interact with the locals, understanding their lifestyle, traditions, and customs are influenced by Buddhism.

Sagarmatha National Park: This trek is part of Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the snow leopard and the red panda. Walking through the park allows you to appreciate its natural beauty and conservation efforts.

Overcome difficulties: The trip includes passing difficult altitude passes, such as Chola Pass (5,420m) or Renjo La Pass (5,360m), depending on the particular route chosen. These passes offer thrilling adventures and incredible views but require good climbing and acclimatization experience.

Everest Base Camp 5364m:

Although this trek does not lead directly to Everest Base Camp. It can be combined with a detour to this iconic destination. If you have enough time and energy, you can extend your trip to Everest Base Camp and experience the spirit of climbing up close.

Scenic spots: During your hike, you will encounter various landscapes including verdant forests, rocky terrain, moors, and icy valleys. Contrasting landscapes add to the appeal of the ride and create memorable moments for trekkers.

Experience from afar and cross the beaten path: While the Everest Base Camp trek attracts a large number of travelers, the trek offers a quieter, less crowded alternative. The trail is relatively quiet, allowing you to enjoy the serenity of the mountains and immerse yourself in nature.

Best time to do Gokyo Trek:

The best time to do Gokyo Lake Trek is in the spring and fall. The months of March to May and September to November offer ideal climate conditions and breathtaking views of the mountains. At this time, temperatures are mild and the skies are clear, making it perfect for trekking. Mainly, Summer months can be rainy and winter months are harsh and snowy, making hiking difficult.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Gokyo Lake Trek is a must for anyone who loves trekking and wants to experience the beauty of the Himalayas. With the right planning, training, and guidance from Himalaya Darshan Treks, you can make your dream of walking across Lake Gokyo come true. So, pack your bags, put on your hiking boots, and start exploring the magnificent Himalayan landscapes.

Responses & Ratings


One Reply to “Gokyo Lake Trek”

  1. I could not have hoped for a better guide—Gyan knows every rock and tree of the Himalayas, having been a guide for many years, a porter before that and a local to the Kumbhu region. Gyan has been walking the trails of the Everest region since he was a child, and his experience and knowledge is absolutely invaluable to those lucky enough to have him as their guide.

    I did a 15-day trek to Gokyo Lakes and EBC. With weather delays, flights to Lukla were cancelled four days in a row. Gyan saved the day for me and two others affected by the cancellations by arranging ground transportation to the trail.

    After that, everything went smoothly and according to plan. Thanks to Gyan and his extensive knowledge of the area and genuine desire to show off his beautiful home country, my trek was a great success and despite setbacks, I was able to complete everything I set out to do—in record time no less!

    Gyan speaks superb english, so although the trails were quiet, I always had someone to talk to about Everest, local traditions or life in general.

    The EBC trek is not easy, but it’s worth it: challenging, uncomfortable, and cold. Gyan will do everything he can to make it as comfortable and successful a journey as possible whatever your goals may be—including safety and peace of mind.

    I cannot stress enough how well Gyan knows these mountains, which can make or break the trip depending on weather, closures, trail maintenance and many other factors out of our control. With Gyan, we always knew exactly where we were going, the best teahouses and pit stops, and what was possible or not based on the season, weather etc. His knowledge was absolutely invaluable—so much so that I’m certain my itinerary would have been impossible with any other guide.

    I wouldn’t think of hiring anyone else as a trekking guide, and I look forward to doing more trekking with Himalaya Darshan!

    Thank you, Gyan!
