Overview

This adventure combines the absolute best of the Everest region into one epic loop. Visit the turquoise Gokyo Lakes, cross the snow-covered Cho La Pass, and stand at Everest Base Camp.

Why choose between the Gokyo Lakes and Everest Base Camp when you can do both? The Gokyo Cho La Pass Trek is the ultimate combination package, designed for adventurous travelers who want to see everything the Khumbu has to offer without missing a single highlight.

The journey starts on the quieter trails leading up to the turquoise lakes of the Gokyo Valley. After climbing Gokyo Ri for panoramic mountain views, you will take on the thrilling crossing of the Cho La Pass. This high-altitude pass is a snowy, rocky trail that connects Gokyo directly to the main Everest Base Camp route. Once across, you will join the trail to Gorakshep, stand at Everest Base Camp, and climb Kala Patthar for a classic sunrise view of Mount Everest. It is a complete, varied, and deeply rewarding trekking itinerary.
