Overview

The Gokyo Lake Trek is a scenic Himalayan journey featuring turquoise alpine lakes, peaceful trails, Sherpa culture, and spectacular Everest views.

For travelers who want to see the Everest region without the busier crowds, the Gokyo Lake Trek is the perfect choice. This trail branches off the main path after Namche Bazaar, leading you into a peaceful valley where nature takes center stage.

The highlights of this trek are the six sacred, emerald-green lakes of Gokyo, sitting quietly beneath the massive peak of Cho Oyu. From the small lakeside village of Gokyo, you will trek up to the viewpoint at Gokyo Ri. Many experienced travelers argue that the view from Gokyo Ri is better than the one from Base Camp, as it lets you see four 8,000-meter peaks at once: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. You also get to cross the Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest glacier in the Nepal Himalayas. It is a dream destination for photographers and trekkers looking for a wilder feel.
