The Gokyo Lake and Everest Base camp is probably the most famous trekking in the world.  Deep in the Himalaya, in a quiet, remote valley are the magnificent azure blue Gokyo Lakes. This string of http://www.adventureexplore.com glacial lakes is set in beautiful high-altitude wilderness dominated by the great peaks of Cho Oyu (8153m.) and Gyachungkang (7922m). Less well-known than the main Everest trail, a trek in this valley provides stunning views of many Himalayan giants. We trek to Namche Bazaar, the colorful Sherpa capital and from here leave the main trails and enter the quieter Gokyo Valley. An early morning ascent of Gokyo Ri (5360m.) is the highpoint of the trek and we are rewarded by an amazing 360° view of the region's 8000m peaks.  We rejoin the classic route to Everest Case Camp used by all the great climbing parties when attempting the peak from the Nepalese side. There is ample time for acclimatization, and at the higher altitudes we are able to get well away from the most trekked areas. Our aim is to visit the Everest Base Camp 5245 meter area on the Khumbu Glacier, as well as climbing Kala Pattar 5545 meter, which offers another fabulous view of Mt. Everest 8,848 meter along with a host of other great peaks.
