Everest Gokyo Lake Trekking

[Global Holidays Adventure]

The crowds, commercialism and nightly competition for beds is driving many trekkers away from the more famous Everest Base Camp Trek into. the arms of the lovely Gokyo Lake. This two week spectacular climb almost as high as the Everest Base Camp and offers similarly jew-dropping Everest views. But the trails are less crowded the lodge qtieter and the villages along the trail have a Reason to exist over and above serving adhl bhat to legio of hungry trekkers.

The Trails follows the Everest base camp rote as far as Sanasa, above Namche Bazzer. and Then follows the Dudhkhosi to Its source - a series of emerald green lakes beside the largest of these lakes in a basin of snow peaks, Gokyo Valley is a more satisfying destination than the Gorak Shep, not least because it is a proper Sherpa village, complete with huge herds of yaks.

From Gokyo you can climb Gokyo Ri (5360 M) for a heart stopping views over Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu and Makalu, or continue north along the valley to the highest of the sacred lakes. Either way, sense of communing with nature is more profound then on the Everest Base Camp Trekking.
