Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri Trek is a beautiful journey to the enticing Gokyo lakes and Gokyo Ri, which is one of the most amazing viewpoints for great views of Mt. Everest and other Himalayan peaks. The 14-day trip begins in Kathmandu, where we visit several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri Trek is an alternative to classical treks in the Everest region. Instead, it takes us to the turquoise Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri, which provides exceptional views of Mt. Everest and other Himalayan peaks. We also get to marvel at the massive Ngozumpa Glacier and the Gokyo Valley from Gokyo Ri.
Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri trek is for those who like to walk in the Everest region without the physical stress of reaching Everest Base Camp or crossing high passes in the vicinity. It is instead for travelers who wish to try something new in the Everest region.
