Gokyo Ri Trek

14 Days

Overview

The trek of a passionate trekker is not complete without Gokyo Ri and some of the highest fresh water lakes in the world, situated idyllically in the Khumbu region of the greater Himalayan range, in the vicinity of the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest.

Besides the exacting trek that all trekkers look forward to, the Gokyo trek is coveted by those who have been there, as one gets an unscathed view of not only the five lakes of various sizes, but also the trek up to Gokyo Ri (a small peak in the local dialect), where the bonanza is a circuitous view of a number of peaks such as Cho Oyu, Gyachung Kang, Lhotse, Makalu, Cholatse and Tawachee, and what more, Mount Everest from a north-western angle.

The crowning glory of it all is that it is less frequented by other trekkers. This is why the Brahminy Duck has spent so much time in the lakes. The Kharkas (small pastoral lands) that dot the Gokyo valley trek Not to forget the cave where you get the first view of Gokyo lakes.
