Trekking to Everest: A Combo Hike

A combo trek to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Ri

An alternative to the traditional trek to the Everest base camp is offered. This is when it is combined with a trek to Gokyo Ri as well. From Kala Pattar, which is above Gorakshep, one gets to see the colossal height of Everest as well as view it from another dimension. It is best viewed from a slightly longer distance from an elevated height.

So this combo trek gives one a three-dimensional view of Everest-close up, and from different angles.

The western side of the valley has trails which pass through settlements used by herders during the summer months to circumnavigate the massive Ngozumpa Glacier and get to a number of lakes. Gokyo is one such summer herding settlement with several inns. To get to Gokyo Ri, which is 5,483 metres from Gokyo, at (4750m), takes a couple of hours. The bonanza of it is the spectacular view of peaks such as Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu and Everest. The base camp for Cho Oyu lies to the north of the glacier.
