Gokyo-Kalapatthar
Trekking
After flying from Kathmandu into Lukla, we'll begin
trekking to the Sherpa capital Namche Bazaar and on to
the turquoise glacial waters of Gokyo Lakes, sacred to
Tibetan Buddhist living in this area. Rising for an
early start, we'll trek to the summit of Gokyo Ri for
some of the best mountain views in all of Nepal. We'll
travel across the Ngozumpa Glacier before crossing Cho
La Pass to Dzongla.
From here, we'll make our way to Lobuche along the
lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier and on to Gorak
Shep at the base of the Kala Pattar. You can hike to the
top for sunset views or make an early morning trek to
its summit for a panoramic view the high Himalaya,
including Everest at 29,035'. The trek to Everest Base
Camp at the foot of the imposing Khumbu Icefall is
3-hours from Gorak Shep.
