Find Your Himalayan Journey

The Gokyo Lakes Trek – 12 Days takes you into Nepal’s Everest region, where turquoise glacial lakes lie beneath towering Himalayan peaks and traditional Sherpa villages connect the mountain trails. Starting with a scenic flight to Lukla, the journey follows the Dudh Koshi Valley through Namche Bazaar before entering the quieter Gokyo Valley. The highlight is a hike to Gokyo Ri (approximately 5,357 m), offering panoramic views of Mount Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse and Makalu in clear weather. Ideal for trekkers seeking a quieter alternative to the classic Everest Base Camp Trek, this journey combines remarkable mountain scenery, Sherpa culture and the impressive Ngozumpa Glacier with a rewarding high-altitude adventure. With Himalayan Trek Ventures, you can explore the Gokyo Valley with experienced local trekking support and an itinerary that includes time for acclimatization.

The Everest Base Camp Trek is a 14-day journey through Nepal’s legendary Khumbu, beginning with the mountain flight to Lukla and following the Dudh Koshi valley through Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche and the high Himalayan settlements beyond. Two carefully placed acclimatisation stages at Namche Bazaar and Dingboche prepare the journey for the increasingly demanding trail through Lobuche and Gorak Shep. The trek reaches Everest Base Camp at approximately 5,364 metres beside the Khumbu Glacier before climbing Kala Patthar, commonly referenced at around 5,545 metres, for an elevated perspective across the Everest massif. The return through Pheriche, Pangboche, Tengboche and Namche completes a journey shaped not only around reaching base camp, but around experiencing Sherpa communities, Buddhist heritage, changing Himalayan landscapes and the remarkable geography of the Everest Region.
