Along the way, we will be rewarded with stunning mountain vistas, including Kwangde, Kusum Kanguru, and, if the weather permits, even glimpses of Mount Everest and Lhotse.

It is important and necessary to take a rest day or spend two nights at Namche Bazaar to adjust and safeguard against Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). During this time, it is advised to drink plenty of fluids, excluding alcoholic beverages, which can lead to dehydration. In Namche, you have the option to take leisurely walks in the surrounding areas. One option is to hike for 2-3 hours to the Everest View Hotel, considered the highest hotel in the world at an altitude of 3,880 meters. This hike offers incredible mountain views, including Mt.

In the morning, we will start our day with a short climb to the ridge above Namche. As we continue our trek, we will be treated to breathtaking views of mountains and the beautiful surrounding landscapes. The trail takes us through pleasant woodland areas, providing a serene atmosphere. After some time, we will divert from the main trail towards Gokyo Lake, embarking on a steep climb to reach the Mong Ridgetop at 3,973 meters. From here, we will descend to Phortse Thanghka, located near the Dudh Kosi River.
After a brief rest at Phortse Thanghka, we will continue our walk towards Dole, where we will spend the night. The trail takes us uphill through enchanting woodlands filled with pine, birch, and rhododendron trees. As we ascend, the vegetation gradually changes to juniper and conifer bushes. Along the way, we will pass through small settlements called Tongba (3,950m) and Gyele (3,960m), before reaching Dole. The final leg of the day's trek offers impressive views of Khumbila and Tawache peaks, creating a stunning backdrop for our overnight stay in Dole.
We start our trek from Dole and continue along the side of the valley. The path is mostly level for about an hour until we reach Lhabarma Kharka at 4,325m. From there, we continue to Luza at 4,390m. As we leave this small settlement behind, we contour along the ridge top, offering magnificent views of Mt. Cho-Oyu and the glacial valley below, where Machermo village is nestled. We then descend from the ridge top and reach Machermo, where we will spend the night. In the afternoon Machermo is free for leisure activities, allowing a short walk around the area.
After enjoying the lovely surroundings of Machermo, we continue our trek towards the highlight of our trip: Gokyo Lake. The trail gradually gains altitude, offering magnificent views of towering mountains. We reach Pangka, a small place with a few lodges, and then proceed on a rocky trail that leads us into an open valley. Along the way, we encounter the first glacial lake and continue toward the second lake. Finally, we arrive at Gokyo, situated near the shore of the third lake, also known as Dudh Pokhari.
At an altitude of 4,790 meters, Gokyo was once a summer settlement for cattle and yak herders before trekking became popular in the Khumbu region. Upon reaching Gokyo, we will have lunch and spend the night there. The afternoon is free for acclimatization, and you may take a short walk to explore the area. From Gokyo, you can witness breathtaking views of the world's sixth-highest mountain, Mt. Cho Oyo, and Gyachung Kang, as their reflections shimmer on the emerald waters of Gokyo Lake.
We will start our day very early in the morning to witness the mesmerizing sunrise over the majestic snow-capped mountains from Gokyo Ri, situated at an altitude of 5,357 meters, making it the highest point of this remarkable journey. The ascent to the top of Gokyo Ri is steep and challenging, but the effort is well worth it. Once we reach the summit, we will be rewarded with an awe-inspiring panorama of the world's highest mountains. From the mighty Mt. Cho Oyo at 8,201 meters, this spans the border with Tibet, to Gyachung Kang, the impressive Mt. Everest standing tall at 8,848 meters as the highest peak in the world, and the fourth highest Mt. Lhotse at 8,516 meters. We will also behold the grandeur of Cholatse, Taweche, and to the east, the fifth-highest peak in the world, Mt. Makalu, towering at 8,463 meters.
After spending a memorable time at the summit of Gokyo Ri, we will begin a steep descent back to Gokyo. From there, we will continue our trek downwards and reach Dole, where we will spend the night. It will be a rewarding and fulfilling day of both breathtaking views and challenging trekking.
We begin our morning walk downward on a winding path that takes us to the other side of the Dudh Kosi River. Along the way, we are greeted with mesmerizing views of snow-capped mountains. After an enjoyable and pleasant walk, we arrive at Phortse village, which is a traditional Sherpa village that is less visited by trekkers. It offers a unique and authentic experience.
Leaving behind the charming Phortse village, we continue our trek on a winding trail, surrounded by panoramic views of peaks such as Kwangde, Thamsarkhu, Kangtenga, and Ama Dablam. This part of the trail is less frequented by trekkers, allowing for a serene and peaceful experience. After a few hours of good trekking, we reach Upper Pangboche village at 4,050 meters, where an old monastery is located. We take a lunch break here before continuing our afternoon walk towards the famous Thyangboche monastery.
The trail descends easily for about an hour, leading us to a bridge over the Imjatse River. Once we cross the bridge, we find ourselves back in a lush green forest adorned with pine, birch, and rhododendron trees. From Deoboche, we embark on a steep climb for approximately an hour to reach Thyangboche Monastery, our overnight stop. Thyangboche is an astonishing and magnificent location, offering grand views of Ama Dablam, Kangtenga, Thamserku, Kwangde, and Mt. Everest. This place holds immense religious significance as it is where the head lama (Rinpoche) of the monastery resides. Many mountaineers seek blessings from the high lama priest here for success and a safe expedition.
After having the peaceful and spiritual atmosphere of Tengboche Monastery, accompanied by the resonant chanting of the monks and lamas during their Morning Prayer. Crossing the Imja tse River, we embark on a steep climb that lasts for about an hour. Following this, our journey retraces the path we took earlier, leading us back to Namche Bazaar and Monjo. After a rest and lunch stop, we continue our afternoon trek downhill towards Monjo. We once again cross the Dudh Kosi River, traversing its waters multiple times as we make our way through the scenic Dudh Kosi valley. Finally, we arrive at the entrance/exit gate of the Sagarmatha National Park and continue our journey to Monjo, where we will spend the night.
On the final day of our trek, we embarked on a pleasant walk, retracing our steps along the same trail we had taken earlier. We pass through the charming villages of Phakding, Benkar, Ghat, and Choplung, immersing ourselves in the familiar surroundings. As we approach the end of our journey, we face one last climb, lasting about an hour that takes us to Lukla. Upon reaching Lukla, usually by afternoon or around lunchtime, we have sufficient time to enjoy and stroll around Lukla bazaar. This bustling market area offers a chance to soak up the local atmosphere, interact with fellow trekkers, and perhaps even find some souvenirs to remember our incredible adventure. It's a moment to reflect on the journey and appreciate the beauty of the Himalayan region.
In the morning, we will be transferred to Lukla's Tenzing/Hillary Airport to catch our flight. Depending on the scheduled departure time, we will board a small plane such as a Dronier or Twin Otter. This short and scenic flight lasts approximately 35 minutes, taking us back to Kathmandu. After arriving in Kathmandu, will be transferred to our respective hotels. The rest of the afternoon is free for leisure activities, allowing us to unwind and relax after the trek.

The awe-inspiring landscape, vibrant prayer wheels, suspension bridges, dining around a fireplace, warm smiles of the natives, etc tend to make the trek worth it.
Children as young as 7 and adults over 65 have all done this trek. Steep ascents and descents and rocky paths may not be suitable for you if you have some knee problems or weak ankles. And it would be better to get a doctor consultation before heading on to this trek. If you are fit and also have some experience of trekking at high altitudes then you are fit enough to do the Everest Region trek.

The accommodations are quite nice considering the elevation. During the peak time, our guide will help in pre-booking your rooms.
In the lower villages, you can find tea houses with 24/7 power. But as the elevation goes higher, teahouses are dependent on solar only so, you might not have the chance to charge your mobile. So, we suggest you carry lightweight solar power banks.
Drinking at least 4 liters of water a day is a must for this trek. So, you should purify all your drinking water with purifying tablets. And it is better to carry a thermos flask for boiling water which is provided to you in tea houses.

My son and I chose team Himalaya because of amazing past experiences with Raj on another trek with my daughter (10yrs) on the Annapurna circuit. My son(14yrs) and I were looking for a longer and more challenging trek to Gokyo ri. It was a fantastic and relaxing experience as Raj took care of most of the details eg permits, food, water, accommodation, and transport, which made everything a lot easier and stress-free so we could enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend Team Himalaya
Certainly a mind-blowing experience on top of Gokyo-Ri overlooking a grand panorama of the world’s four highest peaks. Namely Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse,
Mt. Makalu and Mt. Cho-Oyu. Gokyo-Ri at the height of 5,357 m / 17,575 feet high. We had a great view, more of the surrounding peaks that surrounded the high Gokyo-Ri. Facing the whole of Gokyo scenic valley and the emerald-colored lakes with Nepal's longest Ngozumpa glacier. Truly a fascinating hilltop for once in a lifetime experience, thanks to our guide and all staff of Team Himalaya. One of the best trips ever enjoyed, and I would like to join for another trekking adventure with Team Himalaya.
What an amazing adventure to Gokyo Valley and the glacial lakes with stunning panoramic views. Certainly, a mind-blowing experience of a lifetime, enjoy every day of the scenic walks around the beautiful location. The walk although quite tough in some places with strenuous climbs like Namche Bazaar and Mong Hill.
As the walk progressed along with beautiful views, the hard walk and high altitude gain were soon forgotten. Truly a great picturesque location and the climb to Gokyo-Ri was just unbelievable, very exciting, and makes you feel out of this world.
The mountain panorama from Gokyo-Ri was awesome, hard to believe that I did this trek in the right season of time. Thanks to Team Himalaya for making my holiday in Nepal enjoyable and memorable.

After reaching Lukla, we will take some time to relax with morning tea or coffee, and depending on the time of our arrival, we may also enjoy breakfast. We will begin our trek, strolling through the bustling market of Lukla, passing by various shops and stores in Lukla and heading downhill for a while, and then with short ups and gradual winding trail passing many farms and villages, Buddhist prayer monuments and views of snow-capped peaks of Kusum Kanguru and Kwangde. Finally, we will reach our overnight stop at Phakding by the river Dudh Kosi.
Note: Nepal civil aviation will not allow giving flights from ktm-lukla-Ktm then flight takes off from Ramechap to Lukla and Lukla to Ramechap at air ticket and airport transfer.
On the second day of our trek, we will begin with an easy walk, encountering uphills along the way. We will primarily follow the Dudh Kosi River, crossing it via a suspension bridge before reaching the charming village of Monjo. As we pass through Monjo, we will be treated to views of Thermasharkhu Peak and Khumbi-la Mountain, which is considered the patron god of the Khumbu region. Monjo also marks the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park, where we will take a brief rest to obtain the required permits for our journey. After a short break, we will continue our walk, crossing another bridge over the Dudh Kosi River, and arriving at Jorsalle village, where we will stop for lunch. Jorsalle is the only village we will encounter for the next 2-3 hours until we reach Namche.
From Jorsalle, we will initially walk along the river bed before crossing the final bridge over the Imjatse River, which joins the Dudh Kosi. Then, we will embark on an uphill climb through a beautiful alpine forest adorned with rhododendron, pine, and fir trees. Along the way, we will be rewarded with stunning mountain vistas, including Kwangde, Kusum Kanguru, and, if the weather permits, even glimpses of Mount Everest and Lhotse. After a few hours of challenging ascent, we will reach the renowned Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital of the Khumbu region. Namche Bazaar has numerous houses, lodges, hotels, pubs, restaurants with freshly baked goods, a cyber café, a health post, a post office, and banks.
It is important and necessary to take a rest day or spend two nights at Namche Bazaar to adjust and safeguard against Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). During this time, it is advised to drink plenty of fluids, excluding alcoholic beverages, which can lead to dehydration. In Namche, you have the option to take leisurely walks in the surrounding areas. One option is to hike for 2-3 hours to the Everest View Hotel, considered the highest hotel in the world at an altitude of 3,880 meters. This hike offers incredible mountain views, including Mt. Everest and the magnificent Ama Dablam peak. Another option is to hike to the top of Namche Hill, where you can enjoy an aerial view of Namche, along with Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Tawache, Tarmasarku, Kwangde, and Ama Dablam peaks.
Additionally, you can visit the interesting museum in Namche, which provides detailed information about the Khumbu area. In the afternoon, you can explore the bazaar, which is crowded with locals and trekkers, particularly during the Saturday market. From Namche, a flight of about an hour takes you to the village of Khunde, which is home to a hospital built and managed by the Sir Edmund Hillary Trust & Foundation.
In the morning, we will start our day with a short climb to the ridge above Namche. As we continue our trek, we will be treated to breathtaking views of mountains and the beautiful surrounding landscapes. The trail takes us through pleasant woodland areas, providing a serene atmosphere. After some time, we will divert from the main trail towards Gokyo Lake, embarking on a steep climb to reach the Mong Ridgetop at 3,973 meters. From here, we will descend to Phortse Thanghka, located near the Dudh Kosi River.
After a brief rest at Phortse Thanghka, we will continue our walk towards Dole, where we will spend the night. The trail takes us uphill through enchanting woodlands filled with pine, birch, and rhododendron trees. As we ascend, the vegetation gradually changes to juniper and conifer bushes. Along the way, we will pass through small settlements called Tongba (3,950m) and Gyele (3,960m), before reaching Dole. The final leg of the day's trek offers impressive views of Khumbila and Tawache peaks, creating a stunning backdrop for our overnight stay in Dole.
We start our trek from Dole and continue along the side of the valley. The path is mostly level for about an hour until we reach Lhabarma Kharka at 4,325m. From there, we continue to Luza at 4,390m. As we leave this small settlement behind, we contour along the ridge top, offering magnificent views of Mt. Cho-Oyu and the glacial valley below, where Machermo village is nestled. We then descend from the ridge top and reach Machermo, where we will spend the night. In the afternoon Machermo is free for leisure activities, allowing a short walk around the area.
After enjoying the lovely surroundings of Machermo, we continue our trek towards the highlight of our trip: Gokyo Lake. The trail gradually gains altitude, offering magnificent views of towering mountains. We reach Pangka, a small place with a few lodges, and then proceed on a rocky trail that leads us into an open valley. Along the way, we encounter the first glacial lake and continue toward the second lake. Finally, we arrive at Gokyo, situated near the shore of the third lake, also known as Dudh Pokhari.
At an altitude of 4,790 meters, Gokyo was once a summer settlement for cattle and yak herders before trekking became popular in the Khumbu region. Upon reaching Gokyo, we will have lunch and spend the night there. The afternoon is free for acclimatization, and you may take a short walk to explore the area. From Gokyo, you can witness breathtaking views of the world's sixth-highest mountain, Mt. Cho Oyo, and Gyachung Kang, as their reflections shimmer on the emerald waters of Gokyo Lake.
We will start our day very early in the morning to witness the mesmerizing sunrise over the majestic snow-capped mountains from Gokyo Ri, situated at an altitude of 5,357 meters, making it the highest point of this remarkable journey. The ascent to the top of Gokyo Ri is steep and challenging, but the effort is well worth it. Once we reach the summit, we will be rewarded with an awe-inspiring panorama of the world's highest mountains. From the mighty Mt. Cho Oyo at 8,201 meters, this spans the border with Tibet, to Gyachung Kang, the impressive Mt. Everest standing tall at 8,848 meters as the highest peak in the world, and the fourth highest Mt. Lhotse at 8,516 meters. We will also behold the grandeur of Cholatse, Taweche, and to the east, the fifth-highest peak in the world, Mt. Makalu, towering at 8,463 meters.
After spending a memorable time at the summit of Gokyo Ri, we will begin a steep descent back to Gokyo. From there, we will continue our trek downwards and reach Dole, where we will spend the night. It will be a rewarding and fulfilling day of both breathtaking views and challenging trekking.
We begin our morning walk downward on a winding path that takes us to the other side of the Dudh Kosi River. Along the way, we are greeted with mesmerizing views of snow-capped mountains. After an enjoyable and pleasant walk, we arrive at Phortse village, which is a traditional Sherpa village that is less visited by trekkers. It offers a unique and authentic experience.
Leaving behind the charming Phortse village, we continue our trek on a winding trail, surrounded by panoramic views of peaks such as Kwangde, Thamsarkhu, Kangtenga, and Ama Dablam. This part of the trail is less frequented by trekkers, allowing for a serene and peaceful experience. After a few hours of good trekking, we reach Upper Pangboche village at 4,050 meters, where an old monastery is located. We take a lunch break here before continuing our afternoon walk towards the famous Thyangboche monastery.
The trail descends easily for about an hour, leading us to a bridge over the Imjatse River. Once we cross the bridge, we find ourselves back in a lush green forest adorned with pine, birch, and rhododendron trees. From Deoboche, we embark on a steep climb for approximately an hour to reach Thyangboche Monastery, our overnight stop. Thyangboche is an astonishing and magnificent location, offering grand views of Ama Dablam, Kangtenga, Thamserku, Kwangde, and Mt. Everest. This place holds immense religious significance as it is where the head lama (Rinpoche) of the monastery resides. Many mountaineers seek blessings from the high lama priest here for success and a safe expedition.
After having the peaceful and spiritual atmosphere of Tengboche Monastery, accompanied by the resonant chanting of the monks and lamas during their Morning Prayer. Crossing the Imja tse River, we embark on a steep climb that lasts for about an hour. Following this, our journey retraces the path we took earlier, leading us back to Namche Bazaar and Monjo. After a rest and lunch stop, we continue our afternoon trek downhill towards Monjo. We once again cross the Dudh Kosi River, traversing its waters multiple times as we make our way through the scenic Dudh Kosi valley. Finally, we arrive at the entrance/exit gate of the Sagarmatha National Park and continue our journey to Monjo, where we will spend the night.
On the final day of our trek, we embarked on a pleasant walk, retracing our steps along the same trail we had taken earlier. We pass through the charming villages of Phakding, Benkar, Ghat, and Choplung, immersing ourselves in the familiar surroundings. As we approach the end of our journey, we face one last climb, lasting about an hour that takes us to Lukla. Upon reaching Lukla, usually by afternoon or around lunchtime, we have sufficient time to enjoy and stroll around Lukla bazaar. This bustling market area offers a chance to soak up the local atmosphere, interact with fellow trekkers, and perhaps even find some souvenirs to remember our incredible adventure. It's a moment to reflect on the journey and appreciate the beauty of the Himalayan region.
In the morning, we will be transferred to Lukla's Tenzing/Hillary Airport to catch our flight. Depending on the scheduled departure time, we will board a small plane such as a Dronier or Twin Otter. This short and scenic flight lasts approximately 35 minutes, taking us back to Kathmandu. After arriving in Kathmandu, will be transferred to our respective hotels. The rest of the afternoon is free for leisure activities, allowing us to unwind and relax after the trek. It's also an excellent opportunity to engage in some souvenir shopping and explore the local markets in Nepal.

The Gokyo ri trek trek requires no expertise in mountaineering skills as it is just a long hike. People of all ages and shapes have completed this trek over the years and you can do it too.
The awe-inspiring landscape, vibrant prayer wheels, suspension bridges, dining around a fireplace, warm smiles of the natives, etc tend to make the trek worth it.
Children as young as 7 and adults over 65 have all done this trek. Steep ascents and descents and rocky paths may not be suitable for you if you have some knee problems or weak ankles. And it would be better to get a doctor consultation before heading on to this trek. If you are fit and also have some experience of trekking at high altitudes then you are fit enough to do the Everest Region trek.
The best season for the Everest Region trek is from September to early December when there is clear weather. Also, during March and May, the flowers are out and visibility is clear.
The route is relatively danger-free as the path has been widened in many places making it easier for the trekkers. The main problem is when people get Altitude sickness. Other than that, common injuries that people may face are twisted ankles and sprains. To cope with that we hire experienced guides and experts to tag along with your journey.
Of course, now the Everest Region trek has cell coverage. For charging the mobile, you should better pack some Power Banks. Some tea houses also have the facility of charging ports.

Many People having families with children have completed this trek. But it is unwise to take children who don’t obey their parents or can’t talk properly about the early symptoms of altitude sickness.
Yes, it would be wise if you brought some dry foods, and power snack bars with you since buying snacks on the trail can be pretty expensive.
The accommodations are quite nice considering the elevation. During the peak time, our guide will help in pre-booking your rooms.
In the lower villages, you can find tea houses with 24/7 power. But as the elevation goes higher, teahouses are dependent on solar only so, you might not have the chance to charge your mobile. So, we suggest you carry lightweight solar power banks.
Drinking at least 4 liters of water a day is a must for this trek. So, you should purify all your drinking water with purifying tablets. And it is better to carry a thermos flask for boiling water which is provided to you in tea houses.
Yes, it can be normal to get altitude headaches. So, to be on the safe side our guide will be there 24/7 giving full advice and care for you

The best months for going on this awesome trekking would be February, March, April, and during the October-November months. During these months the skies are clear and you can have a splendid panorama view of the mountains. If you are a snow lover, then this might be the chance for you to experience it first-hand.
We can provide you with travel insurance but, it would be better for you to get your travel insurance done in your own country. We provide full insurance to our guides and other staff.
Yes, you should let us know beforehand since we need to adjust the itinerary according to your needs. Mostly our packages are flexible so you should not worry about getting the trek extended.
Since June, July, and August fall during the Monsoon Season, the paths are slippery and less relevant for hiking. The skies may not be clear, but you can find beautiful flora and fauna during the trek
The Everest Region trek can be done by a minimum of 1 person and the expected maximum number of people is 23 people. To fully enjoy this trek without much hustle, it is recommended to trek in smaller groups of people.

My son and I chose team Himalaya because of amazing past experiences with Raj on another trek with my daughter (10yrs) on the Annapurna circuit. My son(14yrs) and I were looking for a longer and more challenging trek to Gokyo ri. It was a fantastic and relaxing experience as Raj took care of most of the details eg permits, food, water, accommodation, and transport, which made everything a lot easier and stress-free so we could enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend Team Himalaya

Certainly a mind-blowing experience on top of Gokyo-Ri overlooking a grand panorama of the world’s four highest peaks. Namely Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse,
Mt. Makalu and Mt. Cho-Oyu. Gokyo-Ri at the height of 5,357 m / 17,575 feet high. We had a great view, more of the surrounding peaks that surrounded the high Gokyo-Ri. Facing the whole of Gokyo scenic valley and the emerald-colored lakes with Nepal's longest Ngozumpa glacier. Truly a fascinating hilltop for once in a lifetime experience, thanks to our guide and all staff of Team Himalaya. One of the best trips ever enjoyed, and I would like to join for another trekking adventure with Team Himalaya.

What an amazing adventure to Gokyo Valley and the glacial lakes with stunning panoramic views. Certainly, a mind-blowing experience of a lifetime, enjoy every day of the scenic walks around the beautiful location. The walk although quite tough in some places with strenuous climbs like Namche Bazaar and Mong Hill.
As the walk progressed along with beautiful views, the hard walk and high altitude gain were soon forgotten. Truly a great picturesque location and the climb to Gokyo-Ri was just unbelievable, very exciting, and makes you feel out of this world.
The mountain panorama from Gokyo-Ri was awesome, hard to believe that I did this trek in the right season of time. Thanks to Team Himalaya for making my holiday in Nepal enjoyable and memorable.
