Gokyo Lakes Trek

Turquoise lakes and a Gokyo Ri panorama — the quieter side of the Khumbu.

Gokyo is for travelers who want Everest-region scale without the Base Camp crowds. The lakes sit under Cho Oyu, and Gokyo Ri gives one of the widest panoramas in Nepal.

We can extend toward Everest Base Camp via Cho La if you have extra days and good weather.
