Gokyo Valley Trekking - 15 Days

Gokyo Valley Trekking is one of the significant treks offered by Holiday Tours Nepal. Gokyo encompasses the views of Everest (8,848m), also known as "the roof of the world," Lhotse(8,511m/27,923ft), Makalu (8,463 m/27,765 ft), and Cho Oyo (8,021 m/26,315 ft). These spectacular mountains and surrounding peaks are visible from Gokyo Ri above Gokyo Lake.

Gokyo Ri (5,357 m/17,575 ft) is one of the high peaks in the Khumbu region located in the Himalayan region of Nepal. This peak is famous for trekkers, climbers, and visitors. As mentioned, it provides an excellent view of the mountains. Individuals compare the picture of Gokyo Ri to the spectacular Kalapatthar, the highest point in the Everest Base Camp trek. Due to this particular reason, Gokyo ri has become a popular alternative destination compared to Kalapatthar.

Similarly, the Gokyo region hosts serene turquoise lakes known as the Gokyo Lakes. There are six leading lakes in this region. The third lake, Gokyo Cho or Dudh Pokhari, is the most noted. Gokyo lakes are low-nutrient lakes situated at an altitude of 4700–5000 m (15,400–16,400 ft) above sea level, which are nature's wonder.

Another main attraction of Gokyo Valley Trekking is an icefall off the Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest glacier in Nepal. The Ngozumpa Glacier offers mountain lake scenery and countless more heart-melting scenarios. One of the most remarkable highlights is the view of the massive ice ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung (2922m) in the Khumbu region. This is a conventional trek that truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that offers the best of this region.
