Gokyo-Cho-La pass Trekking
The hair-raising flight from Kathmandu will take you to the mountain airstrip at Lukla where the trek begins.

A high altitude trekking option is available here, crossing Chola (Chhugyuma) at 5420m, a high pass into Khumbu region.From Lobuche, an ascent will take you to the rocky outcrop of Kalapaththar (5545m.) to look down on the base camp of the world?s highest peak. You will pass through many Sherpa villages and fabulous mountain scenery during the whole trek.
Everest Gokyo Trek is the best destination for trekkers. This trek begins at the mountain airstrip at Lukla a one hour flight from Kathmandu. Our destination is the high altitude lakes of Gokyo at over 4200 mtrs. Less frequented than the Everest Base Camp route the trek provides some tremendous high altitude trekking and a visit to the second largest glacier in the World. From the top of Gokyo there are some spectacular mountain views including Everest. We return to Lukla and our flight back to Kathmandu.
