Gokyo-Kalapatthar Trekking
After flying from Kathmandu into Lukla, we'll begin trekking to the Sherpa capital Namche Bazaar and on to the turquoise glacial waters of Gokyo Lakes, sacred to Tibetan Buddhist living in this area. Rising for an early start, we'll trek to the summit of Gokyo Ri for some of the best mountain views in all of Nepal. We'll travel across the Ngozumpa Glacier before crossing Cho La Pass to Dzongla.
From here, we'll make our way to Lobuche along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier and on to Gorak Shep at the base of the Kala Pattar. You can hike to the top for sunset views or make an early morning trek to its summit for a panoramic view the high Himalaya, including Everest at 29,035'. The trek to Everest Base Camp at the foot of the imposing Khumbu Icefall is 3-hours from Gorak Shep.
