Gokyo Chola Pass Trek

Nepal » Trekking »Everest Region » Gokyo Chola Pass Trek

The trek to Gokyo offers a good alternative to the traditional trek to Everest Base Camp. From Gokyo four 8000m peaks (Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu) are clearly visible. There are several options for additional side trips and high altitude walking, including the crossing of Chola, a 5420m high pass into Khumbu. Discover this beautiful valley and the hospitality of the Sherpa people where the trails are quieter.
