Gokyo Valley Trek

Nepal » Trekking »Everest Region » Gokyo Valley Trek

Gokyo is located in the valley immediately west of the Khumbu valley and is far less developed and crowded. In fact, the Gokyo valley only has one traditional permanent settlement, the rest being summer pastures now catering to the passing trekkers. Trek to Gokyo Valley offers magnificent view of the mountain peaks and the Ngozumpa Glacier- the largest in the Nepal Himalayas. This region is associated with the soaring view of the most popular mountains in Nepal, at an altitude of 8000m including Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu which are clearly visible from Gokyo Ri (5483m.) above Gokyo Lake. One of the most remarkable features of the trek is the view of tremendous ice ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung (2922m) located in Khumbu region. This extraordinary trek is also worthy in a sense that it offers an ample opportunity to explore the amazing destination and its impressive sight, which is beyond human imagination.
