This high altitude alpine trek explores the heart of the Sherpa homeland, visiting Namche Bazaar and Thyangboche before ascending the stunning Gokyo Valley to the glacial lakes under Cho Oyu (8153m).
Here we climb Gokyo Ri for a marvellous view of Everest and the rest of this high mountain wilderness. We cross the glaciated Cho La Pass and rejoin the classic route to Base Camp used by the great climbing parties.
Allowing ample time for acclimatisation, we are able to get well away from the heavily trekked areas.
Our aim is to visit Everest Base Camp on the Khumbu Glacier, and climb Kala Pattar (5545m), which offers fabulous close-up views of Everest.
