About This Adventure
The Gokyo Lakes trek takes you through the Khumbu region to a string of jewel-like turquoise glacial lakes at over 4,700m, culminating in the ascent of Gokyo Ri at 5,357m — one of the finest viewpoints in the Nepal Himalaya, with simultaneous views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.
Highlights
What Makes It Special
Gokyo Ri's summit gives you four 8,000m peaks in one panorama — Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu — at sunrise. The string of turquoise Gokyo Lakes below the Ngozumpa Glacier is one of Nepal's most photographed high-altitude scenes.

Demanding terrain and load-bearing requirements call for solid physical preparation. Significant psychological exposure — comfort with heights, void, or dangerous environments is critical.
