The Gokyo Lakes trek is one of the best
treks in the Khumbu region. Much of the trek takes place
at moderate to high altitudes, venturing through rich
Buddhist villages, red birch and dwarf rhododendron
forests together with magnificent views of the peaks of
Sagamartha, Cho Oyo, Lhotse. Makalu and Tawetse.
Highlight of this trek is the walk to the sacred lakes
of Gokyo. Two days will be spent exploring the Gokyo
area, including a steep climb to the top of Gokyo Ri to
witness what is the most comprehensive and impressive
panoramas in all the Himalaya. This trek will appeal to
those who wish to see the major mountains of the
Sagamartha region from a less-trekked trail, as well as
visit the regions key monasteries. |
