A complete guide to the Everest Base Camp Trek with Gokyo Lakes, Gokyo Ri
A challenging trek, a demanding trek, a trek that is arduous and demands high levels of fitness... Do you have it in you to take up a trek that is defined by such adjectives?
If it’s a yes… we will tell you everything that you need to know about the Everest Base Camp Trek with Gokyo Lakes, Gokyo Ri.
The
Gokyo Ri Trek is a combination of the Khumbu region trek, a classic with a trip to the magnificent Gokyo village. The Everest Base Camp Trek remains the most popular trek of Nepal (and the tricky one too!) but there are few who know about the Gokyo Ri or the Gokyo Lakes that are barely a few kilometers from the EBC and thus the Everest Base Camp Trek with Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri came into picture.
With the Gokyo Ri Trek you can explore the pristine and immaculate Gokyo region and then get back to the Everest Base Camp Trek through the Cho La Pass that takes you to the foot of Mt.Everest, the tallest mountain of the world at 8848m.

The best time to visit
The Gokyo Ri Trek is possible all around the year, however, some of the best times are the month of March to May which is spring and September to November. The springtime is a wonderful time to do the trek since the flowers are in full bloom and the fall is a great time since the skies are clear and there are no rains or other disturbances.
Apart from the Gokyo Ri Trek, there are other alternatives as well. These include the standard Everest Base Camp Trek minus the Gokyo valley. The Everest Base Camp-three passes trek is another option; the three mountain passes covered are Cho La Pass, Renjo La Pass, and the Kong Ma La pass, all of these are above 5000 meters. For those of you who are running short on time but wish to trek the Everest region, the Everest Panorama Trek is an ideal option. It is an all-inclusive 7-day trek.
