Overview

The Gokyo Valley Trek is the exceptional route attainable through Sagarmatha National park. The rewards of this trek are astonishing views of the infamous Khumbu Region and the supporting nature of “Camels of Mountain”… Sherpas. So basically, this trek is very awesome for travel connoisseurs.

The Gokyo Valley Trek is marked moderate in difficulty, so anyone with fairly good health can be able to strive it. Gokyo Valley is a living museum sprinkled with small villages and settlements which are still not touched by modernity and intact with an unspoiled environment. With another unique panoramic view of Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest glacier in Himalaya, Gokyo valley has its fame for being a beautiful place in the eastern coast of Nepal. Gokyo Valley is also the standing place of the highest freshwater lake system in the world, incorporating 19 lakes, both big and small. Among them, six hold significant importance because of their size and depth. The crystalline azure water of high altitude can soothe anyone’s mind and heart.

The trek begins on the third day, as soon as you land in Lukla airport labeled as one of the dangerous airports in the world. A 3-hour trek to Phakding is an excellent start of the trek after an energizing breakfast in Lukla. Lukla is a small market that has a couple of restaurants, tea-houses, souvenir shops, cloth shops, and hotels. It is the Gateway to the Everest Region. A 30-minute flight from Kathmandu takes you to a completely different world in Nepal. After hiking for almost three hours through the beautiful heaps of rhododendron and alluring oak forest, we reach Phakding.
