Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lake and Cho La Pass

The EBC trek via Gokyo Lake is a great choice for trekkers who want more than the classic route. This trail leads you through quiet valleys, past bright blue lakes, and over a high mountain pass. The walk feels calm in many places, yet full of strong mountain views that stay with you.

Gokyo Lake is one of the highlights of this trek. The clear turquoise water sits beside the Ngozumpa Glacier, the longest glacier in Nepal. Walking around the lakes feels peaceful, and the climb to Gokyo Ri rewards you with wide views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. These moments make the extra effort worth it.

Crossing Cho La Pass adds a true adventure touch to the journey. The trail is steep, rocky, and often snowy, but it connects the Gokyo Valley to the Everest Base Camp route. Reaching Everest Base Camp after this crossing feels rewarding and meaningful. This trek is perfect for walkers who want quiet trails, big views, and a complete Everest region experience.
