The Gokyo Cho La Pass Everest Base Camp Trek is more technically challenging than some other treks in the area, making it a more adventurous journey!

 It encompasses all the 'typical' sights in the region, such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, Gorak Shep, and Everest Base Camp, but also includes a visit to the Gokyo Lakes by crossing the high-altitude Cho La Pass. 

While there are some long days of 8 to 9 hours, the majority are 5 to 6 hours in length. This is a stunning trek that requires stamina and a sense of adventure.

This excursion offers the opportunity to visit Khumjung Village and the Khumjung Hillary School, which was established by Sir Edmund Hillary to give back to the local Sherpa community. The trek takes you through beautiful forests, past waterfalls, high meadows, religious monuments, and fluttering prayer flags. 

As you approach the Ngozumpa Glacier, trekkers are rewarded for their efforts with the stunning views of the three Gokyo Lakes, known for their turquoise, clear waters. A highlight of the trek is the challenging climb up to Gokyo Ri, which provides both breathtaking mountain vistas and acclimatization for the arduous crossing of the Cho La Pass. 

The day of the pass crossing requires an early start, around 4 or 5 am, as the top is over 5,300 meters and part of the trail is over ice, making it a truly remarkable achievement. The sense of accomplishment continues as the route progresses to Gorak Shep, Everest Base Camp, and Kala Patthar, offering the iconic view of Mount Everest. 

While this trek certainly presents challenges with its long, strenuous days, the personal rewards and the opportunity to capture stunning photographs make it well worth the effort.
