Gokyo via Cho La Pass...
This trek offers a more challenging alternative
to the traditional trek to Everest Base Camp-
there is an ascent of both Kala Pattar and Gokyo
Ri along with crossings of the Cho La (5330m)
and Renjo La (5340m) passes. The trek has been
carefully planned to ensure there is adequate
time for the necessary acclimatisation.
The route starts by following the classic Everest
Base Camp trek |
but rather than retracing
your steps back to Namche you trek over the Cho La
pass to enter the quieter Gokyo valley. This valley
has a string of glacial lakes and Gokyo Ri peak. We
climb this in the morning for some of the best views
of the Everest massif. Our last pass is the Renjo
La from where we descend into the Thame valley, one
of the main trading routes with Tibet.
