Major highlights

Lukla Airport

The 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is the fastest method to visit the Everest region. The airport's 527-meter-long, 30-meter-wide runway makes landings and takeoffs difficult, which is why the History Channel named Lukla Airport the most dangerous airport in 2010. The trip from Kathmandu to Lukla offers beautiful mountain panoramas. Indeed, it will be a scenic, world-class flight.

During the hiking season, this airport has over 60 flights per day, making it one of the busiest in Nepal. The plane to and from Lukla is small, so there are no set seats. Sit on the left while traveling to Lukla and on the right when flying to Kathmandu. It offers a spectacular view of Everest. The weather in Lukla fluctuates regularly, so flight cancellations are common.

Gokyo Lake and Ngozumxpa Glacier

The Gokyo Lake is the highest freshwater lake system in the world, at a maximum altitude of 5,357 m. Gokyo Lake is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the way to Everest Base Camp and other regions. At 4,790 m (15,720 ft) elevation, Gokyo village is one of the area's principal centers. Climbing Gokyo Ri is frequently included in trips to the region. And if you need more proof that this place is beautiful and essential, Footprint Adventure says, "The Gokyo Valley is, in our opinion, the most beautiful place in the Khumbu." Ngozumoa Glacier is another highlight of the Gokyo region. It is the longest glacier in the Himalayas, stretching 36 kilometers (22 miles) beneath Cho Oyu, the world's sixth-highest mountain.

Panoramic view of Mountains

You can climb Gokyo Ri or Cho La Pass for breathtaking views of Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,201 m), and Mt. Makalu (8,463 m), or continue north down the valley to the sacred lake's highest point. Mt. Changaste (7,550 m), Mt. Lingterin (6,679 m), Mt. Thamserku (6,723 m), Mt. Cholaste (6,335 m), etc. line up to the north. You'll have stunning Himalayan vistas at every hill or mountain pass you traverse, and you'll feel great strolling along ice-filled slopes, especially above Gokyo valley.

During these times of the year, you can see the mountains with no clouds in the way. Although it is possible to complete this hike during the months of February and early September, the optimum time to complete the trek is during the months listed above.

Fitness for Gokyo Lakes Trek

You need months to prepare for the Gokyo Lake Trek. To increase the effectiveness of your cardio workout, start with a brisk walk and go on to jogging. 5 km in 30 minutes should be your target. Start gradually and increase daily. Swimming, riding, and stair climbing help too. You must walk on uneven terrain while on the trek. Leg strength is a plus during this trek. Leg exercises like weightlifting and squats might help.

Difficulty of the Gokyo Lakes Trek

Gokyo Lake Trek's difficulty varies by route. The mountain pass trek is difficult, but the Gokyo Lake adventure is moderate. How hard it is to trek depends on how much altitude you gain per day, your highest point, the distance you travel each day, the terrain, and the weather. Gokyo Ri, which is the highest point along the Gokyo Lake trek route, is 5360 meters above sea level. This climb is moderate, so acclimatization is easy. The trail has some tough portions that are difficult for beginners. You must move carefully and steadily through these portions. Despite hurdles, the hike requires mental and physical preparation. Do not choose a trekking schedule that includes crossing mountain passes if you have no experience.

The Everest Gokyo Trek is amazing for its landscape and adventure. You can spend one or two days dining and drinking there if you wish. Ancient Buddhist monasteries, diverse flora and fauna, and whatnot have made the Gokyo Lake Trek worth doing. Footprint Adventure also provides personalized trekking trip itineraries.

    FAQs

    Q1. What kind of accommodations are found in the Gokyo Lake and Everest Base Camp Trek?

    After a challenging day of hiking, it is necessary to take some time to wind down, relax, and get a good night's sleep in order to be ready for the next day's adventure. To ensure that you have a pleasant stay, we will always reserve the finest lodge, which will include two beds in each room as well as western-style bathroom services. The majority of the time, there will be an adjacent restroom as well as clean and comfy beds that include an electric blanket (if one is available). The temperature of the space will often be kept between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius (50 and 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit).

     

    Yes! The challenging hike to Everest region is highly dependent on the existing weather conditions. Due to the unpredictability of the weather and the frequent occurrence of weather-related events, flights are sometimes delayed or even canceled. Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla is located at 2,800 meters (9,186 feet) above sea level and is accessible by a 25-minute flight from Kathmandu. In the event that the domestic flights to and from Lukla are canceled, we kindly ask that you make appropriate preparations and set aside a few days as backup in case this occurs.

     

    The months of spring (March-May) and fall (October-November) are the best times to trek to Gokyo Lake Everest Base Camp since the weather is more favorable during these months and is ideal for high-altitude trekking during these months. These times of the year provide a view of the mountains that is completely unobstructed by clouds. Although it is possible to complete this hike during the months of February and early September, the optimum time to complete the hike is during the months listed above.

     

    If you want to tackle Gokyo Lake and Everest Base camp without experiencing any difficulties related to altitude sickness, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. The following are a few tips for preventing altitude sickness during your trip to Everest Base Camp, provided by our knowledgeable guides and travel planners.

    • Slow ascent with sufficient rest and acclimatization.
    • Make sure you get enough fluids and keep hydrated.
    • Consume sufficient and balanced calories.
    • Keep clear from alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, and tobacco products for the entirety of the walk.
    • Maintain a level mind and get yourself mentally ready.
    • Train your body to handle uphill hikes 3 months before the trek by doing enough cardio or gym work

    If you haven't already trained, we advise you to do so well in advance of embarking on an adventure trek in Nepal's Everest region. Despite the fact that this is a relatively straightforward climb, if you are new to trekking, you may experience some discomfort. For security reasons, we do not accept last-minute reservations from untrained or inexperienced hikers. Our mountaineers will require at least three months to advise, lead, train, and get you ready for this climb. The bottom line is that even if you have no prior trekking experience, you may still complete this journey provided you get in touch with us at least three months in advance of your intended start date.

     

    A restful night of pleasant sleep is absolutely essential for the following day's journey after a hard day of hiking. We always take care to reserve the best lodging with two beds for each room and, when available, western toilet facilities. The mattresses are often tidy and cozy, with an electric blanket (depending on availability) and an attached bathroom for the majority of nights. The temperature in the room is often kept between 10 and 12 °C (50 and 54 °F).

     

    Without a doubt, Everest Base Camp has made history in the trekking and adventure industries. When they arrive at this storied base camp, hikers invariably exhale a sense of satisfaction and self-worth.Each trekker makes their own decisions about what they want to do, and we always support the priority of the path you select. If you have never trekked elsewhere or at a high altitude, we advise you to take on the 14-day Everest Base Camp journey. Go for the 14-day Gokyo Lake Trek if you prefer a more gorgeous walk mixed with some adventurous activities. Please get in touch with our travel representatives in the USA, India, Australia, and Nepal immediately if you have any questions. We will instruct and mentor you so that you advance from being a competent hiker, trekker, and climber.

     

    Crampons are typically not necessary for this trek if you hike during the season. However, crampons could be needed if you intend to complete the journey in the middle of winter or during the rainy season. It is preferable to have your crampons and not need them than to need them and not have them if necessary, because you truly won't know what conditions you'll find on the trekking trail until you get there.

     

    No. Normally, oxygen is not needed on the trek because our schedule is set up to allow for adequate acclimatization. In order to prevent altitude sickness, we also provide Diamox, a drug that suppresses the symptoms right away. However, we will quickly drop to a lower altitude in the event of severe altitude sickness.

     

    The first symptoms typically appear 12 to 24 hours after reaching high altitudes. Symptoms of altitude sickness vary depending on their severity. Mild, transient altitude sickness symptoms include lightheadedness, exhaustion, loss of appetite, insomnia, lack of energy, and shortness of breath.

     

    On a paid basis, electricity is provided during your walk to recharge your phones, laptops, and iPads using micro-hydropower and solar panels. After Namche, there are no Wi-Fi sites along the trekking track. Only two locations in Lukla and one in Namche offer free Wi-Fi. Other locations further up require a fee for using online services, which increases gradually with elevation.

     

    Undoubtedly! The Gokyo Ri viewpoint, at 5,3 meters (17,575 feet), provides the greatest view of the southwest face of Mount Everest. The panorama of Mount Everest that can be viewed from Gokyo Ri has been considered by hikers to be the best panoramic view of the entire Everest Region Trek. The view of Mount Everest that can be seen from Gokyo Ri is more extensive.

     

    The Gokyo Ri Trek is a journey that lasts for a total of 14 days. This tour lasts for 14 days and begins in Kathmandu, from which point the travelers go to a number of other heritage sites. This journey to Gokyo Ri and its lakes is a fantastic alternative to the more traditional treks to Everest and Kanchenjunga base camps. People who are interested in hiking in the Everest region but do not have any intention of making it to Everest Base Camp should choose the Gokyo Ri Trek and the Gokyo Lakes. Both of these destinations are located in the Gokyo Valley.

     

    The scientists underestimated the depth of these lakes when they first looked at them. The Fourth Lake (Thonak Cho) is the lake with the deepest depth, measuring in at 62.4 meters, followed by the Gokyo Lake, which measures 43 meters.
