Prominent Attractions of Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek

On your EBC Gokyo Ri Trekking adventure, there are a series of points of interest that you may find on your way. Everest region is filled with surreal points of attractions that include a blend of water bodies, cultural diversity, historical landmarks, religious monuments and towering mountains. Some of these highlights of the trek are discussed herewith:

1) Sherpa Villages and Hamlets

Everest region including most part of the Solukhumbu district is predominantly inhabited by Sherpa group of people. These Indo-Tibetan races are scattered all over the area to the highest settlements of humans at Lobuche (4940m). Throughout your trekking adventure, you will pierce through these small villages staying at typical Sherpa homes built of wood, mud and stones. Lukla, Namche Tengboche, Pangboche, Dingboche, Pheriche, Lobuche, Gokyo, Dhole, Machhermo and others are among the most popular Sherpa villages during this trek. 

2) Buddhist Monasteries and Heritages

Sherpa people primarily follow Buddhism as their religion and it coincides with Tibetan -Buddhism for the most part. You will encounter several centuries old monasteries, Buddhist artifacts, Chhortens, Mani walls and religious inscriptions throughout the trekking duration. The most savored festival of the Sherpa people is Mani Rimdu which occurs during the months of October or November. Thame Monastery, Tengboche Monastery, Khumjung Monastery are the most revered Buddhist prayer sites in Everest region. Apart from these, you will encounter lots of small chhortens and Mani walls as you begin your trek from Lukla and throughout this journey.

3) Everest Mountain vista

Everest mountain range includes over 300 mountains that are scattered along the jurisdiction of Solukhumbu district. There are a series of mountain ranges including 3 mountains that go beyond the 8000 meters mark. These are Mt.Everest(8848m), Mt.Lhotse(8516m) , Mt. Makalu (8481m) and Mt. Cho Oyu(8188m). You will remain spellbound throughout the journey gazing at these amazing peaks from the beginning of the journey to Everest base camp and Gokyo lake. Everest region is filled with numerous peaks that stand tall and proud. This region is an arcadia for mountain lovers with views not to be seen elsewhere.

4) Rivers and Glacial Lakes

Due to the presence of several mountain peaks that remain enveloped with snow throughout the year, you will encounter numerous water bodies during the trek. Streams, ponds, lakes and rivers will never be out of sight all along the trekking journey. DudhKoshi river which originates from Everest glacier is one of the main tributaries of Saptakoshi river system in Nepal. Saptakoshi followingly merges with Ganges in India as it moves southbound. Another prominent waterbody of this trek is Gokyo lakes. There are altogether 6 lakes in Gokyo valley with the largest being Thonak lake. You will remain spellbound seeing the pristine Gokyo lakes on the latter part of your trekking journey.

5) High Mountain Passes

Apart from towering mountains, you will also traverse through multiple high passes on the EBC Gokyo trek. Dughla Pass (4800m) and Cho La Pass (5420m) are two passes you will encounter in this trek. These mountain passes are a usual foot trail for the locals but will definitely leave you breathless during the trek. Gokyo Ri (5330m) and Kalapathar(5550m) are another prominent peak that you will climb during this journey after trek to Everest base camp.

Preparation for Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek

Everest Base Camp Gokyo Trekking encompasses traversing in rugged and uneven terrain, leading to remote landscapes, with the pinnacle reaching an elevation of 5555 meters at Kala Patthar Peak. Beyond 3000 meters, the altitude poses a risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) due to decreased oxygen levels in the air. 

Despite the challenging conditions, individuals of diverse ages, physical fitness levels, and past trekking experience have successfully undertaken this extraordinary journey. While certain difficulties may arise, particularly after crossing Tengboche, proper acclimatization and maintaining a steady walking pace make this adventure accessible even for beginners.

 It is crucial to thoroughly break in your gear, including shoes, rucksack, and other apparels, before commencing the trek. Additionally, consulting with your doctor to address any health concerns before venturing into the high-altitude traverse to Everest region is recommended. Being in optimal physical condition further enhances your ability to enjoy and conquer this remarkable trek. Also, we suggest that you begin your workout, exercises and hiking practices at least 3 months prior to the trekking date.

We couldn’t expect better

We were three friends going for the trek Gokyo-Cho la Pass-EBC in 15 days. We were very happy by the service provided, the communication with Harka has been easy and clear. He welcomed us at the airport and dropped us few days after the trek. Harka took the time to explain the trek and introduce us to our guide Hari who has been the perfect guide all along the 15 days. One of us had severe altitude sickness but Hari remained calm thanks to his experience in the mountains and instead of sending him back with the helicopter as many people do, he prepared and suggested an alternative route first to go down by 600 metres for our friend to feel better and then to explore less touristic areas. It was a good alternative where we were immerged in the local culture. We had as well two porters Bikash and Shem who were both very reliable. Bikash went above and beyond our expectations along the trek. We finished the trek with a final dinner in Katmandou with Harka who invited us to try typical Nepalese food and get our feedback. Overall a great experience, we will be back! 😊

At Himalaya trip we customise itinerary and design the perfectly blending treks as per your preferences. If you have any queries regarding duration of Everest Base Camp and Gokyo trekking, please don't hesitate to mail us


Difficulty of Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek

If you're contemplating the difficulty of the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek, it's important to note that it is considered strenuous and demanding. Prior experience with high-altitude Himalayan trekking is highly advisable before undertaking this challenging journey. The combination of elevated terrain, the remoteness of the area, the trek's duration, and its secluded location contributes to the overall difficulty of the EBC and Gokyo Lakes Trek.

The level of difficulty is also influenced by factors such as age, previous trekking experience, fitness level, and mental resilience of the trekker. Individuals who are physically or mentally unprepared may find it challenging to successfully complete the trek. Beginners to Himalayan trekking are likely to face difficulties in making the traverse. It is strongly recommended to start a fitness regimen at least a month before your planned travel dates to ensure you are in good shape and capable of comfortably completing the journey.


Best Time for Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek

The preferred time for Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes trek is during spring, from March to May, and autumn, typically from the end of September to mid-December. Winter, occurring from December to February, also provides favorable conditions for trekking in Nepal, although the peak winter months (December to February) may bring challenging weather.

Conversely, the summer months (June to August) coincide with the monsoon season in Nepal, characterized by heavy rainfall. The occasional rain showers during this period can make trails slippery and obstruct views of the breathtaking Himalayas. Despite these challenges, trekking is still possible during the summer months. Most parts of the EBC Gokyo region fall under a rain-shadow area, receiving minimal rainfall even during the peak summer. Trekking in the monsoon season is feasible with careful consideration of the weather.

The optimal trekking seasons for the EBC and Gokyo Lakes trek are autumn (September to December) and spring (March to May). Winter trekking is also possible, but the extreme cold requires warm gear and a sleeping bag for the nights. While temperatures drop significantly during winter, the weather remains generally favorable, providing a unique trekking experience.


​Hotels and Meals during Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek

The trail of the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek is filled with teahouses and mountain lodges, where local residents have converted their homes into welcoming lodges. Along your trek, you'll come across numerous mountain lodges that serve as essential resting points. Typically crafted from wood, these lodgings feature rooms accommodating 2 individuals, providing basic amenities such as quilts, mattresses, and pillows. These Everest tea houses are equipped with power outlets for charging electronic devices. While the availability of WiFi may vary, hot showers are often available for an additional cost ranging from $1 to $2.

Throughout your EBC and Gokyo Lakes trek, your meals will be prepared at the teahouses. Lunch breaks will be taken in villages along the route, while dinners and breakfasts will be provided at the tea houses where you stay. The teahouses offer a diverse range of food options, predominantly featuring basic Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine. Additionally, continental dishes are included on the menu. We highly recommend trying the traditional "Dal Bhat," a Nepalese set meal consisting of rice, lentil soup, curries, and pickle. This dish is popular among trekkers for its nutritional value and satisfying nature. If you have specific dietary requirements or preferences, please inform us, as teahouses also offer pasta, noodles, pies, sherpa stew and other delightful treats in their own style.

As a Buddhist religious practice, meat products are strictly forbidden in the Gokyo region. Sherpa people dont sacrifice animals and are mostly vegetarians. On the bright side, they have a series of their own vegetarian delicacies that you shouldn't miss out on. Sherpa stew, Tsampa porridge, Buckwheat bread or potato bread with butter are some of the local dishes. These dishes are made from produces that are locally produced and are organic.

When you choose the EBC and Gokyo Lakes trek package from Himalaya Trip, you can expect comprehensive accommodation throughout your trekking days. The package is designed with a commitment to securing the best available services in the region, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience.


​Permit for Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek

For Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek, two essential permits are required: the Sagarmatha National Park Permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit. The Everest region, surrounded by Sagarmatha National Park, established in 1976, and governed by the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality, mandates a separate entry permit.

Sagarmatha National Park Permit:

This permit, granting entry to Sagarmatha National Park, can be acquired either in Kathmandu or at the national park's entry gate in Monjo (Day 2). The cost is Nrs. 3000 (Approx $30) per person. Recognized as a UNESCO Heritage Site, the permit fees contribute to the preservation of the area's ecosystem.

Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit:

The Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality, overseeing the northern part of the Solukhumbu district, requires a one-time entry fee of Rs. 2000 (Approx $20) per person. This permit can be obtained in Lukla. Unlike the national park permit, the Khumbu permit is exclusively available in Lukla or Monjo. To secure these permits, you'll need to provide two passport-sized photographs and a copy of your passport.

Himalaya Trip is here to assist you throughout your trek, handling all the necessary permits and paperwork on your behalf, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience.
