The approach follows the "Everest B.C. and Gokyo lakes" itinerary, one of Nepal’s most famous treks, through the Khumbu mountains - Sherpa country. Through small yak-grazing settlements we reach the Gokyo lakes where we climb the Gokyo Peak (5480 m) and enjoy stunning summit mountain scenery including Everest, Makalu and Cho Oyo. After the Cho La pass, we reach Dzongla and further up the base camp. The climb includes some technical difficulties on quite steep (45 – 50 degree) snow/ice slopes and requires the use of fixed ropes. After the Lobuche Peak ascent, we continue towards Gorak Shep and climb to Kala Pattar (5545 m) from where we enjoy an impressive up-close view of Everest. Our return route passes through Tengboche, a magnificent location with a fascinating monastery, where we rest and savour the incredible scenery, including magnificent views of Everest, Ama Dablam (6856m), Kantega (6809m), Kwangde (6194m), Nuptse (7879m), and Lhotse (8511m), to name but a few. |

| Options 2nd high mountain guide : (350 $ for the group). During the ascent of a trekking peak, the groups are accompanied only by a high mountain guide. We recommend to book a 2nd high mountain guide who will help during the ascent and bring back to the base camp those who are not able to reach the summit. Without the high altitude sherpa, a whole group could be obliged to return to the base camp just because one of the members is not able to reach the summit. |
