Trip description

Why not go a little differently under Everest to the base camp (BC)?

Trek through Gokyo and la Chola Pass combined with a trek to the base camp of BC Mt. Everest will offer you the most beautiful of the entire trek. It is a more challenging trek that takes you to the less visited Khumbu region with views of the world's highest mountains.

The trek to BC Everest via Gokyo and 1 saddle is a solution for those who want to enjoy a different variant of the standard trek and see the beautiful lakes in the Gokyo area while saving a few days from the entire trek via 3 saddles.

The next day after arriving in Kathmandu, we will fly between the mountains to Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla. This is followed by a trek along the classic route to Sagarmatha National Park, known for its colorful landscape, wild Dudh Koshi River, gompas and monasteries.

During this trek, which includes a visit to BC Everest, it is also possible to climb the Kala Patthar view peak (5600 m), from where there are unique views of Mt. Everest and other peaks and Gokyo Peak (5357 m). The road from Namche Bazar takes us to the cobalt blue Gokyo Lakes. After enjoying the amazing view from the fifth lake and Gokyo Ri, we will go to la Chola saddle. After this great acclimatization we will continue on to Everest BC. We will go back down the classic route to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu.

Afterwards, we have a free day in Kathmandu offering a short exploration of Kathmandu's temples, shrines, bazaars and restaurants.

At every step in Nepal, we will encounter Buddhism, which will be reminded not only by monasteries, prayer wheels and monks, but also by the ubiquitous prayer flags, stupas and mani stone walls. In Kathmandu we get to know Hinduism again. Go on a more challenging adventure in Nepal with us.

We trek in small groups!

Start discovering the world of the Himalayas.
