Historically, Tengboche is one of the oldest monasteries in the Everest Region. The path to EBC will be more uphill.

On a Trekking trail, there are multiple times when there are several suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River, and you climb the step wall. 

Everest Base Camp Cho-la Pass with Gokyo Lake Trek gets extremely difficult from the Base Camp with terminal moraines and ice sheets. The trail to Gokyo walks through Cho La Pass at 5,420m and crosses the Ngozumpa Glacier in the east. The Cho La pass joins the two villages of Dzongla and Thangnak. All over the Everest Trek is called Khumbu Valley. This walking trail is on the mountain and the Lofty Hills. From here, the trail ascends upwards from the jagged and rocky terrain, passing Thangna. 

The Trek to the First Gokyo lake from the village takes 3 hours, and trekking further will take you to the second lake of Gokyo. Near the Third Lake, there lies a Gokyo village which comes with a stunning view of Gokyo Ri.

The fourth and fifth lakes lie beyond Gokyo Villages, walking over rugged terrain with loose rocks and boulders. After arriving at the last lake, you will get a spectacular view of tranquil lakes, diverse landscapes, sheer glaciers, and breathtaking mountains. Trekkers will also climb Gokyo Ri before trekking back to Lukla with the crew of Adventure A One Private Limited.

Acclimatization 

Everest Trek Acclimatization refers to the people who have the body adapts to the conditions of high altitude. While the body has lower levels of oxygen and decreasing air pressure, the body needs complete rest to recover. For this kind of body maintenance, normally, trekkers take 2 extra days for acclimatization, and in many popular spots like Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, people rest on that day from Namche people acclimatize to walk up to Everest View Hotel, and from Dingboche people climb to the Nagarjun hill which is around 5 thousand meters. Any of them who are unable to do so with our plan can extend their plan as they need for Acclimatization.

Best Gokyo lake trek with ebc

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp with Gokyo Lake Trek, organized by Adventure A One Treks. It was an amazing experience! The trek was incredibly well organized and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey and was able to answer any questions we had. The views were breathtaking and the experience was unforgettable. The trek was challenging, but the staff were incredibly supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend Adventure A One Treks to anyone looking to do Everest Base Camp with Gokyo Lake Trek. They are professional, reliable and provide a great service. Five stars!

The trek is not difficult and tough as one expects, as you are walking around world highest region of Himalayas. The toughness is climb on high altitude, taking slow with an easy gradual pace will overcome the difficulty. The walks leads on well define trails with steep ups and down.

The hardest is climb on top of Gokyo-Ri and Kalapathar Hill. Crossing over Chola pass, the rest of the walk is moderate, taking slow and steady. Having enough short rest will be the best and then continue with a slow stride, enjoying the surrounding views.

The maximum altitude on this trek varies from Gokyo-RI at 5,357 m / 17, 575 feet. Cho-La Pass at 5,420 m / 17, 782 feet high and

Most large villages and main settlements Lukla, Phakding, Namche Bazaar and Tengboche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep offers nice good lodge accommodation. Including Dole, Machhermo and Gokyo has nice cozy rooms in their lodges for the overnight stand.

Most lodges on route provides comprehensive food menus, served in a nice large warm dining room. But at Thagnak, Dzongla and Gorakshep the rooms are simple, serving basic foods, due to high altitude and cold terrain.

Higher around Gokyo on route to Gorakshep, attached bath and toilets are not available. All guest has to share the common toilet and bathe, due to the nature of arid and high landscapes.

No worries, the trail from Lukla onwards to Gokyo Lake is well defined, as well as a route to Gokyo-Ri high ridge. However, in snow condition, it will be quite tough to find the right path. Our guide are experts of the areas so there won’t be much of a problem, as long one is fit and able.
