The fascinating forest of the highest-located national park in the world increases. After it heads to the Dole and Machhermo via Everest viewpoint and Khumjung village, it becomes far-fetched with the enticing geography. It allows you to explore the Gokyo Peak Himalayan region.

Gokyo –RI is right above Gokyo Lake. It is the best viewpoint for trekking. (5360M) The sublimity lies in the attractions that trekking in Gokyo Valley offers: the alpine cattle grazing meadows, the Himalayan scenarios of Gokyo Valley, Sherpa communities, and the Buddhist cultural prosperities.

However, trekking in Gokyo Valley has an alternative destination of the Everest Base Camp. From the Gokyo-Ri, the 180-degree views of Mt. Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and Gokyo Peak, along with the Ngozumpa glacier, exhibit its entire youth and inspiring trekking peaks of Nepal.


Lakes Encountered During Gokyo Valley Trek

Situated within the Sagarmatha National Park of the Everest region, Gokyo Lakes are a set of high-altitude mountain lakes. The Gokyo Lakes are the most stunning and pristine natural attractions of Solukhumbu District, providing scenic views of the surrounding snow-capped peaks, including Mount Everest.

There are six lakes in the Gokyo Valley ranging from the altitude of 4700m to 5000m above sea level. Longponga (4710m), Taujung Lake/Cho (4740m), Dudh Pokhara/ Gokyo Cho (4750m), Thonak Tsho/lake (4870m), Ngojumba lake/Cho (4990m) and Gyazumpa lake/ cho (5000m) are the five glacial lakes of Gokyo.

Longponga:

Longponga is the first lake you’ll encounter among all of the six lakes of Gokyo. Longponga is on the way to Gokyo Valley. As you ascend from Machhermo village, you’ll reach the village of Phangga. Leaving Phangga village you’ll get to the first lake of Gokyo, Longponga which lies at an elevation of 4710m/15452ft.

Taujung Cho/Lake:

Right after passing through Longponga Lake, you’ll encounter a second lake, Taujung Lake/Cho at an elevation of 4740m/ 15551 ft. The area covered by the Tanjung lake is 16.95 hectares (41.9 acres).

Dudh Pokhara/ Gokyo Cho

Among all five lakes of Gokyo, Dudh Pokhari, which is also referred to as Gokyo Lake is the well-known one. The Gokyo lake is in front of the lodges and Gokyo Ri. The Gokyo Lake is situated at 4750m/ 15583 ft. The Dudh Pokhari has covered 42.9 hectare (106 acres) area.

Thonak Tsho/lake

Thonak Lake is the largest lake in Gokyo with 65.07 hectares (160.8 acres) area. After a 45-minute hike from Gokyo Lake, you’ll come across the fourth lake of the Gokyo Valley. The Thonak lake is located at an elevation of 4870m/ 15978 ft.

Ngojumba Cho/lake

Ngojumba is the fifth lake of Gokyo, situated at 4990m/ 16371ft. The lakes come to see after you hike from the exploration of Thonak Tsho/ lake. It takes around 1 hour to get to Ngojumba Lake from Gokyo and 15 minutes from Thonak Lake. Ngojumba Lake has an area of 14.39 hectares (35.6 acres).

Gokyo Valley Trek Cost Description

The trekking cost for the Gokyo Valley depends upon numerous factors. The trekking agency is the foremost factor that especially affects the trekking cost for Gokyo Valley. It is advisable to choose those trekking agencies which provide you with the best facilities with some discounts. Boundless Adventure is providing a group discount so it is also recommended to contact Boundless Adventure to get a trekking package at a reasonable cost.

Another factor that affects Gokyo Valley trekking cost is the season you choose. Choosing a peak season (Autumn and Spring) to trek in the Gokyo Valley costs more than trekking during the low season. Although trekking during Summer and winter is not favorable, it can minimize the cost of the trekking. Due to high demand at peak season, the accommodation facilities and other services may also charge more.

The additional services you want also affect the Gokyo Valley trekking cost. Generally, trekking agencies provide all the facilities required at the time of trekking. But if you want some extra luxury service you need to pay extra, which adds to your cost.


Heating in Dining

Along the way, throughout the 13-day journey to Gokyo Valley and Lake trekking, every lodge/tea house has a heating in the dining facility. The Sherpa people provide warm hospitality to the guest, heating in dining is also a part of their hospitality to make trekkers comfortable while having a meal. Even in the Gokyo Valley, you’ll find heating facilities in dining. Every lodge provides wooden heated dining at the small pan/ drum where wood is burnt.

The heaters with the firewood filled at the bottom part are kept in the middle of the dining room to make sure that every guest feels warm. The heater is made in such a way that the smoking from the wood doesn’t harm dining. As the smoke from the firewood goes through the Chimney.

Along the way to Gokyo, or even at Gokyo, the temperature is low and every trekker wishes to have a heater in their room, however, it is not possible. The wooden burning stoves are only possible in the dining areas and shared spaces.

Although the desire to have a heated room is normal in an area where the temperature is low and drops significantly the trekkers should know that a warm room doesn’t make trekking special. What makes your journey special is the beautiful views seen through the Gokyo Valley trek, the authentic tea houses you stayed at, and all the experience you have gained at the heart of nature.

Essential Information - 13 days Gokyo Valley Trekking

Lodging at Gokyo Valley Trek

Lodging options along the Gokyo Valley trek in the Everest region are tea houses/ lodges, operated by the local sherpas of the region. The tea houses provide basic facilities with a twin bed. The higher altitude you go the basic facilities you’ll get on the tea houses. Some tea houses may have attached bathroom facilities but it is better to not expect the attached bathroom facility.

The tea houses not only provide lodging facilities, but they provide delicious local meals. However, the food options cater from Nepali to International dishes. It is recommended to have Nepali dishes as the dishes are made from locally grown vegetables with no mix of chemicals.

The cost of tea houses along the trail is reasonable but it is not your concern to worry about as Boundless Adventure provides you lodging and food facilities throughout the trekking journey at the finest tea house/ lodge.

Gokyo Valley hiking information.

Gokyo Valley hiking is a popular trek in the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal. It offers breathtaking views of Mount Everest and other peaks of the Himalayas, as well as the opportunity to visit the Gokyo Lakes, a series of high-altitude freshwater lakes.

The trek usually takes 10 to 12 days from Kathmandu, starting from Lukla and passing through Namche Bazaar, Dole, Machhermo, Gokyo, and back. Trekkers will experience traditional Sherpa culture and hospitality along the way and cross the challenging Cho La Pass. Going with a guide and proper gear is recommended, as the high altitude can cause health problems for some trekkers.


Gokyo Ri hiking

Gokyo Ri is a famous day hiking destination near Mount Everest in the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal. The hike offers stunning views of the Himalayan mountain range, including Mount Everest, Nuptshe, Lotshe, Amadablam, and Mt.Makalu, and is known for its turquoise blue glacial lakes.

The typical route to Gokyo Ri starts from the village of Lukla, Namche Bazaar, and takes about 3-4 days to complete, with overnight stops in several Sherpa villages along the way. It is a moderate to challenging hike that requires a good level of physical fitness, but the views from the top are well worth the effort.


View from Gokyo-Ri

Gokyo Ri is a peak located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, near Mount Everest, and its height is approximately 5,357 meters (17,576 feet) above sea level. From the summit of Gokyo Ri, one can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Everest, Cho Oyu, and other high peaks of the Himalayas.

The view from Gokyo Ri is one of the best in the region and a popular spot for trekkers and mountaineers visiting from Gokyo Lake.


Best Season For Gokyo Valley Trek

The Gokyo Valley, located in the Khumbu region, experiences four distinct seasons in a year. Trekking in each season has some pros and cons. However, with Boundless Adventure, you will complete your trek with safety and enjoyment. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and winter are the four seasons that are faced in each part of Nepal, including Gokyo Valley.

Spring

The season of Spring consists of three months: March, April, and May. The season of spring is the pre-monsoon season in Nepal. In this season, the national flower of Nepal, Rhododendron blooms in different parts of the country, including in the Gokyo Valley. The vibrant landscape made by the blossoms of the different wildflowers including rhododendron provides the pleasing trekking condition at Gokyo Valley.

In Spring the weather condition is moderate with warm days and crisp nights. The sight of mountains are also clear during the Spring season, making your Gokyo Valley trek worth it. The temperature during the Spring season ranges from 15 degrees Celsius to -5 degrees Celsius. Moreover, Gokyo Valley trekking during spring is an opportunity to experience the beauty and variety of nature.

Summer

The summer season in Nepal begins from the month of June and lasts till August. Although the season is characterized as the hottest time of the year in Nepal, the season brings heavy rainfall. The frequent rainfall in the summer season makes the trekking trail muddy and the chances of landslides are high. The leeches are almost all over the land, making the trekking conditions less favorable during Summer. Additionally, the heavy rainfall and clouds obstruct the views of the mountain peaks during the Summer, creating disapproving conditions for Gokyo Valley trekking.

In spite of the fact that summer is not a perfect season for the Gokyo Valley trek, there are some good points about trekking at Gokyo in summer that can’t be unseen. The recurring rain clears all the dust from the flora and makes the surrounding green, creating a beautiful trekking condition. Although rain occurs frequently, the temperature is generally hot, making the appropriate trekking situation during the summer season. As summer is the less desired trekking season for the Gokyo Valley trek, the visitors are fewer during the season, providing you an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in nature.

With a temperature ranging from 10°C to 20°C, the summer is becoming the favorite season among trekkers. The fact that there is less chance of rainfall above 5000m due to global warming has also brought trekkers from around the world to trek in the Gokyo Valley during the Summer. Boundless Adventure is providing a trekking package for the Gokyo Valley trek during the summer season, ensuring your safety.

Autumn

Autumn season in Nepal begins after the monsoon/summer season ends. That’s why autumn is also known as the post-monsoon season. After Spring, Autumn is the most desired trekking season among the trekkers trekking in Nepal worldwide. From September to November, Gokyo Valley is at its most beautiful during autumn.  After the monsoon season, the landscape becomes more greenery and makes the environment more colorful during the Autumn time.

Trekking in the Gokyo Valley during the Autumn season provides a review of the blue sky. Additionally, the crystal clear view of the unobstructed mountain peaks are also the highlight of trekking in Gokyo Valley during Autumn. With a temperature ranging from 15°C to -5°C, autumn is the perfect time to fully appreciate the combination of natural beauty, stable weather conditions, and awe-inspiring mountain views.

Winter

December to February is the winter season of Nepal with freezing temperatures in the Everest region. Gokyo Valley trekking during the winter season is not recommended. During the winter season, the trekking paths are fully covered with snow, making the trekking tough. The temperature during the winter season ranges from 5°C to 15°C.

However, if you want to experience the snowfall and still desire to trek in the Gokyo valley during winter you need to be very careful. Having proper gear and equipment is necessary, and choosing a trekking agency that ensures your safety can enhance your overall experience.

The permit aims to support the local economy and the development of sustainable tourism. Having a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu rural municipality permit for the Gokyo Valley trek is essential.

Trek Guide For the Trek
