Gokyo Lake Trek

The Gokyo Lake Trek is a popular trekking route in the Everest region of Nepal, known for its stunning scenery, high-altitude lakes, and views of some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest. Here’s an overview of what to expect. Gokyo Lake Trek is one of the adventure treks in Khumbu Himalaya of Nepal which is known to be the home for the highest hill of the world.  Gokyo Ri and several Himalayan and lakes known as Gokyo Lakes the trek is beyond the largest glacier Himalayan kingdom in the alpine valley of six lovely lakes where there is a small peak known far and wide as the Gokyo Ri (5,357 m).

The Gokyo Lake Trek

These glorious mountains are standing gracefully behind the shimmering turquoise water surface of the Sacred Lakes. Although locals have named it the “Valley of Death” owing to the numerous lives that altitude sickness has taken; Gokyo lake is like a piece of paradise on Earth (Nepal, to be more specific).  We won’t be hiking to the base camp since standing on the Gokyo Ri itself will make you feel like you are already on the roof of the world! In brief, the trek is a pleasant trail with lots of photographic opportunities, not to mention a chance to visit the six sacred lakes of Gokyo valley and get closer to witness the typical lifestyle and unique cultures of an average mountain dweller.
