Short Description of
Gokyo Ri Trek
This trek features the unbelievable scenery of the
remote Gokyo Valley and its festival of beautiful
turquoise lakes, moonscape-like glaciers, and
stunning mountain vistas that include Everest,
Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu - four of the eight
highest peaks on earth! The 360-degree view from
Gokyo Ridge is the best in the Khumbu!
The beginning of this trek is the same as hiking to
Everest Base Camp. On the way, we'll stay two nights
in the village of Namche Bazaar to acclimatize.
Namche is considered the trading center for the
Khumbu region, and people walk from as far away as
Tibet every Saturday to sell their wares here. This
is also the hub onto which each trail converges, so
yaks and people compete for space in this
amphitheater style city.
After visiting Namche, we’ll head up the valley
leaving the usual Everest trail and following the
rivers run off from the Ngozumpa glacier. After two
days we will stop again in the village of Machhermo
for another rest day and the chance to hike up
Machhermo RI. Our Next stop will be the Gokyo
Valley.
Your arrival into this high mountain valley called
Gokyo is welcomed by a string of cobalt blue lakes
that continue for the 3-hour hike to Gokyo Village,
which sits at the foot of Gokyo Ri (18,300 ft) a
huge black mound of rock and dirt. The next morning,
you're invited to take the 3-hour hike to the summit
of this black, rocky mound to witness the 360-degree
Himalayan view offered only from this vantage point.
The Himalayas stand like giants guarding the border
into Tibet. From Gokyo Ri you'll see much more than
Mount Everest -- there are magnificent views of many
of the other 8000-meter peaks from here as well. |
