 The
ultimate challenge is the trek across Cho La Pass (5,420m),
which takes 18-21 days and covers both the Gokyo Lake
area and the Everest Base Camp. There are some short and
interesting "climbs" of Gokyo Ri, Chukkung Ri
and Kalapatthar for the classic views of icefalls and
glaciers of Mahalangur Himalayan range which comprises
of five major 8000+ m. peaks - Everest, Cho O Yu, Lhotse,
Lhotse Shar and Makalu.

Mountains & Sherpa country. After a magnificent mountain
flight to Lukla we follow the Dudh Kosi valley to Namche
Bazaar. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent up the
valley passing through patches of birch and rhododendron
forest where the elusive musk deer can sometimes be seen.

lakes where we climb the Gokyo Peak (5480m) and enjoy
stunning summit mountain scenery including Everest, Makalu
and Cho Oyu. After the Cho La pass, we reach Dzongla.
