Gokyo Chola Pass Trek
A fantastic trek that offers a good alternative route to the traditional base camp in the Khumbu valley with plenty of time at Gokyo to explore the wild beauty of the less populated area. Additional day trips and high altitude walking including the crossing of Chola Pass can also be tailored as per interest and timeframe of the clients. An incomparable blend of ancient Buddhist monasteries, serene Sherpa villages, rushing snow-fed river and sequences of the most beautiful panorama of the surrounding Himalayan Peaks are the highlights of this trek.
