trip information

Gokyo Ri peak (5357m), another enticing attraction of this trek is that it has a great view of Mt. Everest and here, we can revel in a 360-degree panoramic view of giant mountains along with the view of Mt Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Pumori, Lingtren, Chola Peak, Machherma Peak, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Kusum Kangaru.

The Sherpas are the aboriginal people of the Himalayas, who have adapted to the harsh conditions of the alpines. Witness a unique blend of Nepalese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism lifestyle and tradition of the highly religious Sherpas. On this trip, therefore, we will also be able to see monasteries, flags of prayer, and scribbles that have soaked in them for centuries.

Pack your bags and prepare for a trip to the world’s most amazing hills! See the day-by-day itinerary under the Itinerary section.
