Full description

This is a more serene trek through the heart of Sherpa terrain that affords ample time for acclimatization with great chances to view mountain panoramas that warm up your emotions from the teahouse guesthouses you live in & as you hike the trails. The core attraction of the trek is our ascent of Gokyo RI at 5360m. We climb to the higher elevations of Gokyo’s alpine lakes as we explore the upper valley beneath the huge mountain massif of Cho Oyu. From the summit at over 5000m we take in lovely views of Everest as well as the 8000m peaks of Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu in Tibet. This area is not only place to view peaks & lakes, but the whole region is also seeped in spirituality and we see this in the many colorful & quiet monastery, where we are warmly welcomed by monks who happily provide us butter tea. Tengboche, Pangboche, Namche, Khumjung, Khunde and Thame are some places where we find some of the most important monasteries in the region.
