Highlights
- Gokyo Ri - The Gokyo Lake Trek, also known as the Gokyo Lakes Trek, is an alternative route to the classic Everest Base Camp Trek. This journey leads you through the untouched valley of the Everest Region, home to 19 interconnected freshwater lakes.\nVisitors can explore this enchanting Sherpa Valley either before or after reaching Everest Base Camp (5,364 m). The path of the Gokyo Lake Trek initially coincides with the standard Everest Base Camp Trek up to Mong La Pass (3,610 m) before veering off in a different direction.\nThis trek offers views of the towering summits of the Khumbu Region, including four of the world’s highest mountains. The lakes’ vibrant turquoise waters, the local Sherpa culture and customs, and the ascent of Gokyo Ri (5,357 m) stand out as the trek’s primary attractions.\nThe Gokyo Lake Trek traverses the planet’s loftiest conservation area, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This area is dotted with forests of pine, oak, and rhododendron, and is a habitat for various alpine birds and wildlife.\nTrekking enthusiasts can also venture to the Everest View Hotel (3,880 m), which holds the record for the highest hotel in the world. From this vantage point, guests are treated to an intimate view of Mt. Everest.\nThe Sherpa Museum and the traditional villages serve as a living cultural exhibit. By visiting these locales, one can gain insight into the unique ceremonies and traditions of the Sherpa people.

All-round carefree care 😊 - We wanted to come to Nepal for a 2-week trek and chose Nepal Trekking Routes as our tour operator - a good decision 😊 Shailesh planned and organized our vacation individually for us and was also very attentive to us on site and available at all times. He always got us the best outcome from all the unexpected turns! Bishnu Magar did a fantastic job as our guide and adapted our trek perfectly to our ability and speed. We had very impressive days in the Himalayas and couldn't have wished for a better tour!

Amazing experience. - We did Gokyo and Everest base camp with a helicopter return. It was a fantastic adventure and very happy with the professional organisation of Nepal Trekking Routes. Very personal approach with the travel agency made to all our questions was well appreciated. The guide and porter were knowledgeable and friendly. We'd recommend our trip to anybody looking to experience trekking in the Himalaya mountains.

Without doubt one of the favourite destinatons is Nepal - Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed by Shailesh, the CEO of Nepal Trekking Routes. My name was mentioned on the board and I felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere I had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that Ni wan deserves a special thanks. I had two great weeks there, which obviously also added up to the experience. The guide Kumar who did the the Kathmandu valley city tour was exceptional! I truly enjoyed his wisdom and passion for not only what he does but also his obvious passion for Nepal.
Ni Wan is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking with Ni wan and Bishnu the porter through the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relief to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The natural lakes at the end was a great way to end the tour.
The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for Ni Wan and his team who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide!
Many thanks again and I recommend Ni Wan and to everyone!
