Gokyo Ri Trekking |
|
Everest Gokyo Ri Trek is the
best destination for trekkers. This trek begins
at the mountain airstrip at Lukla a one hour
flight from Kathmandu. Our destination is the
high altitude lakes of Gokyo at over 4200 mtrs.
Less frequented than the E.B.C route the trek
provides some tremendous high altitude trekking
and a visit to the second largest glacier in the
World. From the top of Gokyo Ri there are some
spectacular mountain views including Everest. We
return to Lukla and our flight back to
Kathmandu. |
