The Gokyo Lake Trek is a series of six stunning glacial lakes nestled in the Gokyo Valley, situated at an altitude of about 4,700 meters. These turquoise blue lakes are considered sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists, adding a spiritual element to their natural beauty. The largest of these lakes, Dudh Pokhari, is a key highlight and offers panoramic views of the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Including the towering Cho Oyu (8,188 meters), the sixth-highest mountain in the world.
Cho La Pass
The Cho La Pass is one of the most challenging sections of the trek, sitting at an altitude of 5,420 meters. This high-altitude pass links the Gokyo Valley with the Khumbu region, leading trekkers towards Everest Base Camp.

When it comes to treks in the Everest region, flights between Kathmandu and Lukla are no longer available during October and November due to high air traffic, as per a government decision. Instead, there's an alternative route: a car journey from Kathmandu to Ramechhap (approximately 4 hours), followed by a plane from Ramechhap to Lukla (about a 25-minute flight). This applies to the return journey as well. For the rest of the year, flights between Kathmandu and Lukla are operational as usual.
The flight to Lukla, depending on weather conditions, offers a breathtaking experience. The small aircraft navigates through a panorama of snow-covered peaks and rolling hills adorned with terraced fields. From a distance, the Lukla airport's runway – situated on the edge of a small plateau with a sloped incline – appears remarkably narrow for a safe landing.
Upon arrival, our team of porters awaits, and the Sirdar supervises the distribution of loads. The trek commences with a gradual descent along a path that affords scenic views of the Dudh Kosi River below. The landscape is adorned with rice fields, traditional villages, chortens, and prayer-engraved stones (mani). Suspension bridges span across rivers, and the path is lined with majestic ancient cedar trees. We eventually reach the valley floor and settle into the Phakding Lodge for accommodation.

Being in good health is essential to fully enjoy your Alpinist Club trip. If your last medical visit was more than four years ago, please get another general physical exam and tell your doctor the nature of your trip (climate, altitude, difficulty, etc.).

Most of these symptoms usually go away within a few days, but sometimes they can develop into a serious illness: pulmonary or cerebral edema. There are no preventive drugs for AMS. Diamox diuretic is often effective for symptomatic relief, but you should first check with your doctor to verify that it is not contraindicated for you. Think about it before you go.
