Gokyo-Chola pass is an optional trekking route to the Everest Base Camp trek. This route is comparatively challenging and adventurous than the main trail. The Challenging Chola-Pass route connects to Gokyo and Everest Base Camp. Gokyo is a small settlement where the teahouse, lodges are seasonally available. The Gokyo lake trek is more popular among the trekkers due to its altitude. Gokyo- Ri peak is known as the best viewpoint and offers a panoramic view of many mountain peaks including the majestic Mount Everest range. The further trek to Everest Base camp, Cho-La pass is a bit challenging part of this trip. Everest base camp is the ultimate destination situated at an altitude of 5316 meters. Next is the Kala- Pathar (Black- Rock) peak to explore the entire Himalayan ranges of the Khumbu region. It takes 2 hours to the top and provides a panoramic view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhoste, and Mt. Makalu. On the way down to Lukla, we will have a chance to visit the famous and biggest monastery in Tengboche of Khumbu valley.

Reading about famous expeditions since I was young, I knew, once I will step on the same path and see same view as these heroes did… Happened…. A month ago I stepped on the height of 5300 meter and had a chance to breathe the smell of the world highest mountain. The excitement for these mountains and high respect for Kathmandu city I felt before my trip, turned on true love with mountains and the city together. Destination Management Inc. Director plays one of main roles in this change, since first day I contacted this company. With quick answers, fixing the feeling of safety and trust in the individual traveler as I am, assuring all doubts I had. Kathmandu opened the warm embracing for me thank to this nice hearted men, guiding me through exciting experience I will keep forever. Showing “stage” and “behind the scene”, making me know golden places, while uncovering the original daily Nepal life. All this with smile, friendship, patience, answering tens of questions, always on time. And a friend that was between first addressees of my messages during the trek in Himalayas, watching my steps and always with care. Thank you Gupta for being an important partner of realizing one of my biggest life dream.
