16 reviewsGokyo Lakes Everest Base Camp is the Everest region's most scenic and thrilling trekking route. The Gоkуо Valley and Everest Base Camp are two different trekking trails, but the combination of both treks offers an extraordinary mountain experience. The Everest Base Camp Gokyo Lakes Trek is two separate valleys linked by the Cho-La Pass.
This trek takes you through a remote Nepal region home to abundant wildlife, including rare Himalayan blue sheep and elusive snow leopards. The trail is quite challenging, but it offers impressive views of the surrounding mountains.
You can go to the Everest Base Camp and see the beautiful scenery. The picture is so breathtaking that you can't help but be in awe. Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, and other mountains can also be seen.
You will find many monasteries in the Everest region. The most famous monastery is Tengboche and Khumjung, an ancient and beautiful hermitage.
The Gokyo Lakes Trek is shorter than the Everest Base Camp Trek but more challenging and requires some fitness. The EBC Trek via Gokyo Lakes is suitable for all levels of fitness. You can do this as a multi-day trek. It is possible to do this trek in less than a week or as a longer trek of two weeks or more.
The Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo Lakes is the most popular and spectacular trekking in the Everest region. It takes you through the stunning Gokyo Valley and the Cho La Pass (5,450m) to reach Everest Base Camp (5,300m). The trek starts from Lukla and ends at Lukla (2,800m). The hike is suitable for all levels of fitness and experience.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
