19-Day Trek to Gokya-Ri and the Everest Base Camp
Summary
Witness breathtaking sites of Mount Everest and its neighboring peaks as you take this weeks-long trek. You'll begin in the Gundu valley before heading to Lukla by air and then to Chablung. Cross the Tharo Kosi river via a locally designed suspension bridge — one of many you'll pass over. From here you'll see the Kusum Kanguru peak. See the first of a few mani-stone painted ridges as you had to Phakding. Walk along the Dudh Kosi river on your way to Namche Bazaar, a trading center. You'll several villages separated by various forestry before arriving. Cross again at the Kyashar Khola river as you head to Monjo and then the Sagarmatha National Park. To acclimatize, you'll hike to the gorgeous villages of Thame, Phurte, Thamo, and Somde to reach Thami. Mounts Teng Kang Poche and Kwangde can be seen from here. On to Dole, you'll also see Khumbila and Tawache. You'll next head to Macchermo, and then Pangku, which is home to a large cave. Lake Longponga and Taujun both lie ahead of Gokyo, the home of stone houses and walled pastures. As you move on to the Cho La pass, you'll trek up to Kala Patter and, finally, the Everest Base Camp.
Highlights
- See awe-inspiring views of the Himalayan mountains including the famous Mount Everest as you make your way to the incredible Gokyo-Ri and Kala Patter.

Hyatt Regency Kathmandu
Hyatt Regency Kathmandu is a five-star luxury hotel and resort in Kathmandu, set on 37 acres of landscaped grounds and created in the traditional Newari style of Nepalese architecture. This beautiful hotel and resort is located on the road to the Boudhanath Stupa: the most holy of all Tibetan Buddhist shrines outside of Tibet and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located within a five-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is just four kilometres (2.4 miles) from the Tribhuvan International Airport and six kilometres (3.7 miles) from the city center of Kathmandu.
Day 2
Kathmandu– Optional morning walk in Gundu Valley to stretch your legs and experience local village life. Guided tour of World Heritage sites in Bhaktapur while we complete your trek permits and other preparations. In the evening we will have a detailed trek briefing and traditional Nepali welcome dinner with your trek guide.
Day 3
Kathmandu to Phakding (2610m)– Early morning you will be picked up by your guide to go to the Kathmandu airport, from where we will take the flight to Lukla, which will take us about 30 minutes. At Lukla, we will meet our porters and then head north from the airstrip to Chablung (2700m). Here we will cross the Tharo Kosi river on a local-style suspension bridge. Just past the bridge, we can see the peak of Kusum Kanguru (6367m), which is the most difficult of the so-called “trekking peaks”. Beyond the Tharo Kosi, the trail climbs a bit towards Ghat (2590m), we will cross a ridge marked with painted mani stones and trek on to Phakding where we will stay overnight (3 hrs).
Day 4
Phakding to Namche Bazaar– Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3420m)
From Phakding we follow the valley of the Dudh Kosi river, staying on the west bank of the river. We then climb steeply over a rocky ridge towards Benkar (2710m). From here the trail continues alongside the river. All along this part of the trail, villages are interspersed with magnificent forests of rhododendron, magnolia, and giant firs. In both the early autumn and late spring, the flowers on this portion of the trek make it a beautiful walk. We cross the Kyashar Khola river and climb out of the valley to Monjo (2840m).
Just beyond Monjo, the trek enters the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park, which was established in 1976 to protect a 1148 sq km area surrounding Mt.Everest. Beyond the national park entrance station, the trail makes a steep rocky descent and crosses the Dhud Kosi river on a 120m-long suspension bridge towards Jorsale (2830m). After crossing this river a few times while climbing our way up the valley we will reach Namche Bazaar (3420m). Namche Bazaar is the main trading centre in this region and features numerous shops, lodges, and restaurants (6 hrs).
Day 5
Namche Bazaar– Namche Bazaar / Acclimatization (3440m)
The Himalayan Rescue Association doctors have determined that you must acclimatize before we begin our trek to Gokyo. It is easy to get too high too fast and succumb to altitude sickness. Today we will do the hike to Thame and back. Thame lies at an elevation of 3750m, near the foot of a large valley west of Namche Bazaar. The route passes the settlements of Phurte (3390m), Thamo (3440m) and Somde (3580m) before arriving in the Sherpa village of Thami (3750m). We will have good views of the snowy peaks of Teng Kang Poche (6500m) and Kwangde (6187m) to the south. After our lunch, we will return to Namche Bazaar for the night (6 hrs).
Day 6
Namche Bazar to Dole (4090m)– The trail first climbs steeply out of Namche, and then through rhododendron forests that give way to fragrant stands of juniper and large conifers. This part of the trek is especially beautiful in spring when the rhododendrons are blooming. We pass a herders’ hut at Tongba (3950m) and then climb gently to Dole. From here the views of Khumbila and Tawachee are tremendous throughout the day, and it is possible to climb a ridge behind Dole for an even broader view up and down the valley (2 hrs).
Day 7
Dole to Machhermo (4410m)– The trail starts today by climbing steeply through scrub junipers to a single lodge at Lhabarma (4330m). We pass the small settlement of Luza (4340m) and continue to climb along the side of the valley, high above the river, to Machhermo. It was here that a yeti supposedly killed three yaks and attacked a Sherpa woman. This is the most credible yeti incident ever reported, so be watchful as we visit this region (2 hrs).
Day 8
Machhermo to Gokyo (4750m)– Beyond Machhermo the trail climbs a ridge for an excellent view both down the valley to Kantega and upwards to Cho Oyu. Beyond the ridge, the valley widens as the trail reaches the small village of Pangka (4390m). After passing Pangka the trail drops briefly, then climbs to a large cave known as Nilibuk.
After Nilibuk we climb steeply along a narrow, newly crafted staircase trail. At the top, the trail crosses a simple wooden bridge to the first small lake, Longponga, at 4650m. The trail then becomes almost level as it follows the valley past a second lake, known as Taujun, at 4710m and finally up a boulder-strewn path to Gokyo. Gokyo is a collection of stone houses and walled pastures on the shores of a large lake known as Dudh Pokhari (4 hrs).
Day 9
Gokyo– The views around Gokyo are tremendous. For the best views we will climb Gokyo Ri (5357m) today. From here we will have a panoramic view of Cho Oyu, Gyanchung Kang, Everest, Lothse, Makalu, Cholatse and Tawachee. After we enjoyed the view we will return to Gokyo village for the night (4hrs).
Day 10
Gokyo to Thangna (4700 m)– Today we will cross a glacier and will see several small ice lakes. Although it will be a short day it can be tricky to stay on the undulating trail that can change throughout the season based on the seasons and conditions (3 hrs).
Day 11
Thangna to Chola pass - Zhongla– Thangna to Chola pass (5350 m) and to Zhongla (4800 m)
We will start trekking at dawn today because it will be a long day and we want to cross the high pass before the winds come up later in the day. There are spectacular views of the peaks on both the Gokyo and EBC side of the Cho La pass, as we near the high point of the climb (8 hrs).
Day 12
Zhongla to Lobuche (4910 m)– We will be able to start later today and walk at a more leisurely pace, reaching Lobuche in time for lunch. You’ll enjoy resting at Lobuche after the challenging crossing of Cho La, and to get prepared for the trek up to Kala Pattar and EBC the next day (3 hrs).
Day 13
Lobuche to Gorak Shep (5160m)– The first section of today’s trail follows the western side of the broad Khumbu valley and ascends gently through meadows beside the glacial moraine. The ascent becomes steeper and rougher as it crosses several side moraines. After rounding a bend in the trail, the conical peak of Pumori comes into view. On the lower slopes of this mountain, a ridge extending to the south terminates in a small peak, known as Kala Pattar (5545m), meaning ‘black rock’. The trail then makes a short descent onto the sandy, flat expanse of Gorak Shep. From here we will continue to the current Everest base camp, which is about a 4-hour walk from Gorak Shep. We will return to this small settlement after our visit to the base camp (6 hrs).
Day 14
Gorak Shep to Lobuche (4930m)– After an early morning rise, we will start our day by climbing the Kala Pattar (5545m). This is a steep ascent up the grassy slopes west of Gorak Shep. From Kala Pattar the entire Everest south face is visible as well as Lho La (the pass between Nepal and Tibet, also named the Western Cwm), Changtse (the northern peak of Everest) and most of the West-Ridge route. We return to Gorak Shep and continue to descend to Lobuche (6hrs).
Day 15
Lobuche to Tengboche (4360m)– To go to Dingboche we retrace our steps back to Dughla, and then go straight up the hill from the bridge to reach an upper trail, staying high above the valley floor. The views from here are great. You can easily recognize Island Peak and the top of Makalu is visible in the distance over the pass to the right of Island Peak. After passing a chorten we will descend to Dingboche. The route from Dingboche descends to the Imja valley, then crosses the Khumbu Khola on a wooden bridge and climbs to rejoin the upward trail at some stone huts. Following the trail downhill from here, we will arrive at Tengboche where we will be able to visit the famous sherpa Buddhist monastery (7 hrs).
Day 16
Tengboche to Monjo– We will have a steep descent from Tengboche, down to the Dudh Kosi river, before making a gentle ascent back up to Namche. From Namche we descend steeply again down the narrow valley, crossing several suspension bridges along our route to Monjo (5 hrs).
Day 17
Monjo to Lukla– It is a fairly easy walk from Monjo to Lukla that is mostly downhill along the Dudh Kosi river, with a final climb to Lukla. In Lukla, we will have time to reconfirm our flight tickets for the next day and explore the town where we will spend the night (4 hrs).
Day 18
Lukla to Kathmandu– The 35-minute flight will leave early in the morning from Lukla and bring us back to Kathmandu. There should be plenty of time for any final shopping, sightseeing or just relaxing after your trek. Overnight stay at hotel.
Day 19
KathmanduTransfer to the airport for departure flight from Kathmandu.
Travel FAQs
COUNTRY INFORMATION
Essential Information
Early History Nepal has been inhabited by people for more than 2,500 years, with evidence suggesting tribes of mountain-dwelling people moved to the area from China and other Central Asian regions. Due to a lack of archaeological evidence, little is known about the early periods of history in Nepal, with legend and folklore providing the backdrop to this kingdom of mystery. Ruled early on by the Kirati Dynasty, Nepal continued to be ruled by a succession of dynasties until the Malla Dynasty emerged in the 12th century. During this time, the kingdom expanded rapidly and widely before evolving into small communities with local rule. By the 15th century many temples and palaces had been built in Nepal, some of which are still in existence either as functioning temples or UNESCO World Heritage sites. The kingdom of Nepal was unified by King Shah in 1768, and went on to sign commercial treaties with Britain in 1792 and 1816 after hostilities with the British East India Company. Recent History Nepal held its first elections in 1959, but with the king dissolving parliament and banning political parties soon after, Nepal’s monarchy retained power. After decades of pro-democracy movements, Nepal was finally declared a democratic republic in 2008, with Nepal’s monarchy being removed from power after ruling for more than 240 years. Nepal celebrated its Year of Tourism in 2011, with arrivals increasing year upon year since 2006 due to increased infrastructure, expansion of air travel and the enduring popularity of the Himalayas and mighty Mount Everest.
Getting There
Kathmandu is the international airport in Nepal. Typically, the flights arrive in the early afternoon, you have some time to walk around and enjoy dinner that evening. The departure tax out of Kathmandu is about $26. From the U.S., you will most likely fly through Bangkok (Thai Air), New Delhi, or another city in Asia, and you may have to overnight in this city. Because of the dateline and the overnight, it takes 3 days to get to Kathmandu. AWR can help book a hotel and transfers in Bangkok and New Delhi for you. From Europe, flights depart from many major cities. There will be at least one stop en route to Kathmandu, depending on the airlines. It is at least 15 hours of travel time one-way. Overnight in New Delhi: If you need to spend the night in New Delhi on your way to Nepal, you can stay at the Eaton Smart New Delhi Airport Transit Hotel without needing an India visa. Rooms are about $120. If you stay more than 8 hours in the room, add another $20 for taxes. To leave the secured area of the airport, you will need to arrange an India visa ahead of time. AWR can help arrange your local and international flights.
Getting Around
Getting around is one of the biggest challenges of travelling in Nepal. Distances aren’t great, but the roads are poor and extremely slow, and public buses are crowded and uncomfortable. Tourist buses are available on the main routes, however, and you can always hire a motorcycle, or charter a taxi, car or 4WD vehicle, or catch a flight. Nepal’s highways are irregularly maintained, and each monsoon takes a toll on surfaces. Wherever you travel, the route will probably be new in parts, disintegrated in places, and under construction in others. The country has a truly appalling road safety record, and accidents are common. And, in addition, blockades or general strikes (bandh) can at times make travel virtually impossible. By bus Allowing for bad roads, overloaded buses, tea stops, meal stops, the constant picking up and letting off of passengers, and the occasional flat tyre or worse, the average bus speed in the hills is barely 25–30km per hour, and on remote, unpaved roads it can be half that. Along the Terai’s Mahendra Highway, it’s more like 50km per hour in an express bus. Bus frequencies and approximate journey times are given throughout this guide. Inevitably, these figures should be taken with a pinch of salt: the bus network seems to grow every year, but political troubles or festivals can dramatically reduce the number of buses, and some gravel or dirt roads are closed altogether during the monsoon. Open-air bus stations (also known as bas parks or bas islands) are typically located in the dustiest parts of town. Tickets are generally sold from a small booth. Destinations may not be written in English, but people are almost always happy to help you out if you ask. In Kathmandu and Pokhara you may find it easier to make arrangements through a travel agent (though make sure it’s one you’ve been recommended), while in cities you can ask your hotel to buy a ticket for you. Even the longest journeys on public buses should cost no more than Rs500. Regular tourist buses connect Kathmandu with Pokhara, Sauraha (for Chitwan National Park) and Sonauli, as well as Pokhara with Sauraha and Sonauli. The vehicles are usually in good condition, making for a safer ride than in a regular bus. They aren’t supposed to take more passengers than there are seats, so the journey should also be more comfortable and quicker too. Some companies use minibuses, which are somewhat quicker – occasionally dangerously so. Book seats at least one or two days in advance. Note that ticket agents often add an undisclosed commission onto the price. Long-distance public bus services generally operate on an express basis – meaning they stop at scheduled points only. They’re faster and more comfortable than local buses. Express buses fall into two categories: day buses, which usually set off in the morning, and night buses, which usually depart in the afternoon or early evening. Night buses are generally more comfortable, though legroom is always in short supply, and between all the lurching, honking, tea stops and blaring music you won’t get much sleep (bring earplugs and an eye mask). Night journeys are also significantly more dangerous, and it’s not uncommon for drivers to fall asleep at the wheel. Like tourist buses, and unlike local buses, express buses allow you to reserve seats in advance. Do this, or you could end up in one of the ejector seats along the back. Numbering begins from the front of the bus: the prized seats #1A and #2A, on the left by the front door, often have the most legroom. You can usually get away with buying a ticket just a few hours beforehand, except during the big festivals, when you should book as far in advance as possible.
Visa and Permits
All foreign nationals (except Indian passport holders) require a visa to enter Nepal. Visas are obtainable from embassies abroad, land borders (including borders with India & Tibet) and on arrival at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan Airport. Getting a visa at the airport or land borders can sometimes take time due to long queues. There have been instances when travellers are asked to show proof of exit from the country, ie flight tickets. You may also need to provide two passport photos and the following fees in US dollars (subject to change, cash only). Other currencies are also accepted although rates may differ.
Local Customs
With more than 30 different ethnic groups and a wide range of religions and language dialects, Nepalese society is rich in diversity. With Indian, Tibetan, Chinese and Mongolian influences, Nepalese food, clothing, customs and music vary, depending on what area you’re travelling in and what ethnicity people belong to or identify with. Hinduism is the dominant religion, followed by Buddhism. Standing alongside these religions, there are also small populations of people who follow Islam and Christianity. Simultaneously, animist beliefs and belief in spirits is common throughout Nepal, particularly within rural communities. Like India, the caste system exists in Nepal, as does the custom of arranged marriage. As one of the least urbanised countries in the world, life differs greatly between the rural and city-dwelling populations, with rural people largely living a very simple, traditional life – slow-paced, village-based, in connection to their family and local community. Visitors will be charmed by the hospitality of Nepalese people, who are generally very friendly and welcoming of travellers.
Events and Festivals
Phalgun Festivals Kathmandu explodes into a whirlpool of colour, dance, music and rhythm with the annual Phalgun festivals – Losar, Shivaratri and Holi. Expect everything from public bathing ceremonies to people committing extreme feats of weight lifting with their body parts! With Tibetan rice wine flowing and an amazing array of festive food on offer – this is a great time to be in Kathmandu. Indra Jatra This eight-day festival held in Kathmandu features ceremonies, dancing and displays of spirituality, but none of these events compare to the spectacle of the third day when Kumari (the living goddess) tours the city streets aboard a chariot. Other popular gods also come out to play and parade, as masked dancers perform in Durbar Square in this exceptional display of local culture. Mani Rimdu Festival Offering a rare chance to observe the Sherpa culture of the Everest region, this festival held at Tengboche Monastery features days of meditation cycles, religious ceremonies, masked dances and parades. This holy time for Buddhists sees locals travel by foot to receive blessings en masse against a stunning Himalayan backdrop.
How difficult are the treks?
This depends on where you want to trek, the altitude and the duration of the trek. The shorter treks tend to be easier while the longer ones require more physical fitness. Be aware that the high altitude, thin air and your current fitness also will play a major part in your interpretation of the word “difficult”. You will usually trek 4 – 6 hours per day. Most treks are of difficult enough to require good physical fitness or some and/or endurance training prior to the trek.
What type of shoes or boots should I wear?
That depends on the type of trek. Shorter treks at low altitudes can be done in running shoes while longer, more demanding treks at high altitudes require sturdy trekking or hiking boots. It is best to buy shoes and boots before arriving in Nepal, and to break them in before arriving for your trek.
When is the trekking season?
The best time to trek is from October to May. The first two months of the dry season – October and November, when it is still comfortably warm – are ideal for trekking in Nepal. December, January and February are still good months for trekking, but it can be bitterly cold at high altitudes. The spring, March – May are also good trekking months when the mountain flowers are in bloom and the weather is relatively mild. The summer months bring monsoon rainy weather when trekking is not ideal except for selected areas in Nepal.
What about the risk of altitude sickness?
Adventure Asia will always give our guest the necessary time to acclimatize to higher altitudes. Our guides and helpers are trained to spot any signs of altitude sickness (AMS) and know how to handle the problem. They can also provide you with Diamox and other aids to alleviate AMS symptoms
What happens if there is an emergency?
Our guides are trained in first aid and can deal with most of the basic ailments that can occur during a trek. If an emergency occurs, professional help from a rescue organization will be needed. That is why every client should have their own emergency rescue and health insurance arranged before coming to Nepal.
How much money should I bring for the trek?
The amount of money you bring on a trek depends on you. Cold sodas during the day and an occasional beer after a long day of trekking is a welcome treat. You may also want to buy additional food or souvenirs. We recommend having about US $10/day for these possible expenses.
What's your refund policy ?
Below is our cancellation and refund policy: 🔸 60 days prior to arrival date: No cancellation charge for the land cost. We guarantee 100% of the land cost back. The airline cancellation fees are applied according to the airline's policy. 🔸 59 - 30 days prior to arrival date: 5% cancellation charge + airfare cancellation fees 🔸 29 - 15 days prior to arrival date: 10% + airfare cancellation fees. 🔸 14 - 8 days prior to arrival date: 40 + airfare cancellation fees. 🔸 7 days prior to arrival date: 100% 🔸 No show: 100% Please note that the domestic flight tickets in the package are non-refundable
