EVEREST BASE CAMP/GOIKO RI

This trip will encompass unforgettable terrain as we ascend peaks, trek through glacier fields and cross a gnarly 5420m mountain pass. We will start our trip by flying to Lukla and enter the khumbu Valley, where we will find our guide and enjoy meeting some charming locals. To ensure our safety and have comfort in having expert local knowledge, our guide (often referred to as a Sherpa) will accompany us on our trek. The Sherpas are Himalayan people from the borders of Nepal and Tibet and are renowned for their mountaineering expertise.

Nestled on a steep hillside with multicolored houses built in an amphitheater layout, Nanche Bazar is going to take our breath away. To further submerge ourselves in the beautiful culture of the region we will visit the Khumbu village of Tengboche, Where we will have the opportunity to participate in Buddhist ceremony.

Our Trek will take us via the emerald-green Gokyo Lake, Gokyi Ri peak and Chola Pass. An early ascent of Kala Pattar will be sure to get our blood flowing in build-up to our ascent up the Khumbu Glacier where our goal of Mount Everest base camp awaits us at 5,364m elevation.
