About the package
The trekking includes a scenic mountain flight from Lukla to Phakding, heading towards Namche Bazaar through the bank of Dudhkoshi River. We continue to rise towards Gorak Shep and climb to an amazing up-close viewpoint of Everest called Kala Patthar (5,545m). The route passes through Tengboche, a divine location with a desirable monastery, where we rest and savour the incredible scenery, including magnificent views of Everest, Ama Dablam (6,856m), Kantega (6,809m), Kwangde (6,194m), Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,511m) and lots of more trekking peaks of the Khumbu region. After Chola Pass, the trail to Gokyo gradually descends down the valley, navigating through birch and rhododendron forests where we can see the elusive Moschus moschiferus here and there on the way. While returning from the Gokyo Lakes, we pass through small yak-grazing settlements. We climb the Gokyo Ri (5,480m) and luxuriate in stunning summit mountain scenery consisting of Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyo, and Lhotse. The views of Ama Dablam and Taweche are splendid. Although trekking to Everest Gokyo Lake trek is comparatively challenging, it offers superb views of the high Himalayas and a bird's eye view of glacier lakes in Gokyo valley. During the trekking, you will encounter various local villages and monasteries that provide you with delights into the Buddhist religion, culture, and tradition. Everest & Gokyo Lake trek will be your life's most adventurous holiday with sweet memories.

Frequently Asked Questions
The peak seasons for visiting Nepal are October-November and March-April. During these months, you'll experience clear skies, moderate temperatures, and excellent visibility of the mountains. October-November offers stable weather after the monsoon season, while March-April treats visitors to blooming rhododendrons in the hills. However, be aware that these are also the busiest periods, so we recommend booking your trek and accommodations well in advance.
Yes, most trekking areas require permits. For popular routes like the Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp, you'll need both a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card and specific regional permits. Our agency handles all permit arrangements for our clients, including the required documentation and fees. We also ensure your permits are obtained well before your arrival to avoid any last-minute complications.

We always assess our clients' fitness levels and previous trekking experience to recommend the most suitable routes and provide appropriate preparation guidance.
Kathmandu's main cultural highlights include the Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur, the Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa.

Our guided city tours include knowledgeable local guides who can explain the rich history and significance of each site, and we can customize itineraries based on your interests and available time.
In Kathmandu, we partner with hotels ranging from comfortable 3-star to luxury 5-star properties, all in convenient locations. During treks, accommodation varies by route and preference.
