Everest Base Camp via Gokyo & Cho La

So now and then we publish a new trip! This trip is a great alternative for the normal route to the Everest Base Camp. As you know, Everest base camp is a very inspiring place. It is the starting point for the ascent to the world's highest mountain. Many people gave their lives to get there, many of them started in this base camp. It is a place of natural power and an emotional and spiritual place of happiness, frustration and sadness. During this journey you trek through the Gokyo valley trek across the Cho La pass to the base camp of Mount Everest. This trek is more demanding than the normal route to Mount Everest, but also much more varied. You climb Gokyo Ri (5357m), visit the Gokyo Lakes, cross the Ngzumpa glacier and Cho La (5420m). After the ascent of Kala Pattar (5554m) and a visit to the Everest Bae Camp we'll trek back to Lukla and Namche Bazar via the beautiful normal route. An adventurous and challenging variation on the normal route to Everest Base Camp. Highly recommended!

This season we’re using the Mountain Hardware domes for our Everest and Lhotse Expeditions. For us it’s exciting news, let’s hope our clients enjoy it as well. Continuously quality improvement!

As you may have guessed, yes, the Everest season has started and we're already in the base camp to setup camps... We'll be leaving from Kathmandu soon, too.



It's a busy start of the year with several great treks, varying from Manaslu and the Annapurna's to Mera Peak and Api. Then the weather is just great and it's getting warmer quickly now. In short, it's gonna be a great season! Join us! http://amplify.com/u/bwkf3
