Everest Cho La Pass Gokyo Trek
- Gokyo Valley Trekking 12 Days
We had an awesome trek up to Gokyo and Gokyo Ri with our Guide Ram and Lakpa. Had heaps of snow over a few days that set the scene for some amazing views. Thanks to Ram and his team for all their help and making things so easy for us. Will definitely be back.
- Gokyo & the Renjo La in Comfort
Absolutely magical. We got stuck in a snowstorm and couldn't make it to Gokyo Lakes or the Renjo La Pass but the trip leader ensured we still had an adventure...we trekked to Ama Dablam Base Camp instead! The permanent campsites owned and operated by World Ex made sure that we had the flexibility to change our itinerary. Best adventure ever.
