Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo-Ri is one of the most beautiful trekking destination in the Everest region of Nepal that one should choose to do once in a life time. The Yak pasture land and the beautiful mountain are the gift for the trekkers. Normally, Gokyo Trek makers can observe 3 lakes which are beautiful and Climb Gokyo- Ri 5,480m/17,974ft peak from where we can see Mt. Everest 8,848m, Mt. cho-Oyu 8,201m, and many popular high standing peaks.The NgoZumba Monster Glacier is one of the most attraction point for the People who visit this area.If any one wish to visit 4th and 5th Lake they would need an extra day. Anyone wish to do Ranjola pass 5,485m and return from Thame valley or Cross Cho la pass and visit Everest base camp have optional extra days trek plan. We suggest people try Ranjola pass trek which makes your Trek even better and can return back to Namche bazaar without using the same route specially few lakes and huge Yak pasture and the Tibet route are the attraction point. Gokyo Lake trek is moderate trek so no technical skill is needed.We suggest our valuable guest to do some hiking exercise before your trip to Gokyo.
