Additional Information

The Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Ri Trek is a remarkable journey that takes us through the lofty valleys of Khumbu. We begin by flying from Kathmandu to Lukla and then journey up the Dudh Koshi valley until we reach the Sherpa heartland of Namche. From there, we take the tranquil path to the Thame village situated in the Bhote Koshi valley. As we descend back to Khumjung, we come across stunning views of Kantega, Thamserku and the Nuptse-Lhotse structure with the imposing Everest above. In Khumjung, we sit in the shadow of Khumbila Peak, the dwelling place of the protector deity of the Khumbu region, before advancing up the Dudh Koshi valley to the azure lakes of Gokyo. From Gokyo, we make our way up to Gokyo Ri to witness a breath-taking 360-degree view of the snow-draped mountains in the Everest region.

From Gokyo, our next stops are Thagnak and then Cho La pass, which provides one of the most challenging days of the trek involving a steep traverse across a glacier and vertical icy rock surfaces. After reaching Dzongla, we take the lower path along the valley to meet the main trail leading to Everest Base Camp.

SKYDIVE POKHARA GREAT ADVENTURE - This Skydive Pokhara Adventure is Top of the world. Hands down one of the best Adventures of my life. The team is the best in the world and truly an International Team. Be assured they have only the best equipment and instructors and views. Pokhara is such a beautiful place and the Nepalese people are possible the nicest on the planet. From the people to the food to the temples to the Skydive, everything is 100 💯 stars. Explore Himalaya is hands down the number one treking and adventure partner you want. Chris Whitley

Adventure of a lifetime - We had the Trek of a life time. Bibek our Guide is a walking encyclopedia of the Himalaya. We where in the best if care. Our Porter Ram was also there every step of the way. We are average guys who took Chola pass for an extra trek. It was tough. Anuj and Trek Himalaya provided us with the support and guidance needed for a successful Trek. Without a doubt the best Trekking company in Nepal. We are looking forward to Annapurna Base Camp in 2023 with Explore Himalayas. They are closely affiliated with Summit Air and Fishtail Air so transportation and Helo flights can be easily arranged. Explore Himalaya Also runs Everest Skydive and Pokhara Skydive for more incredible experiences.

As wonderful as always!! - Always go with this company and Tiger as the chief guide. Wonderful experience. Guides and porters went above and beyond from morning tea and coffee in my room, to anticipating and providing for my specific dietary needs, to constantly looking out for me safety-wise. The only thing that marred a perfect trip was the tea hut we stayed in near EBC. Not the trekking company’s fault but this place was filthy, especially the one bathroom that served everyone staying there and the owner was unethical (I paid for electricity in my room from 6p-6a but the owner turned it off at 11p and refused to refund me the difference.) Would strongly recommend the trekking company use a different tea house at this stop. The rest of the tea houses were nice and comfortable and all had comforters. Will use this trekking company again next year (have booked with them 3 times now and happy each time).

All you need - I have been traveling in Nepal for 30 years and have been on many treks and mountaineering expeditions. Therefore, I can recommend Explored Himalaya as a service-minded, efficient and very knowledgeable agency. Their local knowledge and personal connections are invaluable.

Great trip, great service - Explote Himalya helped us in the very best way to realize our trek to Gokyo and EBC. The trek up to Gokyo from Namche was fabulous and also the early morning hike up to Gokyo Ri gave us splendid views over the Everest range, Choyo and the emerald green lakes. Thanks to E.H. the logistics for the trip ran smooth and very well. Thank you, Explore Himalya for your services and helpfulness.

Amazing trek - we chose to go to Nepal despite the monsoon - and I'm glad we did! we pretty much had the entire Gokyo trek all to ourselves! it is definitely recommended to take this trek, as the Gokyo lakes are incredibly beautiful. Anuj and his team were really good at helping us on our way - and later on there were two of us who ended up staying in Kathmandu for a few extra days, they also helped us with a day trip out of the city.

Trek to Gokyo Lakes and EBC - I did a brilliant Trek to Gokyo lakes and Everest Base Camp with Bal and Sureman and my family. We had a great time and felt thoroughly supported, extremely well looked after and very safe in their care. The trek was at times very challenging, especially Cho La Pass, and without their guidance and support it would have been so much harder! I am so proud to have been able to achieve this trek and would not have been able to do it without them! I would definitely recommend Explore Himalaya to other travellers. I had a great time and not only enjoyed their company but appreciated their knowledge about the mountains and surrounding area.
