Cho La on everest trek
On the way back from Kala Pattar, we give people the option of going over the beautiful Cho La Pass (video), leading across to the Gokyo Valley, via Zongma and Tangnak. Truly spectacular!
The Gokyo Cho La Trek option involves crossing a glacier; however there are no serious dangers on route,or technical difficulties unless there has been heavy snowfall. In that case we trek back by the normal route.
This is the perfect loop on our way back out to Namche and Lukla.
From Gokyo we will ascend Gokyo Ri, a small summit (5483 m) to the north west of the village. The climb takes around two hours,and is well worth the effort,(video) with spectacular views of Everest, Cho Oyu and the turquoise lakes of Gokyo(video). Some trekkers regard this view as even better than from Kala Pattar.
After visiting this region,we will trek back through the lovely Sherpa villages of Macherma and Dole to Namche Bazaar.
