Overview:
One of the most daring journeys in the Everest Himalayas is the Gokyo Lake and Everest Base Camp Trek, sometimes referred to as the Everest Circuit Trek. It travels from Gokyo to the Base Camp of Mount Everest (5364m) over the high pass of Cho La (5330m). Discover the Buddhist monasteries located at the highest point in the world, and take in the breathtaking views of Everest (8848 m) and many other peaks in the Khumbu region.
The 15-day Gokyo Lake and Everest Base Camp Trek begins in Lukla and travels through the Dudh Khosi Valley to Namche Bazaar, the busiest trekking hub in the Khumbu region. To get to the breathtaking Gokyo Lakes, the hike winds through fir and rhododendron forests. The unspoiled beauty of the deep valley will astound you, and the warmth of the residents will make you feel at home. You will find yourself in the lap of nature as you ascend to a higher height. You will want to stay forever because of the snow-capped mountains and the orange sky at sunrise or sunset. After reaching Gorakshep, the journey proceeds to Everest Base Camp, from which it continues to Kala Patthar. Prepare to be astounded by the spectacular and enormous Himalayas of the Khumbu region as you arrive at the foot of the magnificent Mount Everest. Your memories of the breathtaking and scenic scenery will last a lifetime.

Every meal is served as a full-board meal. The majority of the food you eat will be fresh and locally sourced. Please notify us in advance if you are a vegetarian or vegan.
Accommodation available on the trek:
You will spend the night in a standard Kathmandu hotel. On the trek, teahouses will probably be the lodging option. In Nepal, teahouses are reasonably priced lodging options designed for tourists. Most of the accommodations are simple. They often have low-rise mattresses with foam mattress covers, plastered or wood-paneled walls, and a single window. Some teahouses have heaters in each room, but the majorities have a central burner that is lighted at night. There are also hotels that offer hot showers. The majority of locations provide electrical charging, even though it might already be charged. We advise double accommodations in our recommended schedule because it could be challenging to reserve a single room during the busiest season.
Best time to visit the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake Trek:
Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are the ideal seasons for trekking. Clear skies, pleasant temperatures, and the best views of the nearby peaks are all available during these times. At high elevations, springtime temperatures range from 20 °C during the day to -5 °C at night. The temperature is a little higher in the fall.
The monsoon season (June to August) provides heavy rain and challenging trail conditions in lower trek zones, while winter trekking is feasible but challenging due to thick snow covering the pathways at high elevations. At high elevations, winter temperatures range from 15 to -20 degrees Celsius, while summer temperatures range from 27 degrees Celsius during the day to 5 degrees Celsius at night.
