Overview

The tour merges the standard Everest Base Camp path with Gokyo Valley and Cho La Pass (5,420 m) delivering an exclusive package of expedition and cultural seeing.

The trek leads travelers to colorful Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar and Phortse before proceeding to Tengboche Monastery which functions as the spiritual heart of the Khumbu region. In Buddhist belief the local people hold these monasteries as holy centers for meditation and religious rituals. 

These sacred sites contain prayer flags, active prayer wheels and detailed religious mural artwork featuring Buddhist deities. Monkish chants create a peaceful and religious ambiance as they sound throughout the area.

Overcoming the demanding Cho La Pass creates a thrilling combination between Base Camp trail and Gokyo access which provides both excitement and fewer crowds during the journey.

During your trek, you will notice Himalayan Tahr and pheasants and also musk deer among the wildlife species. People looking for Himalayan exploration combined with adventure and cultural encounters find this trek suitable for the heart of the Himalayan range.
