This trek stands as a great alternative to the popular Everest Base Camp Trek. Located at the end of the Dudh Kodhi valley, it offers tranquil trek through the Sherpa heartland allowing abundant time for acclimatization with the world class mountain panoramas and beautiful alpine camp sites. The highlight of the trek though is the ascent of Gokyo Ri from where you will get breathtaking views of Everest as well as the 8000m peaks of Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho-yu.
