The trek to Gokyo provides an excellent opportunity to see an eyeful view of the Mt. Everest at close range.

This trek is to be considered as an alternative trek to the traditional Everest Base Camp trek that offers magnificent view of the mountain peaks and the Ngozumpa Glacier- the largest in the Nepal Himalayas.

The image of of this region is associated with the soaring view of the most popular mountains in Nepal, at an altitude of 8000m including Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu which are clearly visible from Gokyo Ri (5483m.) above Gokyo Lake.

One of the most remarkable feature of the trek is the view of tremendous ice ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung (2922m) located in Khumbu region.

Mountain sickness:
Any person traveling above 2500m may experience mild symptoms of altitude sickness. The first signs are headache, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, loss of body fluid and swelling. When you see these symptoms should stay at that altitude acclimatization to the full body. Should eat from 2 to 4 liters of fluid per day. If symptoms persist, and the condition worsens, you should immediately go down. Sometimes even the 300m. can play a crucial role. When planning your trip, leave a spare few days to acclimatize to the altitude of 3700m and 4300m. After 4000m try not to go up by more than 500m per day. You may not adequately assess his condition, so always follow the advice of an accompanying guide or locals.
