Highlights

Gokyo Valley Trekking route takes you to the less popular, yet more beautiful, part of the Everest region. The journey begins with the exploration of the ancient, cultural and historical heritage of Kathmandu valley. Take on this less traveled path as we wander through the trail to the settlements of Dole and Machhermo. followed by the beautiful Gokyo valleyand an exploration of the Gokyo village, one of the highest settlements in the world. As a part of this trek, we will ascend the Gokyo Peak. Atop the ridge, there is a stunning view of the Ngozumba glacier, from where, you can enjoy panoramic views, which have to be seen to be believed. The Ngozumpa glacier provides a picture-perfect backdrop for this stunning panorama. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8511m), Cho Oyu (8153m) and Makalu (8463m) are the five highest mountains to see from here. The view from this peak is more beautiful than the iconic and more popular Kala Patthar in the Everest region. The return journey from Gokyo valley is a leisurely trek to Namche and Lukla, before returning to Kathmandu. Intermittently, we also trek past Buddhist monasteries and prayer wheels, suspension bridges festooned with prayer flags and other cultural symbols.

Mountain lodges or tea houses. Based on location, the tea houses vary on their quality and style on this trek. Each of them have communal room downstairs with one or two bed bedrooms above them. You have to share toilet facilities. Some have hot shower facilities but some will have a stand pipe. Tea houses use a burning stove in main communal area. The other rooms are unheated. Tea houses do not have money exchange facilities. We recommend you exchange cash in Kathmandu.


At the lower altitudes there is electricity to charge your electronics. As we go higher tea houses become more basic. Cooler temperatures drain battery life, ensure your batteries last a little longer by putting it inside pocket of your coat during the day or under your pillow at night.

Incredibly supportive!!

Adventure Tripr facilitated an unforgettable journey for us in the Himalayas, reaching Everest Base Camp alongside my dad, a dream fulfilled. Right from the outset, Dipak and Adventure Tripr were incredibly supportive, addressing all our queries and ensuring we felt at ease about the trip. The trip was organized and planned in a manner that set us up with the highest probability of success to reach EBC. Our trekking guide, Nirmal, was absolutely incredible. He ensured our needs were not just met, but anticipated beforehand. Every aspect of our needs was catered to and he did with a warm smile and positive attitude, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the trekking experience. I wholeheartedly endorse Adventure Tripr to anyone embarking on an adventure or seeking a trusted service committed to providing an exceptional experience. They truly aim to exceed expectations and craft an adventure of a lifetime.

Above and beyond every expectation

Adventuretripr is such a wonderful company! This is my 2nd trip I've booked with them and everytime our trips go without any hiccups. Everything is taken care of for us and the communication beforehand to help get you ready is wonderful as well. We did a trip to Everest base camp with an added yoga experience and it was above and beyond every expectation I had. I highly reccomend booking through adventuretripr. Its the best way to travel with very little stress, and knowing you are in great hands with the porters, accommodations, etc. You will NOT be dissapointed!

Highly Recommend Adventuretripr!!

We had a group of 12, mostly strangers on the Yoga EBC trip. Every facet of our adventure was taken care. All we had to worry about was what we wanted to order for Breakfast and Dinner. Nirmal was our amazing Guide. Extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and funny. He made sure everyone was having a great time, without overloading us. The owners of the Teahouses were so friendly and accommodating. The Porters were a great bunch of young men. Always smiling. This was a once in a lifetime trip that I was lucky enough to share with my daughter and 10 new friends. The Yoga was an extremely important part of this trip. The stretches, breathing and meditation that our awesome instructor Ainel lead us through focused on areas that we had used or where going to use on the next day. He taught us novices so much. He was a great guide too. Every single person in our group had an amazing time. I highly recommend using Adventure Tripr. We are already discussing booking another adventure with them. Namaste

Incredible Experience! Thank you Adventuretripr!

I went on my EBC trip with AdventureTripr in September 2022. What an amazing trip it was! The whole trip and fine details were all taken care of by AdventureTripr. As a solo traveler I was apprehensive not knowing what to expect. But my expectations were beyond excellent! We had the best accommodations, guides, porters, food, lodges! From the time we got picked up from the airport till we got dropped off- some 14 days later we were treated like a family. We had authentic local food, entertainment, and tours that was part of our package. This was a yoga included package, experienced amazing yoga sessions with breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges! Our Guide Nirmal took care of each of us like his own family! Overall- an amazing dream come true experience! I plan to make all my future adventures with AdventureTripr ❤️ Thank you AdventureTripr for making this a very special amazing experience. 🙏🏻

I am originally from the Gorkha district of Nepal. I am a government trained professional trekking guide and I have guided on most of the trekking routes and tours in Nepal. I am also a travel consultant for several well-known trekking companies. It has been an exciting journey for me. I started as a porter and worked my way up to become a highly respected guide and consultant. I now run a trekking company. Nepal is a fascinating and diverse country, where just a few miles will take you into a completely different landscape. I enjoy finding new routes so that our clients can have the best possible choice. And I enjoy travelling with them as they discover my country for themselves.
