Chola Pass Trekking

Cho La Pass Trek is one of the alternate options available to visit Everest Base Camp. It is a combined trek of Gokyo Lakes and Everest Base Camp with an option to cross a high pass named Cho La. Although trekkers can choose to join Gokyo and Everest Base Camp without crossing Cho La , most prefer to cross Cho La Pass due to stunning views of Himalayas and to come face to face with the natural beauty of Himalayas. Connecting three major places in Khumbu region; Gokyo Lakes, Cho La and Everest Base Camp, this trekking route is a combination of adventure and nature’s wonders. Chola Pass Trekking is an adventurous trekking route in Khumbu; the home of Sherpa people. This pass is between two small villages; Dragnak (4,700M) to the west and Dzongla (4,830M) to the east. Chola Pass Trekking is also known as Everest Circuit Trek. This pass is physically demanding during winter season and may require special foot gears. The top of the pass is unstable as well. This is an excellent trekking route that connects both Gokyo Lakes and Everest Base Camp. Visiting two main viewpoints i.e. Gokyo RI and Kalapatthar is demanding but worth to reach on top. Chola Pass Trekking is rated as adventurous trekking route that is suitable for mid-experienced trekkers. The route is filled with dramatic landscapes, towering snowy Himalayan peaks like Thamserku, Kangtega, Cho-Oyu, Pumori, Nuptse, Lhotse etc. including the majestic Everest itself. The trek is arranged in clockwise direction which is equally versatile in anticlockwise direction as well. Cho La Pass Trek is outstanding trekking trail. The trail starts from Lukla and goes through Dole, Machhermo and Gokyo before we stop in Thaknak for overnight before crossing the pass. Starting early morning from Thaknak, we will cross Chola Pass and then descend down to Dzongla for another night. We continue towards Lobuche, Gorakshep and Kalapatthar and descend down to Lukla where we will conclude our adventure.

Everest Classic Trek

Everest Base Camp Trek from Jiri is the original trail to reach Everest Base Camp, way back when there was no airport in Lukla. The trail from Jiri to Everest Base Camp is used by many expedition teams to reach the summit of the Himalayas, most notable in history, includes Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey Sherpa. We will be spending the first eight days trekking through beautiful villages, thundering rivers, ascending and descending the trail and acclimatizing our body to reach Lukla and further. Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek is nearly a month long holiday in the Himalayas to explore the beauty of these silvering mountains. Combined with the Everest Base Camp Trek from Lukla, the Everest Base Camp trek from Jiri is an ideal option to spend about a month-long vacation in the Himalayas.

Gokyo Lake Trek

Gokyo Lake Trekking must rank as one of the world's finest trekking destinations. Amazing bluish glacial lakes facing towering Himalayas make Gokyo Lake Trek an amazing route. For trekkers looking for a moderate challenging route in Khumbu valley, Gokyo Lake Trek is the best alternative to Everest Base Camp. Gokyo Lake Trek is an amazing walk in Khumbu valley with stunning views of the Everest Himalayan range. This trek is quieter than the Everest Base Camp trek, hence making it more suitable for trekkers looking for a relaxing trek in a peaceful environment. The lakes in Gokyo valley are simply amazing and calm, and the views from the top of Gokyo RI is not comparable with anywhere else. From the summit of Gokyo Ri, we gain stunning views of major 8,000 meters peaks including Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu in Tibet including beautiful Mt. Everest itself. Gokyo Lake Trekking is moderately challenging route as we are heading to Renjo La Pass. Himalayan Leisure, Inc. designed Goky
