Walks near Gokyo Ri (5357 m)
Thagnak - Dzonglha
The second pass at over 5,000 metres on this 3-pass trek is the Cho La Pass at 5,430 metres. At the top, there is a beautiful panorama with a view of Lobuche (6,119 m).
Be careful, this pass is more technical than the first and may require crampons for the snowy sections!
Lungden - Gokyo
This stage is the first pass of the famous 3 Passes Trek! Renjo La, at an altitude of 5,360 metres, is reached after a 4-5 hour climb (it's worth the effort)! If you're lucky with the weather, this pass is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the trek.
Lobuche - Chukhung
The hike passes through the third and final pass of the 3 Passes Trek (Kongma La)! We leave the busy trail from base camp to climb Kongma La, at an altitude of 5,535 metres, after crossing the Khumbu Glacier. The view from up there is well worth the effort, with a magnificent lake below and, not Everest, but Lhotse, Makalu, Ama Dablam..
Gorakshep - Lobuche
We begin our return from base camp to rejoin the 3 Passes trek route.
This hike includes a detour to the highest point of our trek, Kala Patthar at an altitude of 5,645 metres, which offers a magnificent view of Everest.
