Groups start at two people from age 13. Both Kathmandu to Lukla flights are included, and an English-speaking guide stays from airport pickup through the walk out. 📋 Key Details Days: 12 days from Kathmandu Ages: 13 and up High point: Gokyo Ri at 5483 m Group: Minimum 2 Flights: Kathmandu to Lukla and back 🥾 What to Expect A representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport, briefs you on the trek, and takes you to a Kathmandu hotel. The next morning you'll fly to Lukla and walk about three hours to Phakding. The following day is a little over five hours up to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu, then a steep climb through rhododendron, juniper, and yak pasture to Phorste Thanga and Machhermo. You'll walk about five and a half hours into Gokyo and spend three nights beside the lakes. One morning you'll climb steeply to Gokyo Ri at 5,483 metres. From the top you'll see the Gokyo valley, the Ngozumpa Glacier, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Gyachung Kang when the sky is clear, then return to the lodge. The walk out drops to Dole, through Khumjung to Namche, and on to Lukla, then you fly about 30 minutes back to Kathmandu. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included from the Lukla day through the night in Lukla on the way out. Groups start at two people. You need to be 13 or older. Lukla flights need a clear morning. 📍 Location Gokyo Ri looks down on a chain of lakes under the Ngozumpa Glacier, west of the main Khumbu path. The village lodges sit beside the water. Namche Bazaar and Khumjung are the Sherpa towns on the way in and out. Lukla is the airfield. Kathmandu is the hotel city at each end. You start and finish at Tribhuvan International Airport unless you are already in a city hotel. Gokyo nights are cold beside the lake, so bring a warm layer for the three nights at the water. ✅ Prerequisites Steep Khumbu paths of five to six hours should feel manageable, and you should be happy sleeping above 4,000 metres. Gokyo Ri is a hard climb to 5,483 metres. The minimum age is 13. Groups start at two people. Bring a passport and broken-in boots. Tell us about any heart or lung condition before you come.

Twelve days from airport pickup to the departure transfer. You fly to Lukla, walk to Phakding and Namche Bazaar, then climb through rhododendron and yak pasture to Phorste Thanga, Machhermo, and Gokyo. Three nights at Gokyo give you a day on Gokyo Ri at 5,483 metres before you walk out via Dole, Khumjung, Namche, and Lukla. Walking days are about three hours to Phakding, five to five and a half hours on the Gokyo approach, and about six hours on the way out. The usual season is September to December and February to June. ### Where do we sleep? Hotel nights are in Kathmandu at the start and after you fly back from Lukla. On the trail you sleep in lodges at Phakding, Namche, Phorste Thanga, Machhermo, Gokyo for three nights, Dole, Namche again, and Lukla. Lodge rooms are simple: a bed, blankets, and a dining room. Gokyo sits high beside the lake; nights are cold. Bring a warm layer. ### How fit do I need to be? The minimum age is 13. Groups start at two people. You should be happy walking five to six hours on a steep Khumbu path and sleeping above 4,000 metres at Gokyo. Gokyo Ri is a steep climb to 5,483 metres. Tell us about any heart or lung condition when you book. A passport is required for the Lukla flights. ### Are the Lukla flights included? Yes. The Kathmandu to Lukla flight and the return, about 30 minutes each way, are part of the trip. You'll see the same peaks from the air on the way home. Lukla flights depend on visibility. If cloud sits on the hill, your guide will hold you in Kathmandu or Lukla and move the departure when the pilots can fly. ### What will we see from Gokyo Ri? From Gokyo Ri you look at the Gokyo valley, the Ngozumpa Glacier, and a line of peaks: Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Gyachung Kang. The lakes below catch the sunset when the sky is clear. On the way in you'll pass Namche Bazaar, rhododendron forest, yak kharkas, and Machhermo beside the Ngozumpa moraine. The walk out goes through Khumjung, a Sherpa village above Namche. ### Which meals are included? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included from the Lukla day through the night in Lukla on the way out. Day one meals are not included. The last Kathmandu hotel night and the departure morning include breakfast. Trail snacks, extra drinks, and tips are your own. Tell us about dietary needs when you book. ### What should I pack? Bring a water bottle, trail snacks, trek trousers, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a daypack, a torch, a hiking pole, and a warm jacket for Gokyo. Your passport is required. Keep luggage light for the Lukla aircraft. A power bank helps in lodges where charging is limited. ### Can I cancel? You can cancel up to 24 hours before the trip for a full refund, in line with the Flexible policy. If snow or wind sits on Gokyo Ri, your guide will hold the climb and try again the next morning while you still have nights at the lake. ### Where do we meet? A representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport on day one, briefs you, and takes you to the hotel. The last morning is a transfer back to the same airport. Have your flight details ready when you book. If you are already in a Kathmandu hotel, tell us so we can collect you there. ### Is a certificate included? This is a guided lodge trek, not a qualification course. You will not receive a trekking award. Your guide stays with you from the airport through Namche, the three nights at Gokyo, and the walk out to Lukla. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fa77afcd-ddff-4969-9430-00045e2972e7-2.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
