Lobuche and Gorak Shep lead to Everest Base Camp at 5,364 metres, with optional Kala Patthar at 5,545 metres. After that the route turns toward Phortse instead of dropping straight back to Lukla. Phortse opens the quieter side through Machhermo to the Gokyo lakes, then Gokyo Ri for the viewpoint above the Ngozumpa glacier, waiting a morning if cloud sits on the ridge. The walk out continues through Dole and Namche to Lukla for the Kathmandu flight. Nineteen days give both the icefall and the lakes their own teahouse nights. You stay on a daypack while crew move the duffels, and walking-day meals are included. ✨ Why Choose Us Park papers, Lukla seats and lodge bookings are held on both sides of the loop, not only on the busy Base Camp trail. A licensed leader takes the small group, and the Thamel briefing covers the EBC days, the Gokyo turn and how the rest nights are paced. Porter support stays with you for the whole circuit. Cloud on Gokyo Ri is a reason to wait a morning, not to force the viewpoint. Safety checks and domestic connections stay with the same Kathmandu desk from briefing to the flight home. Lodge space on the quieter Gokyo branch is reserved before you fly. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Licensed trekking guide and support crew on the route Teahouse or lodge nights as per the confirmed itinerary Meals on trek days as full board unless your confirmation states otherwise Conservation area and local municipality permits arranged for you Domestic flights or road transfers when included in the package description Airport or Thamel transfers when flight details are shared in advance Group first aid kit with the lead guide ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport or Thamel pickups International flights and Nepal visa fees Personal travel insurance including evacuation cover Personal trekking gear, snacks, and bottled drinks Tips for guides, porters, and drivers Lodge extras such as hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging Costs from weather delays or voluntary itinerary changes ### Kit list Broken-in hiking boots and moisture-wicking layers Insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag rated for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, and personal medications Passport copies and insurance documents ## FAQs ### Why walk Gokyo as well as Everest Base Camp? You see two faces of the Khumbu: the icefall and expedition tents on one side, and turquoise lakes beneath Cho Oyu on the other, with extra nights to settle at altitude. The longer calendar also leaves room for monastery stops and a Gokyo Ri climb when cloud lifts. It suits walkers who want more than a single highlight day. ### How hard is Cho La? Cho La is a serious col day with an early start, possible snow, and a long descent. Fitness, broken-in boots, and your guide’s judgment matter more than speed. The itinerary builds toward the col with rest nights first. If ice or weather looks unsafe, the team may wait or use a safer link rather than force the crossing. ### When is the best season? Spring and autumn are the clearest for lake colour and pass travel. Winter cols can be icy, and monsoon months bring low cloud in the valleys. If your dates sit on a shoulder month, ask us on Adventuro Chat so we can talk through expected snow, lodge warmth, and flight reliability. ### What permits are required? National park and local municipality permits for the Khumbu are arranged from Kathmandu once we have your passport copies and confirmed dates. You do not need to visit permit offices yourself. Keep a spare passport photo and a clear scan of your details page in case a lodge or checkpoint asks. ### What fitness level do I need? Three weeks on trail with pass days and viewpoint climbs needs real endurance, not just a few gym sessions. Previous multi-day hiking is strongly recommended. Train with back-to-back hill days and a loaded daypack. Share recent walking history so we can be honest about whether this loop or a shorter Khumbu trek fits better. ### Are Lukla flights included? Kathmandu to Lukla and return are included when they appear on your confirmation, and they remain subject to mountain weather on both sectors. Build spare time after day nineteen before any non-flexible international flight. We message you as soon as the airstrip status is known each morning. ### What insurance do I need? Cover must include trekking above 5,000 metres, possible pass travel, medical care, and helicopter rescue in the Khumbu. Carry policy numbers in your daypack. If you want help checking altitude wording, send the summary page through Adventuro Chat before you travel. ### Can I join as a solo traveller? Fixed departures can run with one guest, and you will often share dining rooms with other walkers on the busy EBC corridor and quieter Gokyo lodges. Private groups are available if you want your own dates. Tell us group size and preferred month on Adventuro Chat and we will check lodge space. ### What extra gear helps on the passes? Warm gloves, a windproof layer, and trekking poles help on Cho La and Gokyo Ri. Microspikes may come out of the kit bag if the guide expects hard snow. We run through the list at the Kathmandu briefing so you can rent missing pieces in Thamel rather than discovering a gap at Machhermo. ### Where do we meet? We meet in Thamel for briefing and permits, with airport or hotel pickup when you send arrival times before the Lukla flight. Keep one early-night in the capital so the mountain flight does not start from a late international arrival. The team confirms the hotel name in writing. ## 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/WhatsApp_Image_2026-05-25_at_12.34.40_PM_thnezr-3.webp - **Gallery image count**: 1 ## 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.
