This is the combination of Gokyo Valley and renowned Kalapathar treks in the Everest region. Our route takes us over the Cho La pass (5420m) providing exceptional views of the world’s highest mountain range and the greatest peak of all Mt. Everest.  We will fly in and out from Lukla at 3000m. Lukla is a small STOL (Short Take off & Landing) airfield close to our mountains. The flight from Lukla is “scenic” to say the least and probably one of the most spectacular flights in the world.

Our highly trained, skilled and experienced trekking guide will lead throughout the trekking period that will spend a significant level of time acclimatizing to new altitude to increase safety and comfortable levels.
