GokyoEBC Everest Base Camp's Most Beautiful Village

🚶‍♂️The usual EBC trek is from Lukla to Everest Base Camp and then back the same way, but trekkers have gradually developed a route that crosses the Chola Pass to Gokyo, a village in the EBC region that is considered the most beautiful village in the entire Himalayas, forming a small loop that avoids the repetitive section from Base Camp to Namche, and is now the preferred route for trekkers. 🏔️ Gokyo Gokyo is a small village in the Nepalese Himalayas, known as the "highest settlement in the world". It is located in the Gokyo Valley, surrounded by the blue ice lakes of the Dudh Koshi River. Here you will see traditional snow-capped roofs and yaks. Gokyo is also a great place to see the world's four highest 8,000-meter peaks: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. 🌄 Gokyo Ri Viewpoint Gokyo Ri is a 5,360-meter peak north of the village of Gokyo and a popular destination for trekkers and photographers. From this viewpoint, you can enjoy stunning views of some of the major peaks of the Himalayas, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. You can also see panoramic views of the Gokyo Lakes and glaciers. 🌊 Gokyo Fifth Lake Gokyo Fifth Lake is one of the Gokyo series of lakes, also known as Ngozumba Tsho. This lake is located north of Gokyo Ri, at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, and is one of the largest lakes in the Himalayas. When you stand by the lake, you can clearly see the reflection of Cho Oyu in the lake, which is an unforgettable experience. Gokyo, Gokyo Ri, and Gokyo Fifth Lake are all must-see sights on the EBC trek, and if you have the time, EBC+Gokyo is a highly recommended route.
