Overview

Everest Chola Pass trek explores the key areas of the Sherpa homeland, visiting Namche Bazaar before ascending the stunning Gokyo Valley to the glacial lakes under Cho Oyu (8153m). Here we climb Gokyo Ri for a marvelous view of Everest and much of the rest of this high mountain wilderness. We cross the glaciated Cho La Pass and rejoin the classic route to Base Camp used by all the great and famous climbing parties. Allowing ample time for acclimatization, we are able to get well away from the regularly-trekked areas, allowing for a great sense of exclusivity and adventure. Our aim is to visit Everest Base Camp on the Khumbu Glacier and climb Kala Pattar (5545m), which offers fabulous close-up views of Everest.
20 days Gokyo Lakes & Everest base camp trek will start after you arrive in Kathmandu where your accommodation and transfer from the airport are taken care of by us. We will also give you a tour of Kathmandu city where you can enjoy and buy your trek equipment if you need it. Keep in mind that we provide a free duffle bag when you arrive, also we provide a down jacket and sleeping bag for hire if needed, and we would appreciate if you would give us the details when you book our trip.
The next day we will fly to Lukla from where our trek starts and is a total of 17 days of walking, we will be spending our night in a teahouse through different places as stated in the itinerary. We give extra care to our clients with our excellent and certified English-speaking leader/guide who will help you with all the things you need and with their knowledge of the route you will find the trek more enjoyable.

FOOD AND ACCOMMODATION
During Trek Days
Breakfast is included throughout the trip. The breakfast at the teahouse will be a choice of bread ( a slice of toast, Chapatti, or Tibetan bread), Choice of egg (boiled, fried, or omelets), and either muesli or porridge each day along with tea/ coffee. Every day there may not be a choice of breakfast not either an egg, baked beans, and toast or a pancake with jam/honey will be served – these options are not available in every teahouse so we have only included them in locations where they can be guaranteed.
Most of the lodges have almost similar menus; they offer traditional Nepalese dhal bhat to the pizza and apple pies. Dhal Bhat is the foremost diet in Nepal and is served in many different forms. It generally comprises of lentils curry called dhal, meat or vegetables, rice, and a pickle. We advise not to eat Meat during the trek because meat has often been carried in the heat from lower altitudes for several days before reaching the lodges and can can cause upset stomach. There we also have a popular snack; Momos, which is a Nepalese-style dumpling filled with meat or vegetables which are usually steamed.
If any of you have a gluten-free diet we strongly suggest bringing some extra food and snacks on your own to supplement the food on the trek as there will be a few choices available for gluten-free. Even the soups contain gluten as they use powdered. There will be vegetable fried rice and a choice of eggs on specific days only. As well as for the vegan the choice will be limited to muesli/ porridge with water on specific days only. If you are lactose intolerant as opposed to vegan then you will be served the same and you will also have a choice of an egg.
Drinking water
During the trek, you should stay hydrated. Particularly so at altitude, we generally recommend drinking at least 3-4 liters per day.
We highly recommend you carry a bottle that can be refilled during the trek because using the single-use bottle on the trek contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in the Local community.
The teahouses sell the boiled water for approx. Rs. 150 -300 per Liter which does not require treating. Alternatively, teahouses will also provide cold water free of cost, but this should not be drunk untreated. So, we suggest you bring a reusable bottle and use an effective form of water treatment.
