Trekking does not always come with an obligation to follow the route; it actually challenges you in many instances. Gokyo-Cho La Pass is one of the most adventurous treks one could ever encounter. The high Himalayan Pass called Cho-La Pass (5,420 m/17,782 ft) gives you the adrenaline rush, a sense of accomplishment, and an amazing experience in total.
Mountain Delights Treks and Expedition offers exhilarating trekking experiences with professional management and support in the Himalayas, and the Gokyo Cho La pass trek is one highly recommended.
This trek starts from Lukla and reaches the final destination, Everest Base Camp, via Gokyo and Cho La Pass. During the trek, you will accomplish more by climbing peaks including Gokyo Ri (5,357 m/ 17,575 ft) and Kalaptthar (5,545 m/18,192 ft) to get an amazing view of Mt. Everest and other mountain ranges. The view includes: Mt. Everest (8,848 m./29,029 ft) – the crown of the world, Mt. Makalu (8,485 m/27,838 ft); Cho Oyu (8,201 m/ 26,906 ft), Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m/ 27,940 ft), Mt.
