I’d heard whispers about the Gokyo Lakes, but let me tell you, seeing them in person? Absolutely unreal! This trek is so much more than just a path to Everest Base Camp. The route feels wilder and more remote, like you’ve stepped into a postcard. I went solo, thinking I’d just enjoy the solitude, but guess what? I ended up making lifelong friends in our group! There’s something about sharing those breathtaking views and challenging climbs that brings people together.
Our guide from HC Treks was a gem, he handled everything with this calm confidence that made us all feel safe, even when we were crossing the Cho La Pass. I mean, it can be a bit daunting, but with him leading the way, I felt like I could conquer anything! If you’re looking for an adventure that’s packed with stunning scenery and genuine connections, this is it. Trust me, you won’t just be checking off a bucket list item; you’ll be creating memories that’ll last a lifetime!
