When I was planning my trek, I had a tough choice between the classic Everest Base Camp trail and the Gokyo Lakes route. But let me tell you, picking Gokyo was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I’d heard whispers that it was less crowded, and boy, were they right! The moment I hit the trail, I felt this incredible sense of peace wash over me. The stunning turquoise lakes? Absolutely breathtaking! Seriously, they look like something straight out of a postcard.
Now, let’s talk about the view from Gokyo Ri. I mean, wow! Standing up there, gazing at the majestic peaks, I couldn’t help but think it rivals, if not beats, the view from Everest Base Camp. It’s like you’re on top of the world, soaking in nature’s beauty without the hustle and bustle of the more popular trails. And trust me, that feeling is priceless.I can’t say enough good things about HC Treks, either. They were super professional but also felt like friends. They made sure I was safe, acclimatized, and genuinely enjoyed every moment of the trek. It’s not just about reaching the destination; it’s about the journey, and they nailed it! If you’re looking for an adventure that’s off the beaten path, Gokyo is where it’s at!
