The Everest Gokyo Ri Trek is an 11-day moderate trek that has also been referred to as the Hidden Treasure alternative trek to the Everest base camp trek. Although Gokyo Ri is located at a height of 5,483 meters, climbing permits are not required to climb the peak. In total, two types of permits are required: the permit for Sagarmatha National Park and the permit for Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipalities. The Gokyo Ri Trek is one of the most amazing treks in the Everest region. I would like to speak to you today about the Gokyo Ri Trek and how adventurous it is! It is located in the country of Nepal. In the past, the Gokyo Ri Trek in Nepal was once considered to be the best place to get a view of the Everest range.
Trekking through the Gokyo Ri allows you to see a variety of mountain landscapes, including Mount Everest, Makalu, Cho Yu, Pumori, and Ama Dablam in addition to Gokyo Ri. It provides an insightful view of the mountains from the peak of Gokyo Ri. It is possible to summit Ngozumpa Tse Peak if you have sufficient energy left after climbing Gokyo Ri.
In the evening, the trek to Gokyo Ri offers a stunning view of Mount Everest. If you are not tired on the day that you reach Gokyo Lake Lodge, then you can climb in the evening, or if you have an extra acclimatization day, then you can hike the following evening. With the setting of the sun, all the white peaks of the Alps in the evening turn a copper color, including Mount Everest. While the morning scenery is equally beautiful, it is the evening scenery that is the most spectacular. Despite the fact that morning views are not as good as the afternoon or evening views, morning views are also absolutely fantastic
If you’re climbing Gokyo Ri for an evening view, don’t forget your headlamp or torchlight, as after sunset it becomes too dark to see the descent trails. There will be one flashlight carried by the guide, but that will not be enough if there are more trekkers.
The trek to Gokyo Ri is a moderately difficult one. This trek requires a reasonable level of physical fitness and stamina as you will be walking for 5 to 6 hours. During November and December, the Gokyo Ri peak is quite difficult to reach, as there are narrow rocky trails and an icy, slippery ascent. The ice and frozen snow can make climbing more challenging so we recommend using microspikes if you are planning to climb at the end of autumn. It is important that before deciding to embark on this trek, you understand the challenges and the complexities involved so that you can prepare for a safe journey.
There are numerous opportunities to hike up the Renjo La pass, trek to Everest Base Camp Gokyo, or trek to Everest Base Camp Gokyo; however, the Gokyo Ri Trek is a rare opportunity to summit the Gokyo peak and marvel at the Himalayan landscape. Then you can explore the beautiful blue-colored Gokyo Lakes and the beautiful fifth lake.
If there is no snow on the mountain, Gokyo Ri Peak is very difficult to climb, and the summit of the mountain is your ultimate goal. Taking in the beautiful mountain scenery after the group photo session on the Gokyo Ri, enjoy the view from the top. Afterward, return to the same lodge in Gokyo village for breakfast. Then, continue your trek back to Dole.
The accommodations at Gokyo lake are very nice and clean. There is a dining room with heaters in every tea house, and most tea houses have private rooms with two beds and separate toilets. There is a 3.3 square kilometer catchment area for the lake. In general, trekkers usually stay two nights at Gokyo hamlet before exploring the fifth lake on the third day.
Taking a scenic flight to Lukla is the first step of the Gokyo Ri trek itinerary. In the next part of the trek, starting from Lukla (2860 meters), we move on to Phakding (2610 meters) and then to Namche Bazar (3440 meters). On the latter part of the trek, the route changes from heading east through Dole (4038 m) to turning west towards Machhermo (4470 m). It is then followed by Gokyo (4750 m). There are stone steps used by Sherpa and Yak caravans to supply the stuff along the trails, which follow these stone steps paths.
The best time of year to trek the Gokyo Ri valley is during the fall and spring. Trekking in the Gokyo valley is not recommended during the monsoon and winter seasons. In Gokyo, it doesn’t matter when you trek, remember that the weather is determined by the mountain.
We recommend that you start jogging for an hour a day for at least two to three weeks in your country before you begin the Everest Gokyo peak trek. This will help you and boost your stamina while hiking.

Gokyo Trekking
Himal arranged for a porter guide and a porter to meet us when we arrived in Lukla. Don’t just hire guides from Lukla as they may not have the correct gear or insurance. The porter and porter guide were both insured and very helpful. I would like to hire guides through this company on my next trip to Nepal.
A well-organized, honest, and helpful agency!
Great trek, great guide, helped with all papers, helped with force-Majeure situations. I did the Everest Region and Gokyo trek with this agency in August 2021. The agency helped prepare all the paperwork needed to enter the country during pandemics. Second, the guide Parki Dan is a great guy who helped me a lot and became a good friend of mine.
Third, when unexpected circumstances occurred (a flight cancellation for several days in Lukla, landslides blocking the road), Himal and his agency were willing to help! Fourth, they are pleasant and honest.
I appreciate your help! I’ll be back soon.
Excellent 14 days trek in Gokyo
I was unable to join any group due to my date constraints. Therefore, I asked Himal of Nepal Wilderness Trekking to organize for me an individual trek in Gokyo valley for 14 days. This was so I could enjoy the Fifth Lake, the glacier, and other parts of the valley. I was offered a much better rate by him than any other trekking company for an individual trek with a guide. As a guide, Sushil Rai (Nabin) not only explained a lot to me about nature and mountains, he also paid attention to my altitude adaptation. The lodges we stayed in were always of very high quality.
I am grateful to Himal and Nabin for their excellent organization. I am also grateful to them for lending me souvenirs from the trip.
Gokyo valley Chola Pass trekking incredible Everest and Makalu Peak View from Gokyo Ri, at 2016 Oct, guide Dewan Rai and Porter Bikram Tamang, Subash rai.
It was excellent trekking and guide and porters, and every evening card trick makes us refresh our journey, thank you Nepal Wilderness Trekking guide Team, we thoroughly recommend our friend to Nepal Wilderness trekking agency for trekking to Everest Gokyo Valley, we also love to back in the futures to do Annapurna Base Camp.
Nepal Wilderness Trekking is taking care of our trekking to Gokyo Ri trekking, and I had a lovely time experiencing the fresh air, beautiful weather and good Nepali food. Friendly guide Lal Gurung and porters Ramesh.
I also had a spectacular experience to see a fantastic sunrise over the Everest Top and Makalu from Gokyo Ri, A right place for photographers to shoot. It was quite inspiring as we could see the entire Gokyo valley and was also a cold day – nice to walk in the shade and breathe in the clean mountain fresh air. And finally thanks for taking care of our entire trip to Nepal Gokyo Valley (Gokyo Ri) Trekking, we had a great time and of course our next trip we already decided our next trip to Nepal with Nepal wilderness team.
My girlfriend and I arranged to do the Gokyo Valley Cho La Pass and EBC trek through Himal, and we were pleased with the result. Dewan Rai, our guide cum porter, was a knowledgeable, kind, and altogether great person.
He taught us a Nepali card game and generally enhanced the experience. I highly recommend both Dewan and Nepal Wilderness Trekking and will use them on any future treks in Nepal. Michael Seattle, WA, USA
I recommend Nepal Wilderness Trekking agency Himal Ghale firstly for his professionalism. He was flexible, prompt in his email communication, punctual for meetings and clear in what he was providing. If you want reliability, this is your man.
Himal purchased out permits and fixed us up with a porter guide (Diwan from Lukla) and a porter for our trek in the Gokyo valley in November 2012. We were delighted with the two of them and also the backup support from Himal’s friend in Lukla’ (who was help at the airport). He also arranged a one-hour class with a teacher of Nepalese language. That proved very useful.
