About this experience

Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Ri Trek is an outstanding trek, which passes through the high valleys of Khumbu. Flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, we follow the Dudh Koshi valley up to the Sherpa capital of Namche, and then follow the quiet trail to Thame village in the Bhote Koshi valley. Descending to Khumjung, we are treated with the incredible views of Kantega and Thamserku and the Nuptse-Lhotse wall with Everest so realistic above. At Khumjung we rejoice below Khumbila Peak, home of the patron God of the Khumbu, before continuing up the Dudh Koshi valley to Gokyo’s alpine lakes. We ascend up to Gokyo Ri for a 360 degree panorama of snow-capped peaks in Everest Region. From Gokyo, we trek to Thagnak and then the next day cross Cho La pass, one of the toughest days of the trip as it involves steep glacier traverse through vertical icy rock surfaces. From Dzongla, we take lower route along the valley and rejoin the main trail to Everest Base Camp.

3 High Passes Trekking with Explore Himalaya - amazing experience

What an amazing experience we had during our 3 high pass trekking organized by Explore Himalaya. Everything was perfectly managed by the staff, starting from the top level accomodation in Kathmandu towards the flexibility provided to my friend and me during the entire journey. The guide and the porter, but also the local tour operator worked in a very professional way and I was suprised by the facility with which we were able to interact and communicate. Comparing our experience with other trekkers met during the travel, we discovered that our lodges were more confortable and we always get a cover, free purified water refill, the with biscuits every afternoon, great support, clear explanations, etc. I would say a big thanks to Bharat, Nir Kumar and An Kumar for making our dream an unforgettable reality.

Response from the operator: Namaste and thank yo very much for writing this amazing recommendation for us. We would like to congratulate you all for successful completion of the three passes trek. It is really great that you liked all our services and had a great time in Nepal. Thanks again.

SKYDIVE POKHARA GREAT ADVENTURE

This Skydive Pokhara Adventure is Top of the world. Hands down one of the best Adventures of my life. The team is the best in the world and truly an International Team. Be assured they have only the best equipment and instructors and views. Pokhara is such a beautiful place and the Nepalese people are possible the nicest on the planet. From the people to the food to the temples to the Skydive, everything is 100 💯 stars. Explore Himalaya is hands down the number one treking and adventure partner you want. Chris Whitley

Response from the operator: Thank you Chris for choosing us for all you adventures in Nepal. We are glad that we have been able to host you for your multiple adventures in Nepal. Thanks again for always recommending us. Happy traveling and hope to see you in Nepal soon.

Best Trekking and Adventure Company ever.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for reviewing us for your nepal tour with us. We are glad that you liked our services and this review of yours means a lot to us. We are very thankful and look forward to welcoming you in Nepal again.

Adventure of a lifetime

We had the Trek of a life time. Bibek our Guide is a walking encyclopedia of the Himalaya. We where in the best if care. Our Porter Ram was also there every step of the way. We are average guys who took Chola pass for an extra trek. It was tough. Anuj and Trek Himalaya provided us with the support and guidance needed for a successful Trek. Without a doubt the best Trekking company in Nepal. We are looking forward to Annapurna Base Camp in 2023 with Explore Himalayas. They are closely affiliated with Summit Air and Fishtail Air so transportation and Helo flights can be easily arranged. Explore Himalaya Also runs Everest Skydive and Pokhara Skydive for more incredible experiences.

Response from the operator: Dear Chris, thank you very much for writing this great recommendation for us. It was a pleasure to host this Everest base camp trek for your and your brother. We are very happy that you had a successful trek and enjoyed all our services., we look forward to welcoming you in Nepal again.

Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

How much does Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek cost?

+

Prices start at $2325 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek take?

+

Plan for about 480 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

Is Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 480-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 480-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Ri Trek start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

+

On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
