About this experience
Tranquil hamlet situated on the shores of turquoise blue lake is everybody’s dream destination Everest Gokyo Lake Trekking endows exactly the same atmosphere. On the bank of Gokyo Lake (Dudhpokhari) at the foothill of Gokyo Ri adjacent to Renjola Pass and on the junction of Chola Pass the great tranquil valley of Gokyo remains magnificently. This is the most scenic and romantic destination of entire Khumbu trekking in Nepal. There are no words to describe the scenic beauty of this place. If you want best view of Everest including its Tibetan section and also if you want a fairyland experience then this would be an ideal choice.

Nepal Trekking Route provides an excellent service. If I come back, I will choose this company again.
The views were absolutely beautiful. The Chola Pass was a challenging trekking, but I really love it. It’s amazing. I eventually like this trekking better than Everest Base Camp. The trekking went very well. This is my second time in Nepal, hosted by Nepal Trekking Route. I really like this company. Shailesh goes above and beyond to provide the best unique trekking experience. Bishnu, the well trained local guide, is always happy to offer additional opportunities to explore areas of my interest. He worked hard and spent more time to enrich my journey. I went solo, yet never felt alone. Bishnu and Tek (my porter) were my best friends during this challenging journey. I was very comfortable and enjoyed the trekking.
Response from the operator: Hi Van Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Gokyo, Chola Pass, trek—even more than Everest Base Camp! It was our pleasure to host you again. Nepal trekking Routes Team truly enjoyed being part of your journey. We're so glad you felt supported and never alone. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next adventure in Nepal! Thanks Shailesh Pokharel Nepal Trekking Routes Pvt Ltd

All-round carefree care 😊
We wanted to come to Nepal for a 2-week trek and chose Nepal Trekking Routes as our tour operator - a good decision 😊 Shailesh planned and organized our vacation individually for us and was also very attentive to us on site and available at all times. He always got us the best outcome from all the unexpected turns! Bishnu Magar did a fantastic job as our guide and adapted our trek perfectly to our ability and speed. We had very impressive days in the Himalayas and couldn't have wished for a better tour!
Response from the operator: Hi Jana Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Nepal Trekking Routes! We're thrilled to hear that Our Company and our guide Bishnu Magar, and our team made your 3-week trek in Nepal a memorable one. It's heartening to know that our personalized planning, attention to detail, and adaptability contributed to your enjoyment, especially amidst the unpredictability of the Himalayas.

Your satisfaction is our ultimate reward, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future! Thank you very much once again.

Amazing experience.
We did Gokyo and Everest base camp with a helicopter return. It was a fantastic adventure and very happy with the professional organisation of Nepal Trekking Routes. Very personal approach with the travel agency made to all our questions was well appreciated. The guide and porter were knowledgeable and friendly. We'd recommend our trip to anybody looking to experience trekking in the Himalaya mountains.
Response from the operator: Hi William Thank you very much for your Experience with us and for sharing your experience regarding Our Gokyo Chola Pass Everest base camp trek.

Your feedback regarding our service means a lot, and inspire us to provide quality service for our traveler. Thank you very much once again and will catch you soon for another adventure.

Without doubt one of the favourite destinatons is Nepal
Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed by Shailesh, the CEO of Nepal Trekking Routes. My name was mentioned on the board and I felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere I had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that Ni wan deserves a special thanks. I had two great weeks there, which obviously also added up to the experience. The guide Kumar who did the the Kathmandu valley city tour was exceptional! I truly enjoyed his wisdom and passion for not only what he does but also his obvious passion for Nepal. Ni Wan is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking with Ni wan and Bishnu the porter through the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relief to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The natural lakes at the end was a great way to end the tour. The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for Ni Wan and his team who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Ni Wan and to everyone!
Response from the operator: Dear Izabella Thank you very much for your nice words and using our service. We would love to welcome you Nepal again for your next great adventure. Your recommendation is highly welcome and would be happy too. We will provide the best service to the guests which you already experienced. Many thanks

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass trek): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass trek) cost?
+
Prices start at $1290 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 Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass trek) take?
+
Plan for about 432 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 Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass trek) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass 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 Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass trek) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 432-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass trek)?
+
Around 1 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 432-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gokyo Lake trek(gokyori trek, Chola pass trek, Renjola pass 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, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek. 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.
