About this experience
Series of Turquoise Lakes The trek leads to six sacred glacial lakes, the highest freshwater lake system in the world, set against the backdrop of towering Himalayan peaks. Panoramic 360° Mountain Views From Gokyo Ri (5,357 m), you get one of the best panoramic vistas—seeing four of the world’s highest mountains: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu & Cho Oyu. Less Crowded Trail Compared to the classic Everest Base Camp route, Gokyo offers a quieter, more peaceful trekking experience, ideal for those who love solitude & raw nature. Massive Ngozumpa Glacier Walk alongside the largest glacier in the Himalayas, an awe-inspiring landscape of ice, rock, and snow. The trek passes through traditional Sherpa villages like Dole, Machhermo, and Gokyo, offering a close look at their Buddhist culture & mountain lifestyle. Optional Everest Base Camp Connection Adventurers can combine the Gokyo route with Cho La Pass to join the Everest Base Camp trail — making it a perfect mix of beauty and challenge.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gokyo Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Gokyo Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region cost?
+
Prices start at $1890 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 Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region take?
+
Plan for about 312 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 Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region?
+
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 Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 312-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Gokyo Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region?
+
Around 0 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 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gokyo Lakes Trek: Turquoise Gems of the Everest Region 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, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit 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.
