Read the full journey overview
One of the finest ways to see Mt. Everest (8848.86m) is via the Gokyo Lakes located in the Gokyo valley where the Dudh Koshi River begins. Gokyo is a hidden valley with incredible views of the Mount Everest along with beautiful blue lakes. For many, the trek through Gokyo was a must-see experience on their way to Everest Base Camp. The mountain scenes from Gokyo are even more impressive than those at Kala Patthar.
