How Difficult is Gokyo Lake Trek?

For a walk of this length at such a high altitude, this trek is considered 'moderate'. The summit, at roughly 5,400 meters, is the greatest altitude attained by trekking a path that ascends Gokyo Ri. Because the peak of Gokyo Ri is around the same altitude as Everest Base Camp, this journey is relatively low in altitude. However, you will not be sleeping at this level at any point throughout the trek, and there are fewer nights spent above 4000 meters than on the Everest Base Camp expedition, making it less risky in terms of altitude-related issues.

What kind of accommodation and meals are provided during Gokyo Lake trek?

Yolo Hike is always concerned about your luxury and provides the best for our clients. Teahouses on the Gokyo Lakes trip, like elsewhere in the Khumbu region, are well-developed and relatively comfortable. This region offers a wide range of accommodations, from ultra-low-cost to high-end hotels with hot showers and electric blankets on the mattresses, similar to those found in Nepal's cities. However, not all accommodations, particularly in smaller villages, may be accessible in all grades. The cuisine will be delicious as well, with dishes like rice and curries, noodles, momos, soup, and Tibetan-style bread on the menu. Potatoes are a staple cuisine in the Khumbu region, and trekking lodge menus here feature them more prominently than elsewhere in Nepal, with fewer other fresh vegetables. As you climb higher, the amount of fresh food accessible decreases, and the cost of food increases.

When is the best time to trek Gokyo Lake?

The optimum periods to hike up to Gokyo are spring (March-May) and fall (October-November), as with most treks in Nepal (September-November). The weather is likely to be clear during these months, with pleasant daytime temperatures. The Khumbu region, on the other hand, is noted for being exceptionally chilly and dry, and due to the dry dust, many trekkers suffer the 'Khumbu cough.' Trekking is normally doable during the summer/monsoon and winter seasons, but you'll need to be prepared for harsh circumstances and may not obtain clear views. If you are not sure about choosing the correct season Yolo Hike will always be there to help you out simply email us at info@yolohike.com and we will reach you out with the information.
