Trip overview
Is this the right kind of trip?
Routes built around high glacial lakes rather than a summit view. Quieter than the base-camp trails, and often the better walk.
Gokyo Lakes Trek, Tilicho Lake Trek and Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Cho La Trek.
We match the trip to your dates, group and comfort level, and tell you honestly when a different kind of trip would suit you better.
