Gokyo Lakes Trek
The Gokyo Lakes Trek is a popular trekking route in the Everest region of the Nepalese Himalayas. It offers stunning views of the Gokyo Lakes, a series of high-altitude glacial lakes known for their vibrant turquoise color. The trek typically takes around 12 to 14 days and includes stops at traditional Sherpa villages, allowing trekkers to experience local culture.
One of the highlights of the trek is the ascent to Gokyo Ri, a peak that provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest. The trek is suitable for moderately experienced hikers and is less crowded than the classic Everest Base Camp Trek, making it a serene alternative for nature lovers.
