Everest Cho La Pass Trek in Nepal is also known as the Khumbu Circuit Trek. It covers one high pass, a glacial lake, and the iconic Everest Base Camp. This is a most satisfying walking detour to take if you are really into understanding the geography and culture of Khumbu. Trekkers follow the trip plans like those of the Everest Base Camp Trek until they return to Lobuche after an EBC visit. Please go through our EBC Trek package for more detailed information regarding the attractions up to this point of the journey.
Once trekkers take the trail of Chola Pass, the mountain thrill starts to take over. The course is slightly tricky as the trail is along the shore of the frozen icy lake. Heed the instructions of your guide while ascending to the top of Chola. Once you are on top, the majestic view of the mountains and surrounding landscape will let go of your tiredness. Get the astounding sights of more than a dozen mountains. The panoramic view of the mountains makes this place a paradise for landscape and mountain photographers. On the other side of the pass remains the Gokyo Valley. The Valley, which is situated in the Everest Cho La Pass Trek route, is indeed a mountain hamlet. The peaceful place located on the shores of Gokyo Lake is vibrant. The early sunrise as seen from the top of Gokyo Ri or the differing prospects of Mt. Everest is the major highlight of Gokyo. You can observe as many as five lakes around the valley.
Trekkers finally take the comfortable trail route towards Namche Bazaar via Dole and Machhermo. As the altitude decreases, the change in vegetation and landscape starts to get noticed. Our experience in mountain trekking taught us that the trekking route looks spectacular when you return from the final destination. Everest Cho La Pass Trek ends at Lukla.
Overall, if you want to experience the Sherpa people, high passes, Everest Base Camp, and Sunrise from Kalapathar (5545 m), this is an awesome chance. Book the Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo Chola passes and contact our travel planners for hassle-free services.
